Plates

A Plate is a held item that raises the power of the holder's corresponding-type moves by 20%. When held by Arceus, its typing and its signature move Judgment become the type of the Plate, and any corresponding-type moves, including Judgment itself, receive the power boost.

They can be obtained as a drop from Mega boss Pokémon, or from Beast Chests. The Pixie Plate can also be obtained from tier 2 Special drops. Some plates are also obtainable through other sources, such as End Cities containing Dread and Mind plates, and a Desert Temple containing Fire, Stone, and Earth Plates.
