Draco Plate
Summary
Draco Plate is a held item in the Pokémon series, specifically designed to boost the power of Dragon-type moves. When a Pokémon holds a Draco Plate, any Dragon-type move it uses will have its damage increased by 20%. This makes the Draco Plate a strategic choice for Pokémon that rely on Dragon-type attacks to maximize their offensive potential in battle.
In addition to its damage-boosting properties, the Draco Plate has a unique interaction with the Pokémon Arceus. Arceus, known as the "Original One," can change its type depending on the Plate it holds. When Arceus holds the Draco Plate, it becomes a Dragon-type Pokémon, and its signature move, Judgment, also turns into a Dragon-type move. This transformation allows Arceus to adapt its typing and strategy based on the needs of the battle.
The Draco Plate, along with other type-specific Plates, was introduced in Generation IV (Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum games). These items are often part of
