Dread-Plate 
Dread Plate is a held item in the Pokémon series that boosts the power of Dark-type moves by 20%. It is one of the Plates associated with the Legendary Pokémon Arceus, with its primary function being to amplify moves of a specific type—in this case, Dark-type moves.
When Arceus holds a Dread Plate, its type changes to Dark, and its signature move, Judgment, becomes a Dark-type move. This transformation allows Arceus to adapt its type and moveset to suit different battle strategies, making it exceptionally versatile in various competitive scenarios.
The Dread Plate bears the inscription: "The power of defeated giants infuses this Plate." This lore detail ties into the overall mythology surrounding Arceus and the Plates, suggesting that the power contained in the Dread Plate is derived from the immense strength of past titans.
In addition to its primary effects, the Dread Plate adds a layer of strategy, as Trainers must decide the best type enhancement for their
