Toxic Plate is a held item in the Pokémon series that boosts the power of Poison-type moves by 20% when held by a Pokémon. It is one of the many type-enhancing Plates associated with the Pokémon Arceus, which can change its type depending on the Plate it holds. When Arceus holds the Toxic Plate, it transforms into a Poison-type Pokémon.
In addition to its primary effect, the Toxic Plate gives players a strategic advantage by allowing them to enhance the capabilities of their Poison-type Pokémon or moves, especially in competitive play where the augmented power can turn the tide of battles. The item’s design often plays a critical role in constructing theme teams or supporting specific Pokémon builds.
The Toxic Plate first appeared in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl and continues to be available in subsequent games. Beyond its functional role in battle, the Toxic Plate, like other Plates, has lore implications, suggesting a deep connection to the Mythical Pokémon Arceus.
