Multitype in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl

Ability used by 18 Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl Pokémon.

Short effect

Changes Arceus’s type and form to match its held Plate.

Effect

Changes Arceus’s type and form to match its held Plate, including Pixie Plate. BDSP does not use Z-Crystals. Item manipulation cannot give Arceus a Plate or remove its held Plate; this does not protect every possible held item. A Pokémon transformed into Arceus keeps the target Arceus’s form regardless of its own held item. Multitype cannot be copied by Trace, Role Play or Skill Swap, or suppressed by Gastro Acid.
