Lake Valor
Lake Valor

Lake Valor (Japanese: リッシこ Risshi Lake) is where the legendary Pokémon Azelf lives. It is also where Team Galactic's Commander Saturn is battled for the first time. During the events of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, Team Galactic used a Galactic Bomb to dry up the lake. The resulting earthquake was felt in Canalave City, which is located on the opposite end of Sinnoh.

To get here fly to Pastoria City and go east through Grand Lake Hotel to get to Valor Lakefront or fly to Veilstone City and go south and reach Valor Lakefront. In the middle of the Lakefront is the entrance to the lake which is now accessible.

Investigation at Lake Valor

It's time to see what caused the big earthquake that you felt all the over in Canalave City. As you move into the Lake you will see a lot of grunts. One of the grunts will even say that they used a bomb which was the cause of the earthquake. The 2nd Grunt you see will battle you. Go all the west until you see a grunt and a bunch of Magikarp. In the southwest corner of that area is a hidden HP Up. Now make your way south, battle all the grunts and head inside the cavern.
