View source for Puddle

'''Puddles of water''' can be found throughout [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]] in Generations {{gen|III}}, {{gen|IV}}, and {{gen|V}}. While no [[wild Pokémon]] can be found in this terrain, puddles are well-known for appearing in the locations of [[legendary Pokémon]]. Because of this, puddles don't have any real use in the game overworld, and are mainly used for scenery.

==Generation III==
Puddles were introduced in {{v|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, where some areas, such as {{rt|120|Hoenn}} and {{rt|121|Hoenn}}, are affected by the [[weather conditions#Heavy rain|rain]]. When the [[player character]] walks or cycles through these puddles, the sound of splashing water can be heard, and his/her reflection can be seen.

Larger puddles appear on the event-only locations [[Southern Island]] and [[Faraway Island]]. {{p|Latios}} or {{p|Latias}}, depending on the game played, and {{p|Mew}} can be found in these puddles, awaiting capture.

==Generation IV==
Puddles are again common in rainy areas, such as {{rt|215|Sinnoh}}. In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, the player can battle various non-player characters while standing in this terrain. If {{m|Secret Power}} is used in battle here, it may cause the opponent to {{status|Sleep|fall asleep}}.

Similar to [[Generation III]], they appear with more prominence in the locations of legendary Pokémon.

===[[Lake guardians]]===
Strangely-shaped pools of water appear in all three caverns below the three lakes of Sinnoh, where the player first encounters {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}} and {{p|Azelf}}, known collectively as the Lake trio. What the shapes of the puddles mean, if they mean anything at all, is currently unknown.

Two circular, smaller puddles indicate where the other members of the trio are relative to the cavern, so that the two pools and the lake trio member make up a triangle, confirming each Pokémon's status as members of a group.

===Lunar duo===
Stylized puddles also appear on both [[Fullmoon Island]] and [[Newmoon Island]], the locations of {{p|Cresselia}} and {{p|Darkrai}} respectively. Cresselia is found at the center of a crescent moon-shaped pool, which is a brilliant, bright blue. Darkrai resides at the center of a dark, circular puddle, reminiscent of the new moon.
