Azelf in Valor Cavern

Lake Valor (Japanese: リッシこ Risshi Lake) is a location in the region of Sinnoh. Here, Team Galactic's Battle Commander Saturn is battled for the first time. Within the cave in the center of the lake resides the legendary Pokémon Azelf.

During the events of Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, Team Galactic used a Galactic Bomb to dry up the lake. The resulting earthquake was felt in Canalave City, located at the opposite end of Sinnoh. After Dialga, Palkia, or Giratina has been captured or defeated at Mt. Coronet, the lake will appear rejuvenated.

Items

• TM25 (Thunder): Surf required
• HP Up: Hidden, in the northwest of the area before the lake is restored. (Platinum only).

Trivia

• At each of Sinnoh's lakes, a TM can be found containing a powerful move of a different elemental type. Lake Valor's TM is Template:Type2.
• For some reason, the damage caused by Team Galactic's bomb is fixed when later returning to capture Azelf. Also, there appears to be the dried-up remains of a river that would flow into the lake on the northwest side that vanishes when the lake is restored.

Name origin

Valor means "courage". This is fitting, as Azelf is the Willpower Pokémon.
