Lake Valor - Bulbapedia, The Community-driven Pokémon ...

History

According to Volo in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, there are two legends as to Lake Valor's origins. The first says it was formed from a volcano crater, as Lake Verity was, while the second says it was carved out in an ancient Pokémon battle.

In Pokémon: Legends: Arceus, the player travels to Lake Valor for Mission 15: "The Trial of Lake Valor". In it, the players fights an Alpha Overqwil and catches or defeats it. Azelf appears after and tests the player's will by having them throw balms at Azelf as it dodges every attempt. After showing their will to keep going, Azelf gives the player Azelf's Fang, one of the materials required to craft the Red Chain.

As part of Request 89: "The Diamond Clan's Treasure", the player battles Adaman of the Diamond Clan at Lake Valor, earning the Adamant Crystal from him after winning.

During the events of Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum and Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Team Galactic uses a Galactic Bomb to dry up the lake. The resulting earthquake is felt in Canalave City, located at the opposite side of Sinnoh. While dried-up, what appears to be the remains of a river that flows into the lake is located to the northwest of the lake. When the lake is restored, the remnants of the river disappear and are replaced by trees. While the lake is dried up, the cavern entrance is at the level of the lakebed, but while it is filled, the entrance is at the water level.

After DialgaDBD/PalkiaPSP/GiratinaPt has been dealt with at Spear PillarDPBDSP/the Distortion WorldPt, the lake will have been rejuvenated and can be Surfed on.
