When you visit the lake for the first time, it will be dried up due to Team Galactic bombing it right after you beat Byron in Canalave City. Here, there are Team Galactic Grunt battles, unobtainable flopping Magikarp, and 1 one-time available HP Up.
Lake Valor will be filled up again after beating Team Galactic and dealing with either Dialga or Palkia at the Spear Pillar. This will also grant you access to the cavern in the middle of the lake where Azelf is located.

Visiting the lake after getting the 8th badge will let you surf on the lake and reach the cavern where Azelf is. Interact with it to start a battle and try catching it to complete your Sinnoh Dex!
After the Galactic Bomb is set off, Lake Valor will have all of its water drained. The vitamin HP Up can be obtained on the deepest accessible part of the area, near the Magikarp and a Team Galactic grunt.
