Items

Item	Where
HP Up	North-west part of the drained lakebed beside the pile of Magikarp (missable) Hidden
TM25 (Thunder)	Right edge of the tall grass in the south-east part of the lake Needs Surf

Tips

• Grab the hidden HP Up next to the stranded Magikarp while the lake is drained - it is missable once the water returns.
• After the Spear Pillar events, Surf across the restored lake for TM25 (Thunder) and return to Valor Cavern to catch Azelf.
• Lickitung appears in swarms here and Wobbuffet with the Poké Radar.
• Two Scientists block the lake until you have visited Canalave Library with Professor Rowan.
• The Galactic Bomb blast here is felt as an earthquake in Canalave City.
• Commander Saturn is battled here for the first time.
