Items

Hidden items show up on the Dowsing Machine Pokétch app.

Tips

• Starly and Bidoof (Lv2–4) are the only grass Pokémon here, making it an easy place to fill early Pokédex entries.
• Surfing turns up Psyduck (90%) and Golduck (10%), and a Super Rod catches Gyarados (55%) or Seaking (45%).
• Wobbuffet can only be found here with the Poké Radar.
• TM38 Fire Blast is waiting in an item ball on the lake grounds.
• During the lake crisis you face four Galactic Grunts and then Commander Mars (Golbat, Bronzor and a Lv40 Purugly).
• Mesprit (Lv50) flees as soon as you meet it in Verity Cavern and starts roaming Sinnoh, so use the Marking Map Pokétch app to track it.
