Location of Lake Verity in Sinnoh.
Pokémon world locations

Lake Verity (Japanese: シンジこ Shinji Lake) is a location in the region of Sinnoh.

The lake, along with Lake Valor and Lake Acuity, is tied to the myth of the creation of the Pokémon world, specifically the creation of spirit.

The lake is home to Mesprit, the guardian of the lake and the Being of Emotion.

Early in the story of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, the player and their rival come here after watching reports of a Red Gyarados on television in hopes of seeing something similarly amazing. This is also where the player will receive their first Pokémon in Sinnoh after being attacked by Starly. Within the cave in the center of the lake resides the legendary Pokémon, Mesprit.

In Platinum, instead, the player and rival meet Cyrus for the first time.

Halfway through the story, Mars of Team Galactic raids the lake and captures Mesprit.

In the anime

Lake Verity in the anime

Lake Verity was briefly visited by Dawn and Piplup in Following A Maiden's Voyage! At the lake they briefly encountered the projected soul of Mesprit.

In Strategy Begins at Home!, Team Rocket fish in the lake looking for Goldeen for the Goldeen Scoop booth at the Twinleaf Festival.

In The Needs of Three! a pink whirlpool appeared in the lake due to Pokémon Hunter J dropping the Galactic Bomb into Lake Valor. From this portal emerged Mesprit, who quickly teleported away to Lake Valor. This was witnessed by Professor Rowan and his aides.

Also in The Needs of the Three!, it was explained that Lake Verity, and indeed all three of Sinnoh's lakes, are the entrances to another world where the Lake Trio lives, and they do not actually live in the lakes themselves.

In the manga

Lake Verity in Pokémon Adventures
Lake Verity in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

When he was little, Diamond got lost by the lake while trying to find a Red Gyarados with Pearl. He suddenly noticed a mysterious glow over the lake and passed out, later to be found by Pearl and Pearl's father.

After Diamond, Pearl and Platinum decide to split up in order to stop Team Galactic, Diamond heads towards Lake Verity, where Team Galactic captures Mesprit in Mixing It Up with Machamp.

In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga

Lake Verity was first visited in In Search of the Legendary Pokémon Dialga!! while Mitsumi was on her bike.

In Team Galactic's Ultimate Warrior, Cyrus and Team Galactic went there to take Mesprit, completing the collection of the Lake guardians, and then went to their headquarters.

Trivia

  • After the battle between the player and the wild Starly in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, a square of tall grass can be seen to have disappeared when the player and his/her friend walk out of the tall grass. It is where the briefcase which was taken away by Dawn/Lucas was originally. The square remains in Pokémon Platinum even though the same event did not occur in the game.
  • At each of Sinnoh's lakes, a TM can be found containing a powerful move of a different type. Lake Verity's TM is the Fire-type TM38 (Fire Blast).
  • Using the Dongle method, Bibarel and Staravia can be found at level 4, although Bidoof and Starly don't evolve until they reach level 15 and level 14, respectively.
  • Lake Verity's Japanese name shares the same Japanese name of Paul.
  • In the anime Lake Verity is much smaller than its game counterpart and the other lakes in anime, resembling more of a large pond.
  • The battle against Starly is impossible to lose as it will flee when player's starter is low on HP.
  • At the beginning of the game, the water level is too low to surf. After the events of Lake Valor, the water level rises due to Mesprit coming out of hiding, allowing the player to surf.

Name origin

Verity means "truth". This is related to Mesprit's status as the Emotion Pokémon, as the truth often conveys strong emotions.

Shinji may be taken from 心事 shinji (mind) or 真実 shinjitsu (truth).
