Pokémon World Locations

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

The player and his or her rival come here after watching reports of a red Gyarados on television in hopes of seeing something similarly amazing, early in the story of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. This is also where players will receive their first Pokémon in Sinnoh after being attacked by Starly. It is also where the legendary Pokémon, Mesprit lives.

Trivia

• After the battle between the player and the wild Starly, 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.

Name origin

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