''' Lake Valor''' (Japanese: '''リッシこ''' ''Risshi Lake'') is a location in the [[region]] of [[Sinnoh]]. Here, [[Team Galactic]]'s Commander [[Saturn]] is battled for the first time. Within the cave in the center of the lake resides the [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Azelf}}.
During the events of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, Team Galactic used a Galactic Bomb to dry up the lake. The resulting earthquake was felt in [[Canalave City]], located at the opposite end of Sinnoh. After {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, or {{p|Giratina}} has been captured or defeated at [[Mt. Coronet]], the lake will appear rejuvenated.

==Trivia==
* At each of Sinnoh's lakes, a [[TM]] can be found containing a powerful move of a different [[type]]. Lake Valor's TM is {{type|Electric}}.
* For some reason, the damage caused by [[Team Galactic]]'s bomb is fixed when later returning.
* There appears to be the dried-up remains of a river that would flow into the lake on the northwest side that vanishes when the lake is restored.  However, it is also possible that the bomb was detonated in the upper left corner of the lake, and consequently blew away the land in this area. 
* When the bomb is set off here, it is powerful enough to be felt on the opposite end of the region, in [[Canalave City]]. Despite this, the Magikarp living in the lake are unharmed and no damage is visible to the surrounding land, besides the obvious crater and disappearance of the water.
* The Galactic Bomb in the anime functions differently from its counterpart in the games. Instead of a violent detonation that destroys the landscape and drains Lake Valor, it creates a spatial anomaly that causes the water to disappear or be repulsed from it and forcibly pulls Azelf out of hiding.
* Lake Valor is the only [[Sinnoh]] lake that is not entered from the south.
==Name origin==
Valor means "courage". This is fitting, as {{p|Azelf}} is the Willpower Pokémon.

Lake Valor in the anime

Lake Valor was the location of the Wallace Cup tournament and the Sinnoh Grand Festival. Like the games, the Hotel Grand Lake and Seven Stars Restaurant were located nearby, and Ash, Dawn, Brock, and May all battled at the restaurant.

In Pruning a Passel of Pals!,Ash decides to go for a walk with Pikachu after falling from his bed. At the lake,he had a brief encounter with the projected soul of Azelf,similar to Dawn's and Brock's encounter with Mesprit and Uxie respectively.

In The Needs of the Three!, it was explained that Lake Valor, as well as all three of Sinnoh's lakes, are the entrances to another world where the lake guardians live, and they do not actually live in the lakes themselves.

In the same episode, Pokémon Hunter J dropped the Galactic Bomb, bringing out Azelf from its home and drawing out Mesprit and Uxie when their comrade was captured. She was challenged by Gary, who was working with Professor Rowan, but Saturn's Toxicroak quickly beat his Umbreon and Electivire.
