==History==
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. While dried-up, what appears to be the remains of a river that flows into the lake is located to the northwest of the lake. When the lake is restored, the remnants of the river disappear and are replaced by trees. While the lake is dried, the cavern entrance is at the level of the lakebed, but while it is filled the entrance is at the water level.
 
After {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, or {{p|Giratina}} has been captured or defeated at [[Mt. Coronet]], the lake will appear rejuvenated and can be {{m|Surf}}ed on.

In ''[[DP151|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 {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Mesprit}} and {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Uxie}} when their comrade was captured. She was challenged by {{Gary}}, who was working with [[Professor Rowan]], but [[Saturn's Toxicroak]] quickly took care of his {{TP|Gary|Umbreon}} and {{TP|Gary|Electivire}}.

* At each of Sinnoh's lakes, a [[TM]] can be found containing a powerful move of a different [[type]]. Lake Valor's TM is the {{type|Electric}} {{TM|25|Thunder}}.

* 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, the blast is powerful enough to be felt in [[Canalave City]] on the other side of Sinnoh, but there is no damage to the Magikarp living in the lake or the surrounding area, besides the obvious crater and disappearance of 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 either makes the water disappear or repels it and forcibly pulls Azelf out of hiding.
* Lake Valor is the only [[Sinnoh]] lake that is not entered from the south.

*When the lake is dried, the cavern seems to sink down to the bottom.
