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

Early in the story of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, 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 [[Starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] in Sinnoh after being attacked by {{p|Starly}}. Within the cave in the center of the lake resides the [[legendary Pokémon]], {{p|Mesprit}}.

In {{v2|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.

==Map information==

One of the lakes that is symbolic of the water-rich Sinnoh region. There is an odd legend associated with it. It is possible to enter the cave underneath the lake from the island in the middle.

[[Image:Lake_Verity.jpg|thumb|right|240px|Dawn and her Piplup at Lake Verity.]]

In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Lake Verity is extremely small compared to the games or the other lakes, resembling more of a large pond.

* After the battle between the player and the wild Starly in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, 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 {{ga|Dawn}}/{{ga|Lucas}} was originally. The square remains in {{game|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 [[elemental type]]. Lake Verity's TM is {{type2|Fire}}.

* Using the [[dual-slot mode|Dongle method]], {{p|Bibarel}} and {{p|Staravia}} can be found at level 4, although {{p|Bidoof}} and {{p|Starly}} don't evolve until they reach level 15 and Level 14, respectively.

==Name origin==

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

* '''Portuguese:''' ''Lago da Verdade''

* '''Spanish:''' ''Lago Veraz''

* '''Italian:''' ''Lago Verità''

* '''German:''' ''See der Wahrheit''

* '''Chinese:''' ''心齊湖''
