Mission 21: The Plate of the Lakes

Mission 21, "The Plate of the Lakes," is a significant quest that brings you closer to understanding the true nature of the celestial phenomenon plaguing Hisui. This mission involves venturing to the three major lakes of the Sinnoh region, each guarded by a legendary Pokémon. Your goal is to obtain the Plates associated with these lakes, which are crucial for unlocking the secrets of Arceus itself. Prepare for a journey of discovery and powerful encounters.

Following the events of Mission 20, you will be tasked with a grand undertaking: to collect the three Plates that are said to be hidden at the sacred lakes of Hisui. These lakes—Lake Verity, Lake Acuity, and Lake Valor—are home to legendary Pokémon that have protected them for ages. Commander Kamado believes that these Plates hold the key to understanding and potentially stopping the rifts in space-time. This mission will require you to travel to each lake, overcome the guardian Pokémon, and retrieve the respective Plate. Each encounter is a test of your strength and research prowess.

The Three Sacred Lakes:

Your journey will take you to three distinct locations:

  • Lake Verity (Obsidian Fieldlands): This is the first lake you'll likely visit, located in the Obsidian Fieldlands. It is guarded by the legendary Pokémon Uxie.
  • Lake Acuity (Alabaster Icelands): Situated in the snowy Alabaster Icelands, this lake is protected by Mesprit.
  • Lake Valor (Crimson Mirelands): The final lake is in the Crimson Mirelands and is watched over by Azelf.

Strategy for Each Lake:

For each lake, you will need to approach the guardian Pokémon and engage in a battle. The strategy for each encounter is similar, but the Pokémon themselves have different strengths and weaknesses.

  1. Reaching the Lakes: Travel to each lake location. You may need to use your Pokémon mounts to traverse the terrain efficiently.
  2. Encountering the Guardian: Upon reaching the center of each lake, you will be confronted by the legendary Pokémon (Uxie, Mesprit, or Azelf).
  3. Battle Preparation: These are powerful Psychic-type Pokémon. Ensure your team has strong Dark, Ghost, or Bug-type Pokémon to exploit their weaknesses. Avoid Pokémon weak to Psychic-type attacks.
  4. The Battle: Engage the legendary Pokémon in battle. They are high-level and will use potent Psychic-type moves. Focus on dealing consistent damage and managing your Pokémon's HP.
  5. Catching the Pokémon: After defeating the guardian Pokémon in the story battle, you will have the opportunity to catch it. Weaken it significantly, then use your best Poké Balls (Ultra Balls, Gigaton Balls, or Primeape Balls). Status conditions like Paralysis or Sleep can be very helpful.
  6. Retrieving the Plate: Once you have successfully caught the Pokémon, you will be able to retrieve the corresponding Plate (Lake Verity Plate, Lake Acuity Plate, or Lake Valor Plate).

Progression:

After collecting all three Plates from the lakes, you will need to return to Commander Kamado in Jubilife Village. He will then instruct you on the next steps, which will involve using these Plates to further your investigation into the celestial phenomenon and the legendary Pokémon Arceus. This mission is a crucial step towards the endgame and understanding the full scope of the crisis facing Hisui.
