Platinum Acuity Lakefront

Team Galactic grunts choke the trail up to Lake Acuity, holding the line while their crew goes after Uxie at the top. Shove past them and the frozen lake opens up ahead.

Acuity Lakefront is in Sinnoh, with Lake Acuity to the north. In the story you arrive from Route 217 to the south and continue north to Snowpoint City.

Ice-types blanket this snowfield approach to Snowpoint. Snover leads the grass at 40 percent in daylight, with Swinub close behind, while Sneasel shifts from a 15 percent night spawn to 25 percent by day. Ursaring at 8 percent is the bruiser to hold out for.
