Platinum Lake Acuity

Uxie, the spirit of knowledge, makes its home in this lake at Sinnoh's icy crown. Team Galactic storms the shore to seize it, and Commander Jupiter blocks you before you can step in.

Lake Acuity is in Sinnoh, with Acuity Lakefront to the south. In the story it comes after Snowpoint City and before Spear Pillar.

Pokemon Encounters

Uxie waits in the cave under the lake, a level 50 catch and the reason to come. The shore grass leans on Snover at 45 percent in daylight, with Sneasel and the occasional Teddiursa rounding out the cold-weather lineup.
