Lake Acuity is the northernmost of the three lakes, surrounded by snow. Barry went there alone to protect Uxie. By the time you arrive, it is already too late.

🌌Jupiter and Uxie

On the shore, Barry is barely getting back up: Commander Jupiter has just beaten him, and Team Galactic has captured Uxie, the lake’s guardian. Jupiter taunts you: if you want to see the three guardians again, come to the Team Galactic headquarters in Veilstone City.

Dejected, Barry vows to become stronger. The three lake Pokémon are now in Cyrus’s hands. It is time to go on the offensive.
