Lake Verity (after Galactic intervention)

Where?

Just by your hometown, as you should remember from the beginning of the game if you're playing Diamond or Pearl. Go up from Twinleaf Town, turn left along Verity Lakefront, and then go up into the forest to Lake Verity. The grass here doesn't need you to Surf to get to it, luckily; it's at the southeastern bank of the lake, where you enter at.

How to read this table

The bolded horizontal headings stand for the main condition that affects the following slots; the big cells on the left side describe which circumstances must apply for the rows they span to be active. The percentages tell you the chance of a Pokémon from this slot (row) appearing for any given wild encounter, provided the condition on the left holds. Each condition (i.e. each bolded horizontal heading) always has the same number of slots actually active.

If all this confuses you, and I don't blame you, just set the conditions in the form above to what actually applies for you right now, which will hide all the inactive slots and leave only the Pokémon you're actually going to be seeing. This will also recalculate the statistics at the bottom of the table accordingly.
