Solaceon Ruins Pokemon

Get the F, R, I, E, N, and D Unown Forms in the Larger Rooms

Except for the Entrance Room, every room of the Solaceon Ruins is filled with Unown. As you descend through the Solaceon Ruins, you will find 6 larger rooms with multiple stairs leading to different rooms.

These large rooms, as well as the bottom-most large room with the four Pokeballs, will only hold one form of an Unown, each spelling out the word FRIEND respectively.

Get the Other Letters in the Smaller Rooms

Every other letter form of Unown can be randomly found in any of the smaller rooms. It will take some patience to get all of them, but it shouldn't take too long! Remember that you are free to access your Pokemon Boxes from your Party Menu in between battles to check which forms you have and don't have.

How to Access Pokemon Boxes on the Road

Reach the Upper Chamber by catching all 26 Letter Forms

After catching all 26 letter forms of Unown, the entire Ruin Maniac Tunnel, will be dug through.

This will give you access to a new chamber in Solaceon Ruins which is home to the ? and ! forms of Unown. These are the last two forms of Unown available for you to catch.
