Larger Ruins Room.png
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.

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.

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