Solaceon Ruins Guide
The Solaceon Ruins near Solaceon Town hold all 26 letter forms of Unown from A to Z, with the main hallway rooms laid out to spell F-R-I-E-N-D and the rest tucked into dead-end rooms. You only need to encounter all 26, not catch them. Doing so pushes the Ruin Maniac to finish digging the Maniac Tunnel on Route 214, which opens a chamber where the Unown ! and ? forms can be caught.
