The ruins in Solaceon Town hold a special secret that you can’t find anywhere else in the Sinnoh region. They can be tricky to explore, but with these tips, you’ll know exactly what to do.

What To Bring With You To Solaceon Ruins

Before even heading to the ruins, you’ll want to stock up on plenty of Escape Ropes from the Pokemart. This is because the ruins can be pretty tricky to get out of since it contains so many different rooms and routes. Escape ropes will surely save you from getting a headache over this.

How To Get To Solaceon Ruins

You won’t notice where the ruins are unless you specifically know where to look. From the center of town, head north as if you were going to route 210, and then make a right in between where you see some trees and a house with a green roof. Follow the tree line and you will see three separate cliff sections to jump down into. You want to keep going right until you get to the last one. Jump down the cliffs south, and you will see the entrance to the ruins.

The main purpose of exploring the Ruins is to catch 26 versions of the Unown Pokemon. Since it is the same Pokemon, you can use repeat balls to make catching them easier. Inside, there are seven floors, with one version of the Unown being on each floor until you reach the bottom.

Where To Find The First Forms Of Unown

On the first floor, take the steps that are in the upper right-hand corner to a new room. Here you will find the F form Unown.

After catching it, move on through the steps in the lower left-hand corner of the room. You will find a room now with four sets of steps and one trainer in the middle. This room is where you will encounter the R form Unown.

After catching that one, take the steps in the upper right-hand corner of the room to a new room. This is where you will run into the I form Unown.

Once you’ve caught it, proceed through the steps at the upper left-hand corner. You will find the E form Unown in the new room.

After this, use the steps in the upper left-hand corner once more. In this new space, you will encounter the N form Unown.

After adding that one to your roster, use the steps in the bottom left-hand corner to go to the bottom room floor of the Ruins. You will find yourself in a large room with a panel on the front of the wall, similar to the one you saw on the first floor when you entered the Ruins. This is where you will find the D form Unown. You will also find a couple of valuable items to pick up.

Where To Find The Other Unown In Solaceon Ruins

Those six are the easiest versions to capture. To get to the rest of them, you need to go to a different place in the Ruins. Return to the top floor either via Escape Rope or manually. You’ll want to enter the room that’s in the upper left-hand corner this time. This is the place where you will encounter the other forms of Unown in a random format. You can use honey to make them appear faster.

Before you know it, you’ll have all 26 versions of Unown available in Solaceon Ruins!
