The Solaceon Ruins (Japanese: ズイの遺跡 Zui Ruins) is the set of ruins where the player can find the Unown in Sinnoh. It is found east of Solaceon Town. If the player captures an Unown, then shows it to a boy in the town, the Seal corresponding to its letter will become available.

Geography

 
Solaceon Ruins exterior in Diamond and Pearl

This map is the same in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl and Platinum versions.

The first room has a plaque/inscription in the Unown alphabet that indicates which exits to take to get to the last room. It reads:

Unown Text
TOP RIGHT Top right
LOWER LEFT Lower left
TOP RIGHT Top right
TOP LEFT Top left
TOP LEFT Top left
LOWER LEFT Lower left

The second room has only Unown of the "F" variety, the third has "R" and so on, spelling out the word "friend". The dead-end rooms (reached by not following the Unown alphabet instructions) house the other twenty varieties of Unown. The last room holds four items and an inscription written in Unown script. In Pokémon Platinum one of the items is HM05 (Defog). The writing reads as follows:

Unown Text
FRIENDSHIP Friendship
ALL LIVES All lives
TOUCH OTHER touch other
LIVES TO CREATE lives to create
SOMETHING something
ANEW AND ALIVE anew and alive

The Japanese version of this writing is the same featured in Top-Down Training! and in Journey to the Unown!.

The room above the rest of the ruins, only accessible after the Ruin Maniac has finished digging the Maniac Tunnel through from Route 214 (which occurs after obtaining one of each alphabetic Unown), has both "!" and "?" varieties. The inscription in there reads:

Unown Text
?! ?!

Solaceon Ruins in the anime

The Solaceon Ruins featured in Journey to the Unown!. Here, they appeared as an actual building rather than a cave, as a temple dedicated to Dialga and Palkia. In an inner chamber, the Unown guarded a cube that was eventually stolen by Saturn of Team Galactic. After stealing the cube, he ordered his Bronzor to use Confuse Ray on all the Unown, causing them to become confused and attack Team Rocket, as well as Ash and his friends. The cube was later revealed to be the Spear Key in Enter Galactic!. This is also the place where Dawn's Aipom learned Double Hit and evolved into Ambipom.

In the manga

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

The ruins are featured in Knowledge of the Unown I and Knowledge of the Unown II and are the main setting of the latter one. Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum encountered two Unown, later named by Platinum as Grumpy and Flaky, who led them into the ruins. The main trio helped the Unown free their friends who had been trapped.
