In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, a majority of Seals can be purchased at the [[Sunyshore Market]], where the selection changes daily. There are also 28 Seals (the {{wp|ISO basic Latin alphabet|26 letters of the Latin alphabet}}, an {{wp|exclamation mark}}, and a {{wp|question mark}}) that can be obtained by showing {{p|Unown}} to a boy in [[Solaceon Town]]. This can be repeated as often as needed – a new Unown is not needed each time. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, three Seals can be acquired each day from a girl in [[Olivine City]]. | In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, a majority of Seals can be purchased at the [[Sunyshore Market]], where the selection changes daily.
