Ruins of Alph
The grounds where the Ruins of Alph are located can be reached from Route 32 to the east and Route 36 to the north. There are four interior chambers. Each chamber holds a puzzle in which tiles must be arranged to show the image of a specific Pokémon species. Completing each puzzle causes a series of Unown forms to begin appearing in the large hall beneath the complex. The mysterious Pokémon species appears in many different forms that all resemble letters of the alphabet. Unown's encounter rate is evenly divided among all unlocked forms.
Each chamber also features a message in Unown script on the rear wall. Deciphering this message and using the correct item or field move reveals a doorway to hidden room filled with items.

North chamber
The north chamber is the only one accessible at first. Examine the text on the rear wall to find a single word: ESCAPE. Using an Escape Rope here reveals a hidden doorway. The room behind holds an Oran Berry, Pecha Berry, Heal Powder, and an EnergyPowder. Dropping down through the hole at the back wall leads to a hidden room above the underground hall, where a message in Unown script can be found on the floor:
Our clan engraved words in this place
In the entry room, a bit of text beside the puzzle hints at the Pokémon's identity. Move the tiles to their proper place to reveal the Pokémon's image and complete the puzzle. Doing so causes the floor to fall away, dropping you into the underground hall where the first ten forms of Unown have awakened. This draws the attention of a researcher, who notices your talent for archaeology and gives you the Unown Report. This device records the limited data available on each of the Unown forms.
Puzzle | Hint | Pokémon | Unown Forms Unlocked | |
---|---|---|---|---|
#1 (North) |
This Pokémon hides on the seafloor and watches the shore with eyes on its back. | Kabuto | | |
#2 (Southeast) |
This Pokémon knew no fear and flew as it pleased through the skies long ago. | Aerodactyl | ||
#3 (West) |
This Pokémon, with feathers of seven colors, flies through the sky, according to legend. | Ho-Oh | ||
#4 (Southwest) |
A ten-legged Pokémon that swims on the bottom of the sea and eats plankton. | Omanyte | ||
Southeast chamber
The southeast chamber can be accessed after obtaining HM03 (Surf). Examine the text on the rear wall to find a single word: LIGHT. Using the move Flash here will reveal another hidden doorway. The room behind holds a Sitrus Berry, Moon Stone, Heal Powder, and an Energy Root. Dropping down through the hole at the back wall leads to a second hidden room above the underground hall, where another message in Unown script can be found on the floor:
Our clan created Pokémon statue outside
In the entry room, move the tiles to reveal an image of Aerodactyl, and the floor falls away. Completing this puzzle causes five more Unown forms to appear in the underground hall.
West chamber
The western chamber can only be accessed through Union Cave, after obtaining HM03 (Surf). Examine the text on the rear wall to find a single word: HO OH. Positioning a Ho-Oh in the first party slot will reveal another hidden doorway. The room behind holds a Life Orb, Leppa Berry, Revival Herb, and a Charcoal. Dropping down through the hole at the back wall leads to a third hidden room above the underground hall, where another message in Unown script can be found on the floor:
We humans need to walk with them
WE LEAVE HERE FOR THE SAKE OF THEM
We leave here for the sake of them
In the entry room, move the tiles to reveal an image of Ho-Oh, and the floor falls away. Completing this puzzle causes four more Unown forms to appear.
Southwest chamber
The southwest chamber can only be accessed through Union Cave, after obtaining HM03 (Surf) and HM04 (Strength). Examine the text on the rear wall to find a single word: WATER. Attempting to use a Water Stone here will reveal another hidden doorway. The room behind holds a Leppa Berry, Mystic Water, Stardust, and a Star Piece. Dropping down through the hole at the back wall leads to another hidden room above the underground hall, where a final message in Unown script can be found on the floor:
They possess power to sense with mind and reject outside
In the entry room, move the tiles to reveal an image of Omanyte, and the floor falls away. Completing this puzzle causes the final seven Unown forms to appear.
Scheming for SlowpokeTails
As you approach the southern end of the route, you see a shady man loitering around to the west of the Pokémon Center. If spoken to, he tries to sell you a "tasty, nutritious SlowpokeTail" for the special price of $1,000,000. When he realizes that you do not have the cash, he shooes you away.
Fishing Guru 1
Visit the Pokémon Center to rest your weary team and prepare for the upcoming cave. Speak to the Fisherman near the counter to receive an Old Rod. With this fishing rod, you can now cast your line at any body of water to reel in Water-type Pokémon. The Old Rod is a low-end model, and is often only able to hook Magikarp.
Union Cave
Union Cave is a small cave on the southern end of Johto's peninsula, located between Routes 32 and 33. The ground-level tunnel simply connects the two routes together. Seawater wells up from underground in several areas, initially blocking access to the deepest parts of the cave. Exploring the lower levels at a later point reveals two more exits that lead back to the Ruins of Alph.
