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.

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 will return you to the entrance while also revealing a hidden doorway. The room behind holds a Berry, PSNCureBerry, 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:

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 eleven forms of Unown have awakened.

Catch at least three different forms, and a Scientist investigating the ruins will approach you upon exiting the hall. He leads you to a nearby research facility and upgrades your Pokédex with its Unown Mode, allowing it to record the limited data available on each of the Unown forms.

Puzzle	Hint	Pokémon		Unown Forms Unlocked
#1 (North)	A Pokémon that hid on the sea floor. Eyes on its back scanned the area.		Kabuto
#2 (Southeast)	This flying Pokémon attacked its prey with saw-like fangs.		Aerodactyl
#3 (West)	A Pokémon that flew gracefully on rainbow-colored wings.		Ho-Oh
#4 (Southwest)	This Pokémon drifted in the sea by twisting its ten tentacles.		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 Heal Powder, Energy Root, Gold Berry, and a Moon Stone. 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:

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) and HM04 (Strength). Examine the text on the rear wall to find a single word: HOOH. Positioning a Ho-Oh in the first party slot will reveal another hidden doorway. The room behind holds a Stardust, Star Piece, MysteryBerry, and a Mystic Water. 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:

In the entry room, move the tiles to reveal an image of Ho-Oh, and the floor falls away. Completing this puzzle causes three more Unown forms to appear.

Southwest chamber

The southwest chamber can only be accessed through Union Cave, after obtaining HM03 (Surf). 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 Revival Herb, Charcoal, Gold Berry, and a MysteryBerry. Dropping down through the hole at the back wall leads to a fourth hidden room above the underground hall, where a final message in Unown script can be found on the floor:

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.

Unown's encounter rate is divided among all unlocked forms. Once all forms have been unlocked, most will have an encounter rate of 3.9%. Due to the method used to determine its form, Unown Z will always be slightly less common than the others, at 2.3%.

Quick! It's Qwilfish!

Halfway through the route, there is a pier with three Fishermen. Once you defeat Fisher Ralph, be sure to trade phone numbers with him. He will call occasionally to alert you about a swarm of a certain Pokémon species. Qwilfish are usually difficult to find, but will be more likely to appear along Route 32 for a short time. The swarm only lasts until midnight, so be quick!

Scheming for SlowpokeTails

As you approach the southern end of the route, you are stopped by a shady man to the west of the Pokémon Center. 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 shoos 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, 1F

Union Cave, B1F

Union Cave, B2F

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.
