Ruin Maniac Cave

The Ruin Maniac Cave (also known as the Maniac Tunnel) is a cave on the west side of Route 214. A Ruin Maniac is digging further into the cave, and the tunnel expands the more Unown forms you have seen in the Solaceon Ruins. At fewer than 10 Unown forms seen, only the entrance chamber is accessible. At 10 or more forms seen, the tunnel is longer with more Hippopotas encounters. At 26 or more forms seen, the full tunnel opens and connects to a chamber containing the "?" and "!" Unown forms.

Hippopotas is found exclusively in this cave (and the Grand Underground) in the early game. It evolves into Hippowdon at level 34 and is a strong Ground-type Sinnoh Pokémon. Pick up TM28 (Dig) near the cave entrance.
