Appendix:Legends: Arceus walkthrough/Unown Locations
This is an in-depth walkthrough on how to complete the Unown Research Notes in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. For other parts of the walkthrough, see the table of contents.
Obtaining the Unown Research Notes
To obtain the Unown Research notes, the player needs to start Mission 7: Arezu's Predicament. After going to the Crimson Mirelands, and returning the missing slab to the Solaceon Ruins, when the player returns to any base camp, Professor Laventon will notice something stuck to the player's back. It turns out to be an Unown. Professor Laventon will then add a new section to the player's Pokédex specifically for recording different forms of Unown: the Unown Research Notes. They can be accessed by pressing the 'Y' button after opening the Pokédex. 26 different forms of Unown will now start spawning at various points across Hisui. They cannot be battled and need to be caught by throwing Poké Balls directly. The Unown Research Notes contain hints to the location of the Unown, written in Unown symbols. After the player has caught all 28 Unown forms across Hisui, Unown will now start spawning inside the Solaceon Ruins, including Shiny and Alpha variants.
The sections below explain the location of each form in detail. The list is ordered in the order of locations the player accesses, then with Unown forms in alphabetical order.
