every Unown location in Pokemon Legends: Arceus

Finding the location of every Unown in Pokémon Legends: Arceus can be very difficult. But we can help.

There are a few different collection quests in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Alongside the 107 wisps and the general goal of catching ‘em all, players need to complete the Unown alphabet. The sole users of Hidden Power are scattered across all six of the main regions of Pokémon Legends: Arceus, with many of the Unown’s locations being tough to spot. While wisps glow brightly and can be spotted from a distance, players need to get up close with Unowns.

The good news is that while there are 107 wisps, there are just 28 Unowns. Players can easily track which ones they have and which ones they don’t through an index of the Pokedex. While this teases the location of each Unown in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, the directions are vague and difficult to read.

The good news is that it’s not hard to track them down with a proper guide. Here’s the location of every Unown in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

Can you get alpha or shiny Unowns in Pokémon Legends: Arceus?

Yes, Unowns can be found in both shiny and alpha varieties.

The Unowns listed above won’t ever be shiny, but there’s another location where players can catch them in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. After catching all 28 Unowns listed above, the Solaceon Ruins will become filled with wild Unowns. Several random letters spawn at the start of each day-night cycle.

Solaceon Ruins Unowns being shown. every Unown location in Pokemon Legends: Arceus — Unowns start appearing in the Solaceon Ruins after collecting all 28.

These Unowns can be shiny, alpha, or both. The one drawback is that players have no control over which letters will spawn, meaning the only way to do this is to either kill all the Unown and rest until the start of the next day-night cycle, or reload the area entirely.

It should theoretically only take a few tries to get a specific letter to spawn. Getting an alpha or shiny version of a specific letter is almost mathematically impossible. A mass outbreak of Unowns is theoretically possible, but there isn’t a documented case of this happening as of yet.

What’s the reward for collecting every Unown in Pokémon Legends: Arceus?

The reward for collecting all 28 Unowns is a completed Pokedex entry and regular spawns in the Solaceon Ruins.

While this doesn’t sound like much, the completed Pokedex entry is important for any player looking to complete the game and catch the game’s namesake.
