Where to Find Unown in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl

Pokemon has a long history of containing joke or gimmick Pokemon. Essentially, new additions to the Pokedex that aren’t really meant to be taken seriously as a battle partner but instead are meant to be cute, funny, or just show off a new feature. In the case of Unown, back in Gen II when it first debuted, it was just tied to the story as a living relic of sorts that would stick to walls and tell a story. It really doesn’t do anything other than that but regardless, the completionists are still wondering where to find Unown in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Here’s what you need to know.
