There are two caves, go in to the smaller one at the top. Inside is a puzzle. Move bits by pressing A, then use the direction arrows to move them. This puzzle is of Kabuto. If you do it correctly, you will fall through the floor, and land in the bigger cave. If this does not happen, try swapping the two middle, bottom bits. They look practically identical! When you land in the big cave, Unowns attack. These Pokemon are vaguely letter shaped. If you catch three, when you go outside a scientist will meet you and take you to his lab. He modifies your Pokedex to store Unown data. In the regular Pokedex, you only get a single entry for the Unown. The special Unown data is accessible by opening the Pokedex, and pressing the Select key to choose Options. One option is Unown Mode. In here, there is a record of all your Unown. There are 26 altogether. There are four puzzles, all accessible from different places. When you have SURF, you can surf the pond to access an Aerodactyl puzzle. Go to the Union Cave, climb a ladder about halfway through, to the left, then SURF across the pool. Go to the top left corner and use the exit to get to the Ho-oh puzzle. You'll drop through to the Unown place again. Go into the cave again, the same way, but don't go so far toward the back of the cave.
