*If a player does not have Unown's Pokédex data on a [[Generation II]] game when in Oak's lab in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Unown's Pokédex number is listed as {{p|Treecko|252}} instead of 201. This happens regardless of which Pokédex display mode is selected. | *If a player does not have Unown's Pokédex data on a [[Generation II]] game when in Oak's lab in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Unown's Pokédex number is listed as {{p|Treecko|252}} instead of 201.

*It has the smallest movepool of all Pokémon, learning only one move, {{m|Hidden Power}}, and being unable to learn any other moves through [[TM]]s, [[HM]]s, and [[Pokémon breeding]] (as it cannot breed). It shares this distinction with {{p|Ditto}} and {{p|Smeargle}}; however, they can potentially expand their movepools through the use of {{m|Transform}} and {{m|Sketch}}, respectively. | *It has the smallest movepool of all Pokémon, learning only one move, {{m|Hidden Power}}, and being unable to learn any other moves through [[TM]]s, [[HM]]s, and [[Pokémon breeding]] (as it cannot breed).

**Their power of warping reality is barely acknowledged in the games. Only the Pokédex data in {{game|Platinum}} even hints to their power, saying that "an odd power is said to emerge" when two or more are together. Nothing special occurs when two Unown are sent out side by side in a double battle, however. | **Their power of warping reality is barely acknowledged in the games.

*''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]'' states that the Unown communicate with each other using electromagnetic waves, specifically noting that they don't use telepathy. However, this is contradicted by [[DP060|a later episode]] as well as Unown's Pearl Pokédex entry. | *''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]'' states that the Unown communicate with each other using electromagnetic waves, specifically noting that they don't use telepathy.
