* 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 252 instead of 201. This happens regardless of which Pokédex display mode is selected.

* Unown is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 336.

* Unown has the most officially recognized alternate [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]] of any Pokémon, with a total of 28.

* Unown is the only [[Generation II Pokémon]] that has [[List of Pokémon that do not appear in any regional Browser|not been featured]] in a Ranger series game.

* Despite Unown being able to use [[TM10]] in [[Generation VI]], it still cannot do so legitimately because it will always already know {{m|Hidden Power}}.

* Unown is the only Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] (that is not a {{pkmn2|Legendary}} or [[Mythical Pokémon]]) not used by any Trainer in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.

===Origin===

Their appearances are corruptions of the modern {{wp|Latin alphabet}}, as well as the exclamation mark (!) and the question mark (?), and the G form of Unown is based on a double-story lower case {{wp|G}}. The shapes of the Unown are used like graphic symbols in the Pokémon world, although in [[Hoenn]] and the [[Sevii Islands]], their place is taken by {{wp|Braille}}.

Unown is a corruption of ''unknown''.
