Unown is a flat, thin {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} shaped like an eye with appendages that make it resemble a letter or a punctuation mark. It is entirely black, except for its white sclerae. All 26 alphabetic forms of Unown have fully open eyes, while the two punctuation forms have half-closed eyes. Though each of its forms has a counterpart in the Latin alphabet, Unown is said to resemble ancient writing and hieroglyphs. It is a mystery whether Unown predates or postdates written language, and therefore which one is based on the other. Unown can move its appendages independently like tentacles or fingers. | Unown is a flat, thin {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} shaped like an eye with appendages that make it resemble a letter or a punctuation mark.

[[File:Unown anime.png|thumb|250px|Unown in the {{pkmn|anime}}]] | |||
===Major appearances=== | |||
====[[Unown (M03)]]==== | |||
Unown played a large role in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', creating the illusions that drive the plot. | |||
Notes about Unown can be seen on {{an|Professor Oak}}'s computer at the beginning of the movie. The information (as presented in the Japanese version) has been cleaned up and transcribed here: | |||
* Because of their very timid and careful character, Unown do not want to go out to the external world. | |||
* Unown have the power to perceive the feelings of other creatures (including human beings). | |||
* Unown communicate with each other over electromagnetic waves but cannot use telepathy. | |||
* Given all this, Unown are still classified as a species of Pokémon, as opposed to any other sort of creature. | |||

===Pokémon Adventures=== | |||
===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}==== | |||
Unown first appeared in ''[[PS100|Into the Unown]]'' at the [[Ruins of Alph]]. During a battle with the [[Team Rocket Elite Trio]], {{adv|Gold}} had his {{p|Sunkern|Sunbo}} use {{m|Flash}}, accidentally awakening the Unown from their slumber. Angered, the Unown retaliated on [[Team Rocket]], defeating them. | |||
[[Bugsy]] later returned to study the ruins further in ''[[PS134|Hurray for Heracross]]'', where he {{pkmn2|caught}} an Unown G and gave it to one of his colleagues. Later, as he searched for {{DL|Legendary beasts (Adventures)|Suicune}}, he found two chambers with Unown markings. Using his device to translate them, they read the following. | |||
{| style="background: #{{psychic color light}}; {{roundy|1em}}; border: 5px solid #{{psychic color}};" | |||

Three Unown appeared in a flashback in ''[[PS139|Raising Raichu]]'', being the N, G, and U forms. | |||
===={{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}==== | |||
In ''[[PS280|Some Things Are Better Left Unown]]'', [[Sird]] gained control of a small army of Unown after awakening them in the [[Tanoby Ruins]]. She initially used them as a distraction against [[Lorelei]], allowing her to defeat the [[Elite Four]] member. Sird later used them to impede the progress of {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Blue}}, and {{adv|Green}} as they headed to the [[Trainer Tower]], but they were defeated by {{adv|Mewtwo}}. Also, two Unown of the ! and ? forms followed {{adv|Giovanni}} to [[Birth Island]] to relay his successful capture of {{adv|Deoxys}} back to the [[Rocket Warehouse|Team Rocket Warehouse]]. | |||
===={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}==== | |||
In ''[[PS384|Knowledge of the Unown I]]'', a D and P Unown befriended {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} in [[Solaceon Town]]. The two enlisted the help of the Pokédex holders to free their friends from a chamber in the [[Solaceon Ruins]]. Later, they helped to defeat the {{tc|Team Galactic Grunt}} blocking Pearl's path to [[Veilstone City]]. | |||

===={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}==== | |||
In ''[[PS455|All About Arceus IV]]'', a massive group of Unown were spawned at the [[Sinjoh Ruins]] when {{adv|Arceus}} created {{DL|Pokémon of Myth (Adventures)|Dialga}}, {{DL|Pokémon of Myth (Adventures)|Palkia}}, and {{DL|Pokémon of Myth (Adventures)|Giratina}}. | |||

Multiple Unown appeared in all of the species' forms in ''[[PM072|Rampage at the Ruins of Alph!!]]''. | |||
==In the TCG== | |||
{{main|Unown (TCG)}} | |||
The English [[Pokédex]] data for Unown cards in the {{TCG|Neo Destiny}} expansion say that it is believed that the variety of types of Unown is a result of {{wp|adaptation|evolutionary adaptation}}, but this is not present in the original Japanese text. | |||
==Other appearances== | |||
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]=== | |||
When one Unown is released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}, it will fly off the screen. It then returns with a large swarm, similar to what {{p|Beedrill}} did in the original [[Super Smash Bros.]] The only difference is that Beedrill only attacks from left or right while Unown can come from any direction. Any opponent caught in this barrage is damaged and juggled. | |||
There are also a number of Unown Poké Floats featured in the [[Poké Floats]] stage. In the second half of the stage's cycle, numerous Unown fly across the screen. Towards the end of the cycle, staying on the stage relies on hopping between the Unown. | |||
====Trophy information==== | |||
''These Psychic-type symbol Pokémon resemble ancient hieroglyphics found on rocks, a resemblance that's said to be more than superficial. Quite a few different shapes of Unown have been confirmed, and it's believed that each type has unique abilities. These enigmatic Pokémon can be found in the [[Ruins of Alph]].'' | |||
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]=== | |||
Unown does not return as a Poké Ball Pokémon, though it is a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}, appearing in its F form. | |||
