Read more ↓Unown are enigmatic Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II, known for their resemblance to the letters of the alphabet and punctuation marks. Each Unown form corresponds to a different character, and there are 28 distinct forms in total, including the letters A-Z and the exclamation mark and question mark. They are typically found in ancient ruins or dimensions, often appearing in groups. Their diet and behavior are largely unknown, adding to their mysterious aura; they seem to exist primarily to observe and perhaps influence events. In the games, they are often tied to ancient lore and puzzles, with their presence sometimes unlocking hidden areas or revealing secrets. In the anime, Unown are depicted as powerful entities capable of warping reality, most notably in “Pokémon 3: The Movie – Spell of the Unown,” where a young girl’s wishes manifest through their collective power. Their unique nature means they do not evolve, nor do they have a clear evolutionary line. Type matchups for a Psychic-type would include weakness to Bug, Ghost, and Dark, and resistance to Fighting and Psychic (though this can vary by game generation). Unown represent the mysteries of the Pokémon world and have a significant cultural impact as symbols of ancient knowledge and the unknown.
