These mysterious creatures are said to reside in another dimension and manifest in the Pokémon world as ancient hieroglyphs, often found in ruins or places of historical significance, such as the Alph Ruins in the Johto region. Their unique characteristic is their ability to communicate through telepathy, forming words and phrases when multiple Unown are present. Unlike most Pokémon, Unown do not evolve from or into any other species, maintaining their singular form. In the games, they are primarily sought after by collectors due to their numerous forms, with 28 distinct variations representing each letter of the Latin alphabet plus an exclamation mark and a question mark. In the anime, Unown played a pivotal role in the third Pokémon movie, "Spell of the Unown: Entei," where their collective psychic power granted a young girl's wishes, altering reality around her. Their existence raises questions about language, reality, and the ancient history of the Pokémon world, making them fascinating subjects for lore enthusiasts and a unique challenge for those aiming to "catch 'em all."
