Unown ZSecret Wonders #72 Pokémon Card

Unown is a enigmatic Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II. Known for its resemblance to various letters of the alphabet and punctuation marks, Unown exists in 28 distinct forms, each subtly different, with this card depicting the 'Z' form. Unown are typically found in ancient ruins or dimensions, often appearing in large groups, and are believed to be connected to an ancient language. Their natural habitat is often depicted as mysterious and isolated, such as the Solaceon Ruins in the Sinnoh region or the Alph Ruins in Johto, places where they are said to have resided for millennia. Unown do not have a known diet in the traditional sense, as their existence seems to be more tied to dimensional energy or psychic phenomena rather than sustenance. Their behavior is largely passive, often observed floating aimlessly or forming patterns. They do not evolve from or into any other Pokémon, making them a unique standalone species. In the games, Unown are often part of side quests involving collecting all their forms, and their lore frequently ties into ancient civilizations and mysterious powers. In the anime, they are most famously featured in "Spell of the Unown: Entei," where their collective psychic power creates an illusionary world. Unown's cultural significance lies in its mystery and its representation of language itself, appealing to those interested in the more esoteric aspects of the Pokémon world.
