What do the attacks on Unown ? cost, and what do they hit for?

Every attack printed on the card, with the Energy it asks for.

Hidden Power1 Colorless1Choose a card from your hand and put it face down. Your opponent guesses if the card is a Pokémon, Trainer, or Energy card. Reveal the card. If your opponent guessed wrong, draw 2 cards. Put the card back into your hand.

Retreating costs a further 1 Energy, discarded from this card, and that cost is paid on top of anything in the table.

Hidden Power1 Energy card

The Energy this attack asks a deck to attach before it can be used, drawn as the symbols printed on the card.

One Energy card attaches per turn, so the number of symbols is also the number of turns the attack waits.

What Unown ? does without attacking

Unown ? carries 1 printed effect that work outside the attack step, so it can matter on a turn the card never attacks.

Printed effects
1
Capped at once a turn
1 of 1
Read from the printed text quoted below, not counted anywhere else.
Shuffle — Poké-Power · once a turn
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may search your deck for another Unown and switch it with Unown. (Any cards attached to Unown, damage counters, Special Conditions, and effects on it are now on the new Pokémon.) If you do, put Unown on top of your deck. Shuffle your deck afterward. You can't use more than 1 Shuffle Poké-Power each turn.
Quoted from the card face. The label after the dash is how the card itself names the effect.

Why this sits apart from the attacks

An attack costs Energy and ends your turn. What is printed above does neither — it is available while the card is in play, so it is a different kind of cost to a deck. Attack costs are in the section above.

Shuffle can only be used once a turn

The words once during your turn are printed in it, which caps it at one use per turn on that one card. Two copies of the card in play are two separate Pokémon, so each carries its own use.

Back to summary

What does being a Psychic card do for Unown ??

Type decides two things at once — which cards take double damage from this one, and which cards deal double to it. Both are read from the weakness printed on each group, not from a rule of thumb.

What knocks out Unown ? in one hit, and what does it knock out?

What is Unown as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?

Unown ? is one print of Unown. The figures below are about the Pokémon rather than this single card — how many times it has been printed, how tough those prints run, and how many of them can still be played.

Unown has been printed 96 times, and the printed numbers move from one print to the next. Point at a card to see it full size.Tap a card to open its page.

Is this the strongest Unown print, and can the older ones still be played?

96 prints carry this name in the archive, and 94 of them are laid out below. They share a Pokémon but not a card — printed HP, printed damage and tournament legality all move from one print to the next.

Bar height and the number above each bar = highest HP that year; the two digits below = the year.

Rows run from the toughest print down. Bars are printed HP, measured against the toughest print of this name shown here (250 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

5 of the 94 prints listed here are legal in Standard play. An older print of the same Pokémon is a different card for legality, because legality is read from the print rather than from the name — so owning the cheap old copy does not always mean you can enter with it.

Unown ? — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Unown ??

Unown ? has 60 HP and a Psychic weakness at ×2, so a Psychic attack printed at 30 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 60.

What is the retreat cost of Unown ??

1 Energy, discarded from this card to move it out of the active spot. Retreating is allowed once per turn.

How often can you use Shuffle?

Once during your turn. The limit is printed in the ability itself, and it is counted per Pokémon — a second copy of Unown in play carries its own use.

Can an older Unown print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 94 prints listed on this page, 5 are legal in Standard play. The rest can still be played in formats that accept them, and the table on this page names the regulation mark each print carries.

Can Unown ? be played in a tournament?

It is legal in Unlimited play. Standard events run on a rotating list of sets, so check the current rotation before entering one.

Does this page say how good Unown ? is in a deck?

No. Every figure here is read from the printed card. Deck lists, tournament results and win rates are not published on this site, because the card files it reads do not contain them.
