What Unown [V] 89 does without attacking

Unown [V] 89 carries 1 printed effect that work outside the attack step, so it can matter on a turn the card never attacks.

Printed effects

Capped at once a turn

None

Read from the printed text quoted below, not counted anywhere else.

[Vanish] — Pokémon Power

When you play Unown [V] from your hand, you may flip a coin. If heads, return 1 of your Pokémon with Unown in its name (other than Unown [V]) to your hand. (Discard all cards attached to that card.)

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.

Is Unown [V] 89 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

What does being a Psychic card do for Unown [V] 89?

Unown [V] 89 in depth — what these figures add up to

Three readings of the same card, side by side: what it costs to get going, where it sits among the cards it will be compared with, and what takes it off the field.

What it asks a deck for

Its hardest attack, Hidden Power, needs 1 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 1 turn from an empty card.
That works out at 10 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs 1 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
