| Biggest attack | 10 | 10 | 10 | 20 | 70 | 65 |
Trainer and energy cards carry no HP or attack, so they are left out of these counts rather than entered as zero. "Biggest attack" is the largest printed damage number on the card, before any condition the attack text adds.
HP printed on the 95 Unown cards that carry one. The typical card is 50 HP. Bar length is that HP against the highest in the group.
Half of these cards sit between 50 and 60 HP. The distance between the two ends is what a single average would have hidden.

The largest printed damage number on each of the 65 Unown cards that print one. The typical card hits for 10. Bar length is that number against the hardest hitter in the group.
Half of these cards hit between 10 and 20. Attack text that adds a condition is not counted here — only the printed number.

| Legal in Expanded today | 7 | 7.4% |
| Cards with an Ability | 90 | 94.7% |
| Cards with a special rule | 31 | 32.6% |
Standard and Expanded are the two tournament formats. A card leaves Standard when its set rotates out, so this share moves each year while the card itself does not change.
Each track is the whole of the 95 Unown cards on file, so the empty part of a bar is the share the answer does not cover.
The four rows are not slices of one whole — a card can be legal in Standard and carry an Ability at the same time, so the bars are read one at a time against the group.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Legal in Standard today | 5.3% | 5 cards |
| Legal in Expanded today | 7.4% | 7 cards |
| Cards with an Ability | 94.7% | 90 cards |

Back to summaryThe cheapest Unown Pokémon cards you can buy
Cheapest first. Each card opens its own price page. Prices exclude shipping, which on a card at this level is usually more than the card.
These six together cost $8.81, against $139.99 for the single dearest Unown card. The two ends of the same group sit 163× apart, and both of them are correctly described as "Unown".
How Unown compares with the other Pokémon
"Which Pokémon is the most expensive" has three different answers depending on what you measure, so this section keeps them apart.
Ranked by its single dearest card, Unown is number 119 of 206 Pokémon, on Unseen Forces #? at $139.99. By card count it is number 3, and by the price of an ordinary card number 73 — three different answers to "is it the most expensive".
These are the Pokémon that sit next to Unown on that ladder.
