Character info
The character
Unown is a mysterious Pokémon species shaped like various letters and symbols, first introduced in the Johto region. Each individual Unown resembles a different glyph, and groups of them are often found together in ancient ruins. They are known for communicating through telepathy and for their psychic nature, though little else about their behavior is understood.
This card
This is Unown VSTAR, card number 066 out of 195 from the Silver Tempest set, released in 2022. It carries Holo Rare VSTAR treatment, showing multiple Unown forms floating together against a cosmic, starry backdrop. The artwork is credited to PLANETA Mochizuki.
