The character
Unown is a Psychic-type Pokémon species from the Pokémon franchise, notable for its many forms, each shaped like a letter or symbol. The Pokédex describes Unown as resembling ancient writing and counts it among the world's seven mysteries. This particular form takes the shape of the letter V, as indicated by the card name and its silhouette.
