'''Unown''' ({{ja|アンノーン|Annōn}}, ''Unknown'') is a creature in the {{uv|Pokémon}} media franchise. Its name is a corruption of the word ''Unknown''.


==Origin==
==Creature description==
[[File:201UnownGS.png|thumb|150px|left|Unown G’s official artwork from ''Pokémon Gold and Silver''.]]
Unown does not have one appearance but multiple appearances. The two things that all the Unowns have in common is that they are all black and they have one eye. There are a total of 26 different Unowns in ''[[Super Smash Brothers Melee]]''. Each of the Unowns represent a letter of the alphabet. The Unowns can be identified if the player pays attention to the ones that come out of a Poké Ball. Since Melee's creation, a ! and a ? Unown were created, but since the game predates them, they do not appear. If Unown return in Brawl, the ! and ? Unown will most likely appear.
Unown is a Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation II}}, where it only appeared in the underground area of the {{iw|bulbapedia|Ruins of Alph}} after solving some stone puzzles, and is categorized within the Pokédex at #201 as the "Symbol Pokémon". It can appear in 28 functionally identical forms, 26 based on the letters of the {{iw|wikipedia|English alphabet}} and the last, rarer two, introduced in {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation III}}, on the question and exclamation marks. It is very weak and can learn only the move {{iw|bulbapedia|Hidden Power|move}}. Contrary to its depiction in ''[[Melee]]'', Unown cannot learn {{iw|bulbapedia|Take Down|move}} in any game.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''==
===As a [[Poké Ball]] [[Pokémon]]===
[[File:Unown Pokeball SSBM.png|thumb|An Unown F in ''Melee''.]]
The Unown make their first appearance in ''Melee'' and appear out of Poké Balls. Unown's attack is {{iw|bulbapedia|Take Down|move}}, and functions similarly to [[Beedrill]]'s attack in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' When Unown is summoned, a random letter of Unown flies off the screen. This particular Unown will hit opponents with moderate knockback; the slash attack is more profound and can even KO. A group of Unown will then begin flying from one side of the screen to the opposite side diagonally. Any [[character]] that makes contact with the swarm of Unowns will take [[damage]]. The character that made contact with the Unowns will also be forced to the top of the screen. The character even has a chance of getting [[KO]]'d at low percentages. Unown's attack does not harm the summoner.


===As a stage element===
==In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''==
[[File:Poke Floats Unown.png|thumb|Unown S's appearance on Poke Floats.]]
[[Image:Unown copy.jpg|thumb|300px|right|An "N" Unown]]
In the stage [[Poké Floats]], various Unown fly past at moderately high speed. They act as [[platform]]s and the players can fall through them. They travel in different directions.
===As a Poké Ball Pokémon===

The Unowns make their only appearance in ''Melee'' and appear out of Poké Balls. Unown's attack is Hidden Power, similar to [[Onix]] and [[Beedrill|Beedrill's]] attacks in ''[[Super Smash Brothers]]''. When Unown is summoned, a random letter of Unown flies off the screen. A group of Unown's will then begin flying from one side of the screen to the opposite side.  Any character that makes contact with the swarm of Unown's will take damage. The character that made contact with the Unowns will also be forced to the top of the screen. The character even has a chance of dying at low percentages. Unown's attacks does not harm the summoner. Unown's role is very similar to [[Beedrill]]'s in [[Super Smash Bros]].


===Trophy===
===As a trophy===
All 26 varieties of Unown which existed at the time feature together as a collectible trophy, unlocked by amassing a combined total of over 5,000m (16,503ft) with all the characters in the [[Home-Run Contest]].
All 26 varieties of Unown feature together as a collectible trophy, which is unlocked by amassing a combined total of over 16,503 feet with all the characters in the [[Home Run Contest]]. It reads as follows:
