| '''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''. | |

| | Unown is a bizarre, small entity that resembles a dark stylized letter of the alphabet with a large flat eye in its center. It comes in 28 confirmed variations, 26 of which are physically arranged to represent one of the 26 letters of the alphabet each and two more recently discovered variants resembling a question mark and exclamation mark respectively. According to the Pokédex, because this many different types of Unown exist, it is said they must have a variety of abilities. They are always found stuck on walls in ancient ruins, and their shapes look like the ancient writing and hieroglyphs present on ancient tablets. It is believed the two are somehow related, but it is a huge mystery whether the ancient writings or the various Unown came first; research into this topic is ongoing but nothing is known. At any rate, it seems that Unown communicate among each other telepathically. When one is alone, nothing happens. However, if there are two or more in the vicinity, an odd power is said to emerge. |
| 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]]''==
| | Unown are pretty much never seen in competetive Pokémon battles, as the only move they can learn is the largely useless Hidden Power. |
| ===As a [[Poké Ball]] [[Pokémon]]===

| |
| 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===
| | Only the first 26 different Unown forms are in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Since Melee's creation, a ! and a ? Unown were created, but since the game predates them, they do not appear. |
| [[File:Poke Floats Unown.png|thumb|Unown S's appearance on Poke Floats.]]
| |
| 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.

| ===Trophy=== | | ==In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''== |
| 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]].

| | 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 Unowns will then begin flying from one side of the screen to the opposite side. 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 dying at low percentages. Unown's attack does not harm the summoner. Unown's role is very similar to [[Beedrill]]'s in [[Super Smash Bros]]. |
