{{pkmn|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 ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', Unown cannot learn {{iw|bulbapedia|Take Down|move}} in any game.

The Unown make their only appearance in ''Melee'' and appear out of Poké Balls. Unown's attack is Take Down, 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.

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.

*Unown are more likely to appear if [[Entei]] is on the field, and vice-versa. This is based on the 3rd Pokémon movie.
