An "N" Unown

Unown (アンノーン, Annōn, Unknown in original Japanese language versions) is a Pokémon that comes out of a Poké Ball.

Appearance

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.

Role

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'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.
