Pokemon Reviews: Unown

Unown

Unown's forms seem to have some meaning; resembling that of ancient hieroglyphs. They are always stuck on walls. When one Unown is all by itself, nothing seems to happen, but when there's more than one Unown, it said that an odd power of some sort emerges.

Unown has more forms than any other Pokemon with a total of 28 different variations. One for each letter in the alphabet, and an exclamation point and a question mark. Unown has a poor base stat of 48 for HP, Defense, Sp. Defense, and Speed. It makes me wish Unown really was "unknown", because this is a really pointless Pokemon to have in the game. Its Attack and Sp. Attack stats have a base of 72. It seems like Game Freak doesn't want use Unown at all. It also makes one wonder if this Pokemon was just made for the anime. Again, Unown's stats are horrible.

Only one move. Unown has only one move. It's Hidden Power. Its type and power is based off of the Pokemon using it. To find out Unown's Hidden Power type, go to the Pokemon center in Mistralton City and ask a guy by the counter. He'll tell you what type Unown's, or any other Pokemon's Hidden Power type. Use Google to find more info on Hidden Power, because there's too much for me to explain in one post. Having only Hidden Power makes Unown sink like a rock.

Unown's ability is Levitate, which means you're immune to Ground-Type moves. I guess it's okay, because you're immune to Fissure and Earthquake, but Unown isn't weak to Ground-Type moves, so the ability isn't really that useful either, and don't leave out the fact that nobody hardly even uses Unown anyway.

Of all the Psychic-Types, Unown has to be the worst. It's really cool that it has all those forms, though, not to mention the fact it's so cute! But in battle, Unown is worthless.

Positive Review- The Pokemon is strong, great, used a lot, Pokemon is good overall.

In-Between Review- The Pokemon is okay, not the best, okay, acceptable, has one or two faults, In the Middle.

Yikes Review- The Pokemon is bad, maybe weak, not the best at all, has a few faults, it needs improvement.

STAB- Stands for Same Type Attack Bonus. It's when a Pokemon uses an attack that is the same Type as itself. The move becomes more powerful because the move is the same Type as the user.

Eeveelutions- An evolved form of Eevee.

Staller- A Pokemon that takes up time in battle. They usually use something like Toxic, use an Attack to inflict damage and after that, uses Protect to take up some time, and rely on the Poisoning to defeat the opposing Pokemon. It also counts with Pokemon who use moves like Refresh. Usually a Stalling Pokemon has to have high HP, Defense, Sp. Defense, and Speed stats.

Uber- A Pokemon capable of doing a lot of damage, mostly legendaries.

Tiers- Ranks that separate Pokemon into different classes, based on how often they're used and how capable they are in battle. LC is Little Cup, which is mainly unevolved Pokemon, NFE is Not Fully-Evolved, which are Pokemon that have evolved, but aren't fully-evolved, and Limbo are Pokemon being tested out to see how capable they are. To find out more about the main tiers, check out serebii.net, smogon, and Bulbapedia.

Entry Hazards- Things set up by using the moves Spikes, Toxic Spikes, or Stealth Rock. These can hurt Pokemon after being set up upon the Pokemon being sent out in the battle. Depending on the Pokemon's typing, they may get hurt a lot. If a Pokemon is 4x weak to Stealth Rock, for example, they lose half of their HP. Spikes can be avoided with levitating or Flying-Type Pokemon. Toxic Spikes poison the opponent's Pokemon when they're sent out into battle. Two sets of them badly poison them.
