Unown
Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Unown is a psychic-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Attack — at 336 BST it is a low total for competitive play, with slow (base 48) and a mixed attacking profile. Its Levitate ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Unown. Build around what Unown actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
