What it does
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may search your deck for another Unown and switch it with Unown. (Any cards attached to Unown, damage counters, Special Conditions, and effects on it are now on the new Pokémon.) If you do, put Unown on top of your deck. Shuffle your deck afterward. You can't use more than 1 Shuffle Poké-Power each turn.
Count the number of cards in your opponent's hand. Put that many damage counters on the Defending Pokémon.

Where it came from
The Unown B card was released as part of the EX Unseen Forces expansion, which debuted in the summer of 2005. This set is particularly notable among collectors for its focus on the Johto region and the introduction of the Unown mechanism, which allowed players to spell out words using the cards in their deck. The design aesthetic of the era leaned heavily into the complex, industrial-influenced style of the mid-2000s Pokemon TCG, moving away from the more simplistic layouts of the early sets.
Illustrator Hiromichi Sugiyama was responsible for the artwork, which features the distinctive, hieroglyphic-like design of the character against a muted background. During this period, the Pokemon TCG was undergoing a significant transition in its competitive landscape, and while the Unown cards were rarely mainstays in top-tier tournament decks, they became highly sought after by completionists and fans of the franchise’s lore due to their unique thematic integration within the game.
