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.
Search your opponent's discard pile for a Supporter card and use the effect of that card as the effect of this attack. (The Supporter card remains in your opponent's discard pile.)

Where it came from
The Unown card from the 2005 EX Unseen Forces expansion represents the unique thematic focus of the set, which centered on the mysterious Pokémon appearing in the Johto region's Ruins of Alph. Produced by The Pokémon Company during the era managed by Wizards of the Coast's successor, Nintendo, this set sought to capture the archaeological and mystical tone of the games. The card illustrates the cryptic, letter-like nature of the species, fitting into a mechanic where players were encouraged to collect various Unown to form phrases or fulfill specific gameplay conditions.
The visual aesthetic of this card reflects the mid-2000s design direction of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which often utilized digital renders or stylized illustrations to distinguish the EX-era cards from their base-set predecessors. As a Psychic-type, this card aligns with the traditional game type associated with the enigmatic nature of the Unown. It was received by the player base as a niche collectible for those interested in the 'Unown alphabet' gimmick, cementing its place as a representative piece of the expansive, puzzle-oriented sets released during the third generation of Pokémon.
