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.
Flip a coin. If heads, your opponent returns the Defending Pokémon and all cards attached to it to his or her hand. (If your opponent doesn't have any Benched Pokémon or other Active Pokémon, this attack does nothing.)

Where it came from
Released in the 2005 Unseen Forces expansion, this card captures the mysterious nature of the Unown, a species defined by its resemblance to ancient hieroglyphs. This set was notable for its emphasis on the Johto region and the unique mechanics surrounding the diverse Unown alphabet, which allowed players to spell out words to trigger specific game effects.
The card features artwork by Keiji Kinebuchi, who was a frequent contributor to the early and mid-era Pokémon Trading Card Game. Kinebuchi’s style often utilized a distinct, layered, and slightly textured digital aesthetic that aimed to make these enigmatic symbols appear as if they were fading into or emerging from ancient ruins, aligning with the lore surrounding the Ruins of Alph.
