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.
Choose 1 of the Defending Pokémon's attacks. That Pokémon can't use that attack during your opponent's next turn.

Where it came from
The Unown U card from the EX Unseen Forces expansion was released in August 2005 as part of the broader Pokémon Trading Card Game series. This set focused heavily on the Johto region and the mysterious Unown, featuring a collection of these psychic-type glyph Pokémon that could be strategically linked together during gameplay. The set design leaned into the lore of the Ruins of Alph, creating an immersive experience for players exploring the intersection of ancient history and competitive card mechanics.
The artwork for this specific card follows the minimalist, abstract style characteristic of the Unown illustrations within the EX era. Designed to represent the letter 'U', the card's visual identity emphasizes the strange, monolithic nature of the species. While the Unown cards were noted for their innovative ability-based utility in the game's competitive meta at the time, this specific release remains a staple for collectors interested in the unique aesthetic design of the early 2000s sets.
