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.
The Defending Pokémon is now Asleep.

Where it came from
The Unown (Y/115) card was released as part of the EX Unseen Forces expansion, which debuted in the summer of 2005. This set is notable for its thematic focus on the Johto region and the legendary Pokémon Ho-Oh and Lugia, marking a return to the roots of the second generation. The Unown cards in this set were designed with a unique gameplay mechanic where each lettered Unown represented a specific ability, encouraging players to collect the entire alphabet to build synergistic decks.
The illustration for this specific Unown card was created by artist Kazuo Yazawa, who was a frequent contributor to the Pokémon Trading Card Game during the early 2000s. Yazawa’s style often emphasized clean lines and minimalist backgrounds, which complemented the cryptic and mysterious nature of the Unown species. Upon its release, the card was received as a niche utility piece for collectors interested in thematic deck-building, rather than as a powerhouse for competitive tournament play.
