What it does
Whenever a Metal Pokémon damages 1 of your Pokémon, reduce that damage by 30 (after applying Weakness and Resistance). This power stops working if you have more than 1 Unown [M] in play. (This power works even if Unown [M] is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.)
You may have up to 4 Basic Pokémon cards in your deck with Unown in their names.
Their shapes look like hieroglyphs on ancient tablets. It is said that the two are somehow related.

Where it came from
Unown M was released as part of the Neo Discovery expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted in Japan in June 2000 and reached North American markets in 2001. This set was notable for introducing the Johto region's mysterious, alphabet-shaped Pokémon to the card game, allowing players to collect versions of Unown representing different letters of the alphabet.
The card was illustrated by Atsuko Nishida, a pivotal figure in Pokémon character design. Nishida leaned into the cryptic and ancient aesthetic associated with the Unown, utilizing a minimalist composition that emphasizes the character's distinct, glyph-like form. While individual Unown cards were rarely central to competitive play, they became highly sought after by collectors aiming to complete the full alphabet collection, representing a unique design exercise within the franchise.
