What this card does

It can copy any attack from any Unown on the field, including your opponent's.

It has an attack that searches both discard piles for up to two cards and puts them back in order.

Signature ability

LINK

Unown L can use any attack from any Unown in play (both yours and your opponent's). (You still have to pay for that attack's Energy cost.)

The LINK ability allows this card to mimic moves from other Unown you or your opponent have played. This means it can adapt its strategy during the game without needing specific energy attachments for those copied attacks.

Attacks
