What this card does

The WALL ability lowers incoming damage by 10 points while it is your Active Pokémon.

The Hidden Power attack costs one Psychic and two Colourless Energy to deal 50 damage and let you draw a card.

Signature ability

WALL

As long as Unown W is your Active Pokémon, any damage done to your Pokémon by an opponent's attack is reduced by 10 (after applying Weakness and Resistance).

Its key feature is the WALL ability, which acts as a shield for your Active Pokémon. This makes Unown W useful for keeping your main fighter alive longer against strong attacks.

Unown resembles ancient writing and comes in many different shapes.

Note for the parent
