Signature ability

YAWN

Once during your turn (before your attack), if Unown Y is on your Bench, you may remove 1 damage counter from 1 of your Active Unown and that Unown is now Asleep.

Its main value lies in its attack which lets you dig through your deck for specific support cards. This helps you find the tools you need without wasting turns shuffling or drawing randomly.
