Trivia

 * Considerably, Unown is the most highly prized possession in the game making it a huge stepping stone for players. It is because Unown often spawns in inaccessible areas, making it very hard to find. Only the most dedicated players would find this Pokémon aside from certain events in which it spawns more often.
 * Exclamation and question mark Unown forms are counted in unique Unown caught in medals, making it possible to obtain the gold medal without completing the alphabet.
 * Sprite of Unown N was updated on August, 2019, possibly making it less confusing with Unown Z.
