Unown
?
(Legends Awakened)
Our final Unown of the week
features a not-terrible (and cost free!) discard/draw
attack and another weird PokePower
with a punctuation mark for a name.
The ‘?’
Power reminds me of those crazy old Blaine’s Quiz cards
(wasn’t there one where you had to guess the
length of a
Pokémon? That’s just mental). You put a Pokémon face
down and your opponent has to guess what Type it is. If
they guess wrong, then you draw a card.
Ok, so there’s no drawback if they get it right, but
would you really want to waste deck and Bench space on
this card? I mean, a lot of the time it won’t work
(alert players will have a pretty decent idea of what
you have in your hand after following your searches and
your plays), and even if it does, that one card could
have been more easily and more certainly got with
Unown R or even something
like Dodrio SV (which no-one
even plays).
It’s fun to use, and I vaguely remember having some
success with it at a prerelease
(where it is much harder for your opponent to predict
what you have) but competitively? Nah, stick with
Unown R/Rescue.

Modified: 1.5 (silly card . . . too silly to be good)
