Unown



[OVERVIEW]

If you ask anyone who the truly weakest Pokémon is, they will most likely say something like Magikarp, Cosmog or Abra. However, unlike them, Unown has absolutely no way to better itself. It does not have an evolution or even some breadth to its movepool, as it only comes with one out of the Hidden Powers. But, if you feel like using the crown jewel of all gimmicks, then use something else because Unown is not worth anyone's time, sadly.

[SET COMMENTS]
Moves
========

One single base 60 power STAB move and Specs. That's it.

Set Details
========

Modest, Specs, and investment in Unown's Special Attack and Speed create Unown's greatest potential, although it's not likely to get kills any time soon.

Usage Tips
========

Don't. Use something else. Anything. If you do use it, use it to knock out those weak to it's main set like Fighting and Poison types, or to whatever Hidden Power type you choose.

Team Options
========

Use 5 other good Pokémon and build a team around that.

Other Options
=============

Choice Scarf is also an option but only if you want to forsake some of its power for any potential to revenge kill, yet even that's a stretch. 48 speed isn't doing it favors, and it sacrifices whatever power it has to do so, in most situations a horrible tradeoff.

Checks and Counters
===================

Everything that isn't LC: Unown's limitations are staggering, so here is a short list of them. Anything that resists the Hidden Power type being used can easily switch in and take out Unown with a single move in most situations. Actually, anything that's not weak to it and can take a hit can do superbly, however this only accounts for roughly 99.9% of the meta, and if you're running Unown, then you have no care whatsoever. Run free and wild before having your dreams crushed by a random NFE OHKOing Unown.
