Its flat, thin body is always stuck on walls. Its shape appears to have some meaning.

Y

Shaped like ancient writing, it is a huge mystery whether language or Unown came first.

Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire

This Pokémon is shaped like ancient writing. It is a mystery as to which came first, the ancient writings or the various Unown. Research into this topic is ongoing but nothing is known.

Generation VIII

Legends: Arceus

It is hard to believe these strangely shaped Pokémon are truly living creatures. I've pointed out that the species' many forms resemble writing from other lands; no one will take me seriously.
