Kazuyuki Kano illustrated this card. The same name is on 26 other cards in the catalog.

Unown (#201) has 95 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 18 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Unown [J] 38/53 in Wizards Black Star Promos (1999). That card is named Unown [J], while this one is Unown [S]. That card lists 40 HP, and this one lists 50 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare. Hideki Kazama illustrated that card, and Kazuyuki Kano illustrated this one. 67 other cards of Unown list a different HP.

Set is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), if you have Unown S, Unown E, and Unown T on your Bench, you may flip a coin. If heads, search your discard pile for an Energy card, show it to your opponent, and put it on top of your deck. The attack Hidden Power lists 10 damage. The cost is Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Confused. Weakness is Psychic +10. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "Shaped like ancient writing, it is a huge mystery whether language or UNOWN came first."

I keep a set binder for Secret Wonders, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Secret Wonders set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Unown can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Unown. I still need this card.
