Unown [H] 29/106 · Great Encounters

Great Encounters is a set in the Diamond & Pearl series. It was released on February 1, 2008. The printed size is 106, and the checklist is the same length. Unown [H] is 29/106, in position 29 of 106 on this checklist. Before it is 28 Slowking, and after it is 30 Wailord. The listed rarity is Rare.

Unown [H] is a Basic Psychic Pokémon with 60 HP. The card lists level 12. In the Pokédex this is Unown (#201), generation 2 (Johto).

Daisuke Ito illustrated this card. The same name is on 47 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 [H]. That card lists 40 HP, and this one lists 60 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare. Hideki Kazama illustrated that card, and Daisuke Ito illustrated this one. 60 other cards of Unown list a different HP.

HEAL is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), if you have Unown H, Unown E, Unown A, and Unown L on your Bench, you may remove all Special Conditions from 1 of your Active Pokémon. The attack Hidden Power lists 30 damage. The cost is Psychic. Discard a card from your hand. (If you can't discard a card from your hand, this attack does nothing.) 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 Great Encounters, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Great Encounters 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.
