It’s just a gimmick Pokemon.
Unown has literally no use, yeah. It’s just there for it’s massive amount of formrs - Pokemon isn’t ALL about battling. But Unown has 28 forms, one for each of the alphabet, and another two for ! and ? characters. Unown forms can be fun to collect. (Like Vivilion’s millions of forms) That’s really the only reason Unown exist, for a novelty activity in Pokemon.
Also, Unown characters are used as the main alphabet in the Pokemon world, which is a great way to distinguish the real world from the Pokemon world.
Hope I helped. :)
In the games that you can catch them in, if you catch all the kinds ofunknown, a special event will happen, like a door opens, or acharacter in the area will say something new and give you something.Other than that, they only have one move, so they are usless inbattle, but they give good experience points to low level Pokemon.
