About this card
"Shaped like ancient writing, it is a huge mystery whether language or Unown came first."
Poké-Power: QUICK
Once during your turn (before your attack), if Unown Q is on your Bench, you may discard all cards attached to Unown Q and attach Unown Q to 1 of your Pokémon as a Pokémon Tool card. As long as Unown Q is attached to a Pokémon, you pay Colorless less to retreat that Pokémon.
CHidden Power — 20
Weakness:P+10

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Unown [Q] is real?
Unown [Q] is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
