However, it's worth noting since the addition of Furfrou and the ability to change forms, this is not a form you can change if you want Unown B, you need to catch Unown B, for example. It does, however, display all forms you've caught, with each one represented by a floating bubble.

Similar to Pokémon with multiple forms - such as Castform - Unown only occupies one entry in the Pokedex.

It has 28 forms – one for each letter of the Latin alphabet (A–Z), along with a question mark and exclamation mark.
