Poké-POWER ⇢ Shuffle
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may search your deck for another Unown and switch it with Unown. (Any cards attached to Unown, damage counters, Special Conditions, and effects on it are now on the new Pokémon.) If you do, put Unown on top of your deck. Shuffle your deck afterward. You can’t use more than 1 Shuffle Poké-Power each turn.
{C}{C} → Hidden Power
Search your deck for up to 2 Supporter cards, show them to your opponent, and put them into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterward.

First Unown in 10+ sets!
Ambassador A
This Hidden Power’s effect could be compared to Skyridge Lapras, whose {C}{C} Assist attack allowed you to search for 1 Supporter card. Unown A offers you a “two for one” – one more Supporter than Assist would fish out of your deck, for the same {C}{C} price. This parallels EX Emerald’s Scott, which also offered a simple +1 upgrade; in this case, to the capabilities of Skyridge’s Relic Hunter card.
Their utilities, however, are inverted (at least respective to the times the cards debuted). Whereas Skyridge Lapras saw a decent amount of play during the e-Card era, Unown A didn’t see much play ..at all? And while it’s not that Relic Hunter saw *no* use, it doesn’t seem to have been a staple of e-Card the way Scott was for a decent chunk of the EX era.
