Description:

Unown, a cool looking Pokemon with all of his different forms, sadly it only has access to Hidden Power. Along with that, Hidden Power was nerfed this generation. So in essence, Unown got nuked and the little amount of viability that it had shot down even lower. Luckily, Unown has multiple items to take advantage of and it has a useful immunity to Ground type moves thanks to Levitate.

Set #1: Choice Specs

Unown @ Choice Specs
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 Def
Timid Nature
- Hidden Power Psychic / Fairy / Dark / Fighting / Ice

Set Description:

Hidden Power is your only option here, and the best option would be to use Choice Specs to boost Unown's Special Attack to usable levels. The type of Hidden Power is completely dependent on the coverage you need. Psychic is only on here since you get STAB from it. Fairy maims Dragon, Dark and Fighting. Dark maims Ghosts and Psychics and hits Steel for Neutral damage. Fighting nails loads of things. Ice hits Dragon / Flying and similar combinations for 4x damage.

Other Options:

Choice Scarf or Assault Vest are your only viable options otherwise. Unown is one of the few Pokemon that actually gets worse from Generation to Generation.
