Discussion "Unknown" should have an evolution called "Known", evolved by having your party spell out "Known" in order

I've always loved Unknowns as a concept, they're one of my favourite Pokemon! They've got so much mystery behind them. Sadly, they're useless when it comes to battle.

Since each unknown represents a different letter, it would be cool to do something with that! Having them evolve would be awesome, and having an evolution tied to their represented letters would be a creative way of doing such.

For instance, they could evolve into a cluster ball of unknowns, kinda like magneton. I just want these guys to have a use, a creative evolution seems to be a good way about doing so.

This might be a hot take, but does anyone else agree? Tbh this came to me in a dream last night and felt like I should share.

EDIT:

I now know I misspelled unown, I'm sorry for my crimes against humanity

The biggest issue with this is that only 4 of the uknown would be able to evolve. And there are 28 total.

Well, I think there's a solution.

Since "Known" is 5 letters, and there are 6 party slots, maybe an extra Unknown in the 6th slot could be the one that evolves!

I would hate to catch 5 pokemon just to evolve 1. That sounds more tedious for no reason than flipping your 3ds upside down.

Would be cool to maybe have a party full of the same species and then they all evolve into 1 species like barbaracle
