Imo Absol's best use is for catching pokemon in the games. Moves: Thunder Wave, False Swipe, Feint Attack, Swords Dance/Mean Look, Ability: Pressure Holding Absolite/Leftovers. Its a hard hitting False Swipe user that learns Thunder Wave. Feint Attack covers mons that spam evasion/accuracy affecting moves or ghost types, Mean look covers mons that wanna escape like the stupid dogs or Abra. Otherwise take SD for a beefier False Swipe. Absolite gives you magic bounce which is nice against mons that try to hax you, otherwise leftovers is nice for sustaining up while tossing balls. I've always used Absol like this.

I still fondly remember going through Route 120 for the first time and searching for some new Pokémon, and then, out of the blue, coming across this unique beast. I legit thought it was some legendary because of how small its encounter rate was and how much it reminded me of Legendary Beasts. Now that fluffy disaster boy is my absolute favourite and you have no idea how happy I felt when I found out during the X/Y era that it got the prettiest Mega in the game.

Instead of pressure which is useless since it has no bulk. Maybe forewarn could replace, heck, tack on runaway as another ability. Then make runaway do smth in battles.

Try doing Max HP/Def/SpDef and Max Attack EV's with Choice Band, Muscle Band or Life Orb and give it an Adamant nature. Sucker Punch strikes offensive Pokemon first and 75 base Speed should be enough to outspeed most walls using status moves without investment. Prankster powered moves fail against Absol because of the Dark typing so a wallbreaker that can survive hits should not be a bad idea. 🖤

@Siper There is no such thing as a "Semi-Pseudo Legendary" pokemon. Absol, Lucario and Zoroark are fan favorites, indeed. And they are very cool pokemon, no one will deny that, but creating a new category to get the illusion(pun intended) that your favorite pokemon is more than just a normal pokemon by giving it a special title or group is just headcanon. It's OK if your favorite pokemon is just a normal one, trust me, I would know. My favorite pokemon is Haxorus, and he is basically the face of the whole "Semi-Pseudo" argument, and it makes some sense, because 90% of people probably thought Haxorus was a Pseudo legendary for the longest time, it just looks like one, but we must accept the reality, Flygon, Haxorus, and many others are just regular pokemon. Really cool regular pokemon, but just regular pokemon.

I would love to see the camera, movement and death animations from Battle Revolution combined with Sword/Shield's particle effects and newer Pokemon models.

YAS! My favorite Pokémon ever! I was so hyped when Absol was one of those first 7 Pokémon revealed to get a Mega, I made sure to leave a spot open in my team cuz I was hoping I’d get access to Mega-Absol a lot sooner than we did in X/Y. It’s a shame it was never really top tier, but I’m sort of glad for that in a way since it means it didn’t lose some of its charm by being on every single team.

What I would do to absol to maybe help it? More speed, little more bulk... might encourage people to use one of the few pokemon who can get 100% crit rate and have some use for it (that base attack is right there tied with Garchomp's, after all)

Hey Kellen (and the rest of the FSG team), I've been watching your videos for a while, and nowadays you talk about every tier the pokemon has been in, and describe its role there, even if it's in a lower tier, while back in the day you pretty much only talked about OU and VGC, so what do you guys think about redoing some of those older videos (like the gen 1 starters video) while talking about how they did in the lower tiers? Much love

I think Absol as a Mega could possibly have seen a bit more usage if the stat buffs were similar to a spread like: 65 130 60->90 75- 60->90 75->115 I think base 90 defenses would buy it enough time to get off at least an SD depending on how it’s invested. Base 130 atk is already more than usable and 115 speed helps it outrun a lot. If there is an issue there, then sucker punch is still a thing. I also think that the addition of fairy as a secondary typing could have been beneficial too.

Absol seems to come across me as a "chance dance" sort of thing. Had pokemon not been a turn-based game, the chance dancing might've been a thing, but since it isn't and there aren't a lot of games that allow free movement and relying on rng, whatever GameFreak was trying to do with Absol, it just wasn't cutting it.
