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.

@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.

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

This thing with the first 3 generations where they made mons belong to a type that doesn't correspond to their better attacking stat was always weird. Think of how Mightyena, Absol and Sharpedo are all physical attackers, but dark type, which is special. It's almost like GF wanted to include the Phys/Spe split in third gen, but couldn't.

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.

I think if Absol started off with its' mega's speed and then ended up mega evolving, it could've been a threat. That would've given it the opportunity to get +20 in each of its defenses, and split the rest between attack and special attack.

Dont believe the hype Bruno, I own a jolly natured Absol (iv/ev trained) and let me tell you once it sets up a couple of swords dances its unstoppable. It can take down a lot of pokemon in singles aside from bulky fairies. I use to use it with a gimmicky team with sleep status moves and reflect/lightscreen to help it setup aswell as help with its weak defenses.

In my opinion, to make it more viable Absol would gain a ghost type when mega-evolving, since the two typing would cover most of their issues and leave Absol with more immunities and only one resistance to fairy, which it already struggles with. I would also make it learn meteor mash by level-up.

Pokemon Go players feel *_literal pain_* from hearing this name alone. Absol is a Level 4 raid like Tyranitar, and since you can't predict what the level 4 raid will be until the egg hatches, you have to wait and hope for the best. The moment when you see the Absol comes out is sheer pain.
