Read more ↓Absol is a unique Dark-type Pokémon first introduced in Generation III with the release of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. Known as the Disaster Pokémon, Absol possesses the uncanny ability to sense impending natural disasters, such as earthquakes and tidal waves. Despite its benevolent intentions of warning people, its appearance often precedes catastrophe, leading to it being unfairly ostracized and feared. Absol is a solitary Pokémon, preferring to live high in the mountains away from human settlements, only descending to deliver its warnings. It does not evolve from or into any other Pokémon, making it a standalone and iconic creature. Its diet is largely unknown, but given its habitat, it likely subsists on mountain flora or small prey. In the games, Absol is often sought after for its high Attack stat and speed, making it a formidable opponent. In the anime, it frequently appears as a misunderstood protector, reinforcing its theme of being judged by its appearance rather than its true nature. Culturally, Absol represents the idea of a misunderstood hero, a creature whose gifts are both a blessing and a curse. Its dark and elegant design, coupled with its poignant backstory, has cemented its place as a fan favorite.
