Read more ↓Absol is a striking Dark-type Pokémon first introduced in Generation III with the release of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. Known as the Disaster Pokémon, Absol possesses the unique ability to sense natural disasters like earthquakes and tidal waves, often appearing before such events. This has historically led humans to misunderstand and fear Absol, mistakenly believing it causes the catastrophes it merely attempts to warn them about. Its natural habitat includes mountainous regions where it lives in solitude, often descending to lower elevations to warn people of impending danger. Absol is a solitary creature, often seen perched on rocky ledges, observing its surroundings with keen eyes. It does not evolve from or into any other Pokémon, making it a standalone and distinct species. In the games, Absol is valued for its high Attack stat and speed, making it a formidable opponent. In the anime, it has appeared in several episodes, often playing a role in protecting humans or other Pokémon from danger, further highlighting its misunderstood nature. Culturally, Absol symbolizes foresight and the often-unappreciated efforts of those who try to help.
