Read more ↓Absol, known as the Disaster Pokémon, is a Dark-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III. This feline-like creature is instantly recognizable by its white fur, crescent-shaped horn, and a scythe-like tail. Absol lives high in mountainous regions, rarely venturing into human settlements. Its unique ability to sense natural disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis often causes it to appear before such events, leading people to mistakenly believe Absol is the cause of these calamities, rather than a harbinger trying to warn them. This misunderstanding forms a core part of its lore, painting Absol as a solitary, often feared, but ultimately benevolent Pokémon. Absol does not evolve from or into any other Pokémon, standing as a singular powerful entity. In the games, Absol is often sought after for its high Attack stat, making it a formidable physical attacker. In the anime, it frequently appears in episodes where natural disasters are a central theme, reinforcing its role as a predictor of doom and a misunderstood hero. Its striking appearance and compelling backstory have endeared it to many fans, making it a culturally significant Pokémon that embodies themes of perception versus reality.
