Read more ↓Absol, known as the Disaster Pokémon, is a Generation III Dark-type Pokémon first introduced in the Hoenn region. This elegant, quadrupedal creature is easily recognizable by its scythe-like horn, long white mane, and dark-blue fur. Absol is a solitary Pokémon, often found living in mountainous regions, far from human settlements. Its unique ability to sense natural disasters, such as earthquakes and tidal waves, has historically caused it to be misunderstood and feared by humans, who often blamed it for the very calamities it was trying to warn them about. Despite its ominous reputation, Absol is a benevolent Pokémon that actively tries to protect people and other Pokémon from danger. It does not evolve from or into any other Pokémon, though it does have a powerful Mega Evolution form introduced in Generation VI. In the games, Absol is valued for its high Attack stat and diverse move pool, making it a formidable opponent. In the anime, it has been featured in several episodes and movies, often portrayed as a misunderstood protector. Absol's design and lore contribute to its significant cultural impact, symbolizing the often-misplaced fear of the unknown and the beauty found in nature's warnings.
