Biology

Absol is a quadruped, mammalian Pokémon with a dark blue to black body covered in white fur. It has a ruff around its neck and chest and a tuft on the top of its head adorned with a single blue-black oval. It has a feline face with almond-shaped, red eyes, a scythe-like tail, and a crescent shaped horn on the side of its head. Its broad feet are equipped with three claws each, and spikes protrude from the heels of its hind legs and the elbows of its front legs.

As Mega Absol, its fur is longer overall, and the increased energy coursing through its body makes the fur at the back of its mane stand on end, so that it appears to have wings.[1] The spikes on its heels and elbows grow larger, and the fur in these areas becomes longer as well. Its sickle-shaped horn widens, while an additional, smaller horn appears on the opposite side of its head. Its tail now has a more saw-like shape, and the oval marking on its forehead is now a rounded triangle.

Absol lives in the mountains far from civilization, and rarely ventures down from its alpine home. Using its horn, Absol is able to sense even subtle changes in the sky and the land to predict when a disaster will occur, and will try to warn people when one is approaching. This often has the unfortunate effect of Absol itself being blamed for the disaster, notably by the elderly. Mega Absol emits a fearsome aura that has been known to kill fainthearted people from shock. It directs this aura at its opponents by beating its “wings”, which are not capable of flight. However, Absol apparently detests assuming this form, as it normally dislikes fighting in the first place.

Mega Absol in the anime

Major appearances

Absol debuted in Jirachi: Wish Maker. The Disaster Pokémon showed up to take Jirachi back to Forina. However, Absol wasn’t evil, and helped Jirachi once it returned to Forina.

Absol made its main series debut in Absol-ute Disaster. The people of a town were blaming Absol for all of the bad things that were happening to their town during the past month. Ash and his friends (along with a boy named Nicky) went out to verify the accusations. They found out that the Absol was actually warning the town about a flood.

An Absol appeared in What I Did for Love!, under the ownership of Mollie. It was used in the second round of the Gardenia Town Pokémon Contest, where it battled Brock’s Marshtomp and lost.

An Absol debuted in May, We Harley Drew’d Ya!, under the ownership of Drew, who was revealed to have caught and trained it for the Kanto Grand Festival. It was first used in the Appeals Round. Absol appeared again in Thinning the Hoard! and Channeling the Battle Zone!, where it and Flygon were used during a two-on-two Contest Battle against May, who used Combusken and Squirtle. In the end, Drew lost too many points, resulting in May advancing to the next round.

Four Absol appeared in Arceus and the Jewel of Life, under the ownership of Damos. In the original timeline set up by the movie, they were used by Damos, who was under Hypnosis, to attack Arceus with Shock Wave. When Ash and his friends traveled to the past to prevent this, Marcus, the one responsible for hypnotizing Damos, managed to use the Absol again to attack Arceus.

An Absol that can Mega Evolve into Mega Absol debuted in Mega Evolution Special I, under the ownership of Astrid. It was shown having a battle against Alain and Charizard, but it was defeated. Astrid’s Absol reappeared in Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction, where it was used in a battle against Ash and his Hawlucha, which resulted in Absol winning. It later had a rematch with Hawlucha in Valuable Experience for All! during the Lumiose Conference, which resulted in a loss for Absol.

An Absol appeared in The Bonds of Evolution!, under the ownership of Magnus. He used it to battle Diantha and her Gardevoir, but it was soon defeated by Gardevoir’s Moonblast.

An Absol appeared in Rescuing the Unwilling! and 10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!, under the ownership of Lusamine. Under the control of a Nihilego who was possessing Lusamine, it attacked Ash and his classmates. Gladion stayed to battle Absol with his Umbreon, Lycanroc, and Silvally before Nihilego was defeated.

Minor appearances

An Absol appeared in Mutiny in the Bounty, where it had been captured by J and her henchmen after Ash’s Pikachu, Melodi’s Gardevoir, and Team Rocket’s Meowth got stolen. Absol was eventually returned to its rightful owner after Ash, Team Rocket, and Melodi reunited with their Pokémon and some of J’s minions were arrested.

An Absol made a brief cameo appearance in Destiny Deoxys.

An Absol made a brief cameo appearance in Giratina and the Sky Warrior.

Sun

Long ago, superstitions were spread about it, saying it brought disaster. This fed a hatred of it, and it was driven deep into the mountains.

Moon

Although it’s said to bring disaster, in actuality, this Pokémon possesses a calm disposition and warns people of any crises that loom.

Ultra Sun

The only thing unlucky about Absol is its appearance. It protects fields and warns people of disaster, so one ought to be grateful for it.

Ultra Moon

The elderly call it the disaster Pokémon and detest it, but interest in its power to predict disasters is on the rise.

This Pokémon was unavailable prior to Generation VI.

This Pokémon has no Pokédex entries in Generation VI.

When this Pokémon whips the winglike fur on its back as though beating its wings, it sends an intimidating aura flying at its opponents.

As the energy of Mega Evolution fills it, its fur bristles. What you see on its back are not true wings, and this Pokémon isn’t able to fly.

Normally, it dislikes fighting, so it really hates changing to this form for battles.

It converts the energy from Mega Evolution into an intimidating aura. Fainthearted people expire from shock at the sight of it.

Trivia

Absol’s location in many games support its description of appearing where disasters occur:

In Diamond and Pearl, Absol appears on Route 213, which is close to Lake Valor, which was drained by Team Galactic.

Origin

Bulbanews has an article related to this subject: On the Origin of Species: Absol

Absol is most likely based on the Bai Ze (白澤) of Chinese mythology, whose name literally translates to “white marsh.” It is generally described as a white beast, distinguished by having one or two horns on its head. Considered to be an intelligent beast, Bai Ze is gifted with the ability to understand human speech and the knowledge on the forms and habits of 11,520 types of supernatural creatures in the world. In legend, Bai Ze shared its knowledge to the Yellow Emperor, which was subsequently compiled in a book called Bai Ze Tu. Few of its supposed fragments survive today. In Japan, it is known as the hakutaku (白沢). In a related legend, a similar creature known as the kutabe predicted that a plague would sweep through the Toyama Prefecture of Japan. It is also sometimes said to have an extra eye on their head or back, which may be represented by the oval that appears on Absol’s forehead. Absol’s head is modeled after a Taijitu symbol. Absol’s humanized face and feline appearance may also be a homage to the sphinx. Its scythe-shaped tail and horn suggest a resemblance to the Western personified depiction of Death, who is related to destiny and disaster. It may have also been inspired by the black cat superstition. Due to its feline appearance and it living in mountains Absol may also draw inspiration from a cougar.

Mega Absol’s wings and elongated hair give it the appearance of an angel, with its wings also being reminiscent of Greek portrayals of sphinxes and furthering the connection to sphinxes noted above.

Name origin

Absol may derive from 物騒 bussō (dangerous). It may also be a combination of ab- (“away from”) and sol (Latin for sun), referring to its Dark-type nature. The latter may also be a reference to a solar eclipse, as many cultures considered a solar eclipse as a sign of end-times or disaster.

It may also be derived from absolute, relating to its ability to foretell impending disasters; or from absolve, meaning “to free someone from punishment or blame”, or “to be declared as innocent for an accused wrongdoing”, in reference to it being misunderstood and undeserving of its reputation as doom-bringer.

Alternatively, it could derive from Absalom, a name which is said to bring bad luck, according to Jewish tradition.
