Absol Analysis

Status
Not open for further replies.
[OVERVIEW]
  • Absol Boasts the highest attack stat of any Dark type in the tier
  • Gives Bulky pokemon a hard time choosing whether or not it should keep its item or not
  • Dark typing gives Immunity to Prankster, meaning Sableye and Liepard are going to have a hard time dealing with Absol
  • Amazing Priority in Sucker Punch
  • Takes advantage of Knock off with Justified to receive an attack raise, Hitting Harder
  • Unfortunately, Absol has lackluster Bulk and will faint to any priority, Mainly Mach punch
  • 75 speed isnt a good speed tier to revenge kill and will be Outsped by Common Threats

[SET]
name: Swords Dance
move 1:Knock Off
move 2:Superpower/ Play Rough
move 3:Sucker Punch
move 4:Swords Dance
item:Life Orb/Darkinium Z
ability:Justified
nature:Adamant/Jolly
evs:252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]
  • Knock off is for main STAB and helps removing items from Bulky mons
  • Superpower is for Steel types, Rock types, and Normal types who won't appreciate the Damage done
  • Play Rough is for Fighting Types who otherwise can handle Absol
  • Sucker Punch is the main priority, can revenge scarfers and do alot of damage
  • Swords Dance is Set up option, freely set up on bulky pokemon who can't touch and Set up on pokemon who are forced out



Set Details
  • Max attack and Max Speed maximize Absol's Offensive Potential.
  • Adamant is best used to do more damage and break more walls
  • Jolly is so you can speed tie with base 75 pokemon, neural 85
  • Life orb is to do more consistent damage
  • Darkinium Z can be used with Sucker Punch to have a one turn dark type Nuke, also takes less damage from knock off to increase Absol's attack more



Usage Tips
========

  • Send Out Absol when there is a Passive mon on the field and a weakened team
  • It can't switch in so be very Careful when trying to make a good prediction, you may cost Absol who is very Easily killed
