Absol, known in Japan as アブソル (Absol), is a Dark-type Pokémon. It isn't known to evolve, but it can Mega Evolve into Mega Absol with an Absolite.
Absol is able to sense natural disasters with its scythe-like horn on its head. However, due to the disaster happening before it appears before people, Absol is often the blame for the disasters.
Biology[]
Absol is a quadrupedal, mammalian Pokémon with a primarily white body with some dark blue coloration. 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. Between the dark fur, the curvature of the white fur on its head, and the positioning of its horn, Absol's face vaguely resembles a wu wei symbol. It has a feline face with almond-shaped, red eyes, a scythe-like tail, and a scythe-shaped horn on the side of its head. Its broad feet are equipped with three claws each, and dewclaw-like spikes protrude from the heels of its hind legs and the elbows of its front legs. It walks with a pacing gait like that of a bear.
Absol lives in the mountains far from civilization, and it 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. Absol is also known to protect fields from natural disasters as well. This often has the unfortunate effect of Absol itself being blamed for the disaster, notably by the elderly. The hatred for Absol was started years ago by superstitions surrounding about it. Despite this, others are interested in its ability to predict disaster. Absol has been referred to as a bringer of doom. Absol can move as swiftly as the wind. Absol is said to have a lifespan of up to 100 years.
In its Mega Evolution, 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. 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.

Trivia[]
Origin[]
Name Origin[]
Absol's name may be derived from 物騒 bussō (dangerous), but it is also likely to be a combination of ab- (prefix meaning "away from") and sol (latin for sun), referring to the Dark-type, and the solar eclipse, the latter being considered a sign of apocalypses and other disasters in many cultures. It may also refer to absolute.
