Absol

Absol (Japanese: アブソル, HepburnAbusoru) (AB-sol[1]) is a Dark-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

Biology

Physiology

Absol is a distinctly feliform Pokémon. It has a dark blue face with a short, catlike muzzle, a small, black, triangular nose, a scythe-like tail, and sickle-shaped growth on the right side of its head. It has one ear- or horn-like protrusion on pointing upward and one pointing downward, supposedly to hear or sense the exact location a sound is coming from. It has an oval marking on its forehead. Some believe this to be an abnormal development of its right ear, but it is actually a horn, as said in its PokéDex entry. Despite its appearance, this horn is actually very soft to the touch, particularly whenever Absol is not tense or angry. It has a snowy-white coat that is very soft to the touch.

Upon Mega Evolution, Absol's appearance doesn't change much except for larger and more curved horns. It's white fur grows fluffier and longer around its ankles. When Absol Mega evolves, the fur on its back stiffens up and grows out, giving it the appearance of angelic wings. It can glide on the winds, but it lacks the ability to fly.

Shiny Absol's face, tail, claws and oval marking are red instead of dark blue.

Behavior

Absol is a very good-natured Pokémon that warns people of upcoming disasters by appearing before them. When it is not warning people in nearby cities, it is generally a Pokémon that lives in solitude, and spends its time up in the mountains, much like a big cat. Sometimes it may even help people to guard their fields. Unfortunately, some people misunderstand Absol, seeing it as an omen or cause of disaster.

Despite having the ability to Mega Evolve, Absol itself strongly detests this form due to its overall tender nature. But it can still use the power of Mega Evolution to faze and intimidate its enemies, even if it means scaring timid people even more.

Natural Abilities

Absol is capable of sensing an incoming disaster with its horn and attemps to stop it. Its horn can sense changes in the air. It is very swift, and races through lands.

Evolution

Absol cannot evolve, however it can be Mega Evolved during battle as of Pokémon X and Pokémon Y by use of the Absolite held item.

  • 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.
    Mega Evolution: When this Pokémon whips the wing-like fur on its back as though beating its wings, it sends an intimidating aura flying at its opponents.

  • Moon

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

    Swift as the wind, Absol races through fields and mountains. Its curved, bow-like horn is acutely sensitive to the warning signs of natural disasters.

Trivia

Origin

Absol may be based on the Kutabe, a creature that predicted a plague would come to Japan. It was stated to have an eye on its head, similarly to the dot Absol has on its head. It may also be based on the Bai Ze, a creature in Chinese mythology that is usually described as white with one or two horns on its head. It is known for its intelligence and ability to speak to humans.

Absol's distinctive feline appearance and dark color may be based on the superstition that black cats give bad luck if they cross your path, or common depictions of the Sphinx.

Absol's face distantly resembles a yin-yang. This possibly signifies the contrast between its dark reputation and its noble personality. The shape of its horn may be inspired by a scythe, a common weapon associated with depictions of Death.

Its Mega Evolved form resembles most of the origins listed above, though it does grow wings, resembling a Sphinx or an angel. This form might be a reference to a benevolent apocalyptic angel warning good people of the impending Judgement.

Etymology

The name "Absol" could mean absence of sol, or sunlight, which may refer to the fact that there is no sunlight (literally) or happiness (figuratively) in a natural disaster, explains why it is a Dark-type, and also why it is a nocturnal Pokémon. Another possible etymology comes from the word absolve, i.e. Absol is absolved of any responsibility once the people have been warned. The name could also come from absolution. Its name could also mean absolute because white is an absolute color, and in the game the dark blue areas appear black, also an absolute.
