Absol (Japanese: アブソル Absol) is a Dark-type Pokémon.
While it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, it can Mega Evolve into Mega Absol using the Absolite.
Biology
Absol is a quadruped, mammalian Pokémon with a dark blue to gray 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 sickle-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 natural 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.
In the anime
Major appearances
Absol first appeared 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.
The Disaster Pokémon made its first anime appearance in Absol-ute Disaster. The people of a town were blaming Absol for all the bad things that were happening to their town during the past month. Ash and friends (along with a boy named Nicky) went out to search whether or not the accusations were true. They found out that the Absol was actually warning the town about a flood.
An Absol owned by Mollie appeared in What I Did for Love! She used it in a Contest where it battled Brock's Marshtomp and lost.
Drew captured and trained an Absol for the Kanto Grand Festival, as seen in May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!
Mega Absol is set to make its debut appearance in M17 and SS029, under the ownership of Ayaka
Minor appearances
An Absol appeared in Mutiny in the Bounty, captured by the evil Hunter J and her henchmen after Ash's Pikachu, Melodi's Gardevoir and Team Rocket's Meowth got stolen. The Absol was 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 in Destiny Deoxys and Giratina and the Sky Warrior.

Trivia
- Absol has the highest Attack of any non-legendary Pokémon which is not a part of an evolutionary family.
- Absol's location in many games support its description of appearing where disasters occur:
- In Diamond and Pearl Absol appears near Lake Valor, which was drained by Team Galactic.
- In Platinum Absol appears on Mt. Coronet in places that one can first access when heading to the Spear Pillar, before Giratina is released by Team Galactic.
- In Black and White, Absol can be found at the Giant Chasm, a place where disasters are said to befall Trainers, and Route 13, 13 being known as an unlucky number. Indeed, two years later, the Giant Chasm is where Team Plasma makes its stand.
- In Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, Absol can be found in the Altru Building and Altru Tower, from which Team Dim Sun plans to take control of all Pokémon in the region.
- Absol was the last answer to the Pokémon Trainer's Choice.
- Absol is the only non-legendary Pokémon featured on the box art for Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire, though it often appears in legends.
Origin
Absol is most likely based on the Bai Ze of Chinese mythology, also known as the kutabe or hakutaku. The Bai Ze predicted that a plague would sweep through the Toyama Prefecture of Japan. It is generally described as a white beast that can take the form of a large mountainous lion, distinguished by having one or two horns on its head. 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. The Bai Ze is considered to be intelligent, and gifted with the ability to understand human speech. It may be also derive from the white chamois, a mountain dwelling goat-like animal, which local superstition claims represents the embodiment of death, and should any hunter harm one, they would die within the year. It may be also be based on the black cat superstition. Its head is modeled after a Taijitu ("yin-yang"). 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.
Name origin
Absol may derive from 物騒 bussō (dangerous), or it may be a combination of ab- ("away from") and sol (Latin for sun), referring to its Dark-type nature, or may also be a reference to a solar eclipse, as many cultures feared a solar eclipse was a sign of end-times or disaster. It may also be a shortening of absolution or absolve, referring to the fact that while Absol foretells disasters, it does not cause them, thereby absolving it of guilt. It may also derive from Absalom, a name which is said to bring bad luck, according to Jewish tradition.
