Astrid congratulated her Mega Absol after it managed to withstand a powerful Dragon Claw and a Flamethrower.

Hawlucha tried using Karate Chop, but Mega Absol swiftly dodged this and then jumped on the roof of the nearby castle and used Dark Pulse from a distance. This completely overpowered Hawlucha, and he was knocked out.
In Valuable Experience for All!, Absol competed with its Trainer in the Lumiose Conference. In one of the rounds, it defeated an Amoonguss. In the quarterfinals, it went up against Ash's Hawlucha once more. It unleashed a Psycho Cut, which was avoided before Absol was defeated by Hawlucha's powerful Flying Press, causing Astrid to be eliminated from the League.
