Absol is Astrid's main Pokémon. It is able to Mega Evolve into Mega Absol with the help of Astrid's Key Stone and the Absolite it holds. Astrid considers Absol to be her strongest Pokémon.
In Mega Evolution Special I, Astrid sent it out to battle Alain's Charizard. Both Pokémon first blocked each other's attacks, with Alain complimenting Absol for how strong it was. Alain then proposed to Astrid to Mega Evolve their Pokémon, and so she did. It quickly became apparent that Mega Absol was no match for Mega Charizard X's sheer power, even though it managed to withstand a Dragon Claw and a Flamethrower. When Mega Absol tried to use Dark Pulse, Alain had his Mega Charizard X quickly counter it with Blast Burn, which completely overwhelmed Mega Absol. It fell down and reverted back to its regular form, defeated. Even though it lost, Astrid reassured Absol it fought well.
In Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction, Absol was the last Pokémon Astrid used in her battle against Ash. Ash brought out his Hawlucha to battle it. Right after it was called out, Astrid Mega Evolved it. Hawlucha attacked with a High Jump Kick, but Mega Absol countered this with Night Slash.

This completely overpowered Hawlucha, and it was knocked out.

Pyroar was the first Pokémon Astrid used in her battle against Ash. He went up against Ash's Pikachu. Pikachu was able to swiftly dodge Pyroar's Flamethrower and Fire Fang. He then used Electro Ball, which knocked Pyroar out.

Meowstic was the second Pokémon Astrid used in her battle against Ash. She was pitted against Ash's Froakie. Meowstic and Froakie rapidly exchanged Cut and Scratch, but neither was able to lay a hit. Ash then had Froakie use Water Pulse, which Meowstic dodged. Froakie used another Water Pulse which Meowstic now countered with Charge Beam. The Charge Beam overpowered Froakie's Water Pulse and hit Froakie, knocking it out.
