Absol's Mixed Sweeper set notes that "Psycho Cut is for the omnipotent Poison- and Fighting-types, namely Hariyama and Drapion, while Night Slash gives Absol a strong secondary attack against slower opponents instead of relying on Sucker Punch."

Now, I'm pretty new and inexperienced all around, and worry I've missed something, somewhere, but I'm pretty sure Drapion's Dark-type makes Psycho Cut a rather ineffective counter to it. I'm not entirely sure if there are any Poison-types to replace Drapion with in this context, just to keep the sentence mostly as is, but I figure it might at least be worth it to point out inaccurate info and suggestions, even if it's just an example.
