  1. Pokémon Absol

    Though not entirely certain, I did a little digging and I'm willing suggest Arcanine and Dragalge as good alternate teammates for Absol, since they both can switch in on an attack that Absol is weak to. Arcanine's Fire type lets it resist Fairy and Bug while its Intimidate can help it come in...

    Yeah, I probably shouldn't have even said anything about it, sorry. I did a couple damage calculations (hopefully they're accurate) and it seems that Fake Out is just too weak of a move even with Mega Kangaskhan's STAB, Attack, and baby to OHKO Galvantula. Kangaskhan'll only deal 60-70% of it's...

    I'm going to look into it a little more, since a lot of people seem to like Sticky Web, but it seems like the only defense against a maxed Speed Focus Sash Galvantula is something faster than it with a reliable multi-hit move, or something faster than it with Fake Out. Perhaps a lead with Snatch...

    Hey there. All my alert preferences are checked, but I was offline until now, sorry. Also, I tried to explain the difference between Magic Guard and Magic Bounce (two different abilities) but these profile messages have a very tiny character limit. Absol has Magic Bounce. Again, not a big...

  6. Pokémon Absol

    I appreciate the feedback. It's definitely not optimal, but I was hoping to break the mold a little bit and use really strong special attacks to catch people off guard, since Absol has always set a big expectation of being a really strong physical attacker. But the more I think about it, some of...

    Hi! You posted a brilliant question on the Absol thread about how to deal with Galvantula, one that I lost sleep last night trying to find a good answer for. I'll be sharing what my thoughts on the thread shortly, but I just wanted to make a small correction first. You said that Absol had Magic...

  8. Pokémon Absol

    Hi guys, I just joined today and I'm quite new to competitive battling but I have a question about Mega Absol that I didn't see anyone bring up yet. I'm wondering if Absol's newfound Special Attack could be useful in a Calm Mind set? Absol learns a lot of high accuracy and powerful special moves...
