Absol

Got rid of The Special Sweeper set

Just added 2 sets: A snatch Stat Booster and a Magic Coat Lead

I think they could see some use for unpredictability (one question, is unpredictability even a word?)

Also: stone edge is useful now because:
* Salamence is offically OU again so it can super effect that(off-topic, YES!! I knew it would happen)
* shandera is very common and would not stay in unless it has HP fighting
* landlos takes neutral damage while superpower is resisted

However with superpower:
* Doryuuzu is 4x weak to it and if you can get rid of the sandstorm, absol can OHKO easily
* blissey can not wall absol as easily, but it could not wall it well anyway
* hits registeel who completely walls absol without superpower

lol wat? Dude, (Or gal) Shandera is GHOST/Fire. GHOST! Dark is super effective!

Landorus takes more damage from Absol's other attack, especially STABS.

And....
Absol MAX attack +1 Sucker Punch vs 4/0 Salamence 100.9% - 119%
Absol MAX attack +1 Stone Edge vs 4/0 Salamence 169.2% - 199.4%

Really, there is no point to Stone Edge. Absol has no need for it, its STABs are already enough.
