Champions [OU] Mega Absol Z

Absol-Mega-Z @ Absolite Z
Ability: Justified
Level: 50
EVs: 31 Atk / 3 Def / 32 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Shadow Claw
- Sucker Punch / Knock Off
- Close Combat

Mega Absol Z has the edge over the tier thanks to its Ghost typing and superb Speed tier! Swords Dance allows it to slice through would-be checks in Mega Meganium and Primarina with Shadow Claw, further boosted by Sharpness. Sucker Punch punishes opposing priority moves such as Aegislash's and Ceruledge's Shadow Sneak and picks off faster foes such as boosted Mega Charizard X. Knock Off can be used for consistent damage while removing items such as Garchomp's Rocky Helmet. Close Combat beats Dark- and Normal-types such as Kingambit and Mega Lopunny. The Defense investment allows Mega Absol Z to survive Mega Lopunny's Mach Punch after Stealth Rock. Mega Absol Z, while good on bulky offense, still struggles against Choice Scarf Hisuian Samurott and Hydreigon, meaning Fairy-types such as Clefable and Primarina are good teammates. Clefable can also switch into Garchomp and Corviknight, while Primarina can pivot Mega Absol Z in against Galarian Slowking thanks to Flip Turn. Aegislash is a great teammate, switching into Fairy- and Fighting-types such as bulky Mega Floette and Mega Staraptor while wearing down the same Dark-types that Mega Absol Z struggles with.

Mega Absol Z has the edge over the tier thanks to its Ghost-typing and superb speed tier! Swords Dance allows it to slice through would-be checks in Mega Meganium and Clefable (still a check if unaware, though. How about Primarina?) with Shadow Claw, boosted further by Sharpness. Sucker Punch punishes opposing priority such as Aegislash and Ceruledge’s Shadow Sneak and picks off faster foes such as boosted Mega Charizard X. Knock Off can be used for consistent damage while removing items such as Garchomp’s Rocky Helmet. Close Combat beats Dark- and Normal-types such as Kingambit and Mega Lopunny. The defense investment allows Mega Absol Z to survive Mega Lopunny’s Mach Punch after Stealth Rock. Mega Absol Z, while good on bulky offense, still struggles against Choice Scarf Hisuian Samurott and Hydreigon, meaning Fairy-types such as Clefable and Primarina are good teammates. The former can set Stealth Rock to wear down foes, (never just blanket mention SR support; it’s an obvious statement that applies to any offensive pokemon. Instead, mention Clefable being a good switch-in to walls like Corviknight and Garchomp. Probably can’t fit it here but essentially its Fairy / Fire coverage with good physical bulk makes Clefable a great defensive pivot against the walls that Zabsol can’t always brute force past) while Primarina can pivot Mega Absol Z in against Galarian Slowking thanks to Flip Turn. Aegislash is a great teammate, switching into Fairy- and Fighting-types such as bulky Mega Floette and Mega Staraptor, while wearing down the same Dark-types that Mega Absol Z struggles with.
