Absol Best Nature and Moveset for Story

Adamant or Jolly

Nature Stat Changes
Adamant ↑ Attack, ↓ SpAtk
Jolly ↑ Speed, ↓ SpAtk

Since Absol is a Fast Physical Attacker, its best Nature is either Adamant or Jolly to boost its Attack or Speed further, while reducing its Special Attack stat.

Alternative Natures

Nature Stat Changes
Lonely ↑ Attack, ↓ Defense
Naughty ↑ Attack, ↓ SpDef

You can also give Absol either Lonely or Naughty nature, if you will mainly use it for Story Content.

Keep in mind that giving Absol any of the above two natures will increase the damage it receives, making it less ideal for Competitive Play and harder post-game content.

Use Mints to Change Natures

Mint Usage

If your Absol has a different Nature than the ones we recommend above, you can use a Mint to change its Nature.
Mints Locations and How to Change Nature

Best Absol Moveset for the Story

Move Type Cooldown
Night Slash Pokemon Dark Type Icon 7
Knock Off Pokemon Dark Type Icon 10
Swords Dance Pokemon Normal Type Icon 15
Play Rough Pokemon Fairy Type Icon 8

We recommend the moves Play Rough, Night Slash, Swords Dance, and Knock Off when using Absol during the main story.
