    Oh and also, absol is weak in 1v1s but works best in buffet fights.

    I have to disagree on the night slash psycho cut combo. As an absol main for over a year, the best combo for that moveset is psycho cut-> night slash arc dash-> auto attack-> night slash straight dash. If your auto attack is a boosted attack, go night slash arc dash-> psycho cut-> boosted attack-> night slash straight dash. Both one shot most squishies.

    ur the only one who thinks that bud, most absol have no issue smashing people with it's stupid crit. the only downside to this pokemon is that it's very squishy.

    46 Anonymous Anonymous over 3 yearsReport

    it’s not no skill

    45 Anonymous Anonymous over 3 yearsReport

    This pokemon is so op every time I see it I call it murderer

    44 Anonymous Anonymous over 3 yearsReport

    Absol, also known as the most no-skill Pokemon, currently disrupting and shredding all pokemons with it's one-shot combo, not giving anyone a chance. Night Slash and Psycho Cut and you're done.

    43 stinkytofu stinkytofu over 3 yearsReport

    it is ss tier now

    42 !Choco !Choco over 3 yearsReport

    this pokemon should be ss-tier right now, it's insanely broken with the new night slash psycho cut build

    41 Anonymous Anonymous over 3 yearsReport

    The fact that this is still positioned at A probably with them hesitating whether to put it to S breaks my mind.

    40 Anonymous Anonymous over 3 yearsReport

    I know. Even with the best pokemon in late game he can easily ko

    39 Anonymous Anonymous over 3 yearsReport

    I use muscle band, Attack weight and razor claw with night slash and sucker punch I think it's the best build for absol

    38 stinkytofu stinkytofu over 3 yearsReport

    bro absol is way too op now

    37 kewlboi kewlboi over 3 yearsReport

    man this pokemon is absolutely (no pun intended) busted depending on rng

    36 Anonymous Anonymous almost 4 yearsReport

    Lol psycho cut does far more dmg then sucker punch The prob with it is that it’s hard to land all that dmg

    35 Anonymous Anonymous almost 4 yearsReport

    I agree psycho does a lot of dmg But the main problem is how to make that dmg happen For one absol is fragile so you won’t be standing head to head spamming standard atks, for another if you keep dashing around you won’t have time to use your basic atks so in my opinion sucker punch is better Wanna tell me your opinion abt sucker punch?

    34 Anonymous Anonymous almost 4 yearsReport

    It needs tons of skill I’m an absol main I practiced for abt 3months Tito get the hang of him Oso he uasually didn’t provide much help when fighting Zapdos which kinda nerfs him Don’t get me wrong he’s my favorite

    33 Anonymous Anonymous almost 4 yearsReport

    You don't use psycho cut for direct damage You used it either to slow down the opponent to flee or prevent it from fleeing or to boost your basic attack when you will fight the opponent

    32 Luxio_Absol Luxio_Absol almost 4 yearsReport

    In my opinion absol should be higher than A tier. It can take out Pikachu and mime who are SS tier as long as it has the right positioning

    31 Anonymous Anonymous almost 4 yearsReport

    I use attack weight, focus band, and scoop lens with persuit and psycho cut. 🙏🏼 MQ8KQ4X Add me on

    30 Anonymous Anonymous almost 4 yearsReport

    its because you want the crit items on absol to make it shine
