Absol is a Pokémon that has a feline face but looks like a dog. Absol is based on the mythical Chinese beast, Bai Ze, and Barghest, a legendary monstrous dog. ai Ze is a dog-like beast that can predict disasters and Barghest is a black monstrous dog that serves as an omen of death. As the design and development are based on two mythical dog-like creatures it seems likely that Absol is a dog Pokémon, but we can’t say for sure.
