Absol

Absol is a Dark-type Pokemon introduced in Generation III.

While it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokemon, Absol can Mega Evolve into Mega Absol using the Absolite.

In **Absol Evolved!**, Goh (Zeno Robinson/Daiki Yamashita) caught an Absol to save it from being hit by an eruption of boiling water on Mt. Chimney. It has since made further appearances in Pokemon Journeys: The Series.

Absol debuted in **Jirachi: Wish Maker**, where it showed up to take Jirachi back to Forina. However, Absol, wasn't evil as Ash Ketchum, and his friends were initially led to believe and it helped Jirachi once it returned to Forina.

Absol made its main series debut in **Absol-ute Disaster**. The people of a town were blaming Absol for all of the bad things that were happening to their town during the past month. Ash, his friends, and Nicky went out to verify the accusations. They found out that Absol was actually warning the town about a flood.

In **What I Did for Love!**, Mollie used an Absol during the second round of the Gardenia Town Pokemon Contest. It battled Brock's Marshtomp and lost.

In **May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!**, Drew (Josh Keaton/Mitsuki Saiga) revealed he caught and trained an Absol for the Kanto Grand Festival. It was first used in the Appeals Round. In **Thinning the Hoard!** and **Channeling the Battle Zone!**, it and Flygon were used during a two-on-two Contest Battle against May (Keke Palmer/Midori Kawana), who used Combusken and Squirtle. In the end, Drew lost too many points, resulting in May advancing to the next round.

In the original timeline of **Arceus and the Jewel of Life**, a hypnotized Damos commanded four Absol to attack King Arceus (Corey Burton/Haruhiko Jo) with **Shock Wave**. When Ash and his friends traveled to the past to prevent this, Marcus (Kirk Thornton/Koichi Yamadera), the one responsible for hypnotizing Damos, managed to use the Absol again to attack Arceus.

In **Mega Evolution Special I**, Astrid used an Absol that can Mega Evolve into Mega Absol against Alain and Charizard, but it was defeated. In **Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction**, it was used in a battle against Ash and his Hawlucha, which resulted in Absol winning. In **Valuable Experience for All!**, it had a rematch with Hawlucha during the Lumiose Conference, which resulted in a loss for Absol.

In **The Bonds of Evolution!**, Magnus used an Absol to battle Diantha (Tabitha St. Germain/Sayaka Ohara R.I.P. Lynne Thigpen) and her Gardevoir, but it was soon defeated by Gardevoir's **Moonblast**.

In **Rescuing the Unwilling!** and **10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!**, a Nihilego-possessed Lusamine (Nicole Oliver/Sayaka Kinoshita) ordered her Absol to attack Ash and his classmates. Gladion (Todd Haberkorn/Nobuhiko Okamoto) stayed to battle Absol with his Pokemon before Nihilego was defeated.

In **Mutiny in the Bounty**, J (Jamie Chung/Takako Honda) and her henchmen captured an Absol after Ash's Pikachu, Melodi's Gardevoir, and Team Rocket's Meowth (James Carter Cathcart/Iunko Inuyama R.I.P. Maddie Blaustein and Gilbert Gottfried) got stolen. Absol was eventually returned to its rightful owner after Ash, Team Rocket, and Melodi reunited with their Pokemon and some of J's minions were arrested.
