Absol is a Dark-type Pokemon from the Hoenn region. It does not evolve into or from any other Pokémon. It can Mega Evolve into Mega Absol initially after being given 200 Mega Energy.
Pokédex description[]
Every time Absol appears before people, it is followed by a disaster such as an earthquake or a tidal wave. As a result, it came to be known as the disaster Pokémon.
Normally, it dislikes fighting, so it really hates changing to this form for battles.
