* Absol has the highest Attack of any non-legendary Pokémon that is not a part of an evolutionary family.
*Absol shares some similarities with {{p|Tropius}}:
**Both were introduced in [[Generation III]].
**In {{g|Ruby and Sapphire}}, each were only found on one route, each route having heavy rainfall and their northern exit leading to [[Fortree City]], each with a low appearance rate (Absol is on [[Route 120]] and Tropius on [[Route 119]]).
**Neither one is involved in an evolutionary line.
**Both of their type combinations are fairly uncommon (Absol, Poochyena, Mightyena, Umbreon, and Darkrai are the only pure {{t|Dark}}-types, and Tropius shares its {{2t|Grass|Flying}} type combination with just the {{p|Hoppip}} {{p|Skiploom|evolution}} {{p|Jumpluff|family}} and {{p|Shaymin}}'s Sky Forme).
**Both of them were made into [[Shadow Pokémon]] in {{g|Colosseum}}, at a level in the high forties (Absol at 48 and Tropius at 49), and both were found in [[Realgam Tower]]'s colosseum.
**Both of them have a curved object or objects attached to their heads (Absol has a sickle on top of its head, and Tropius has a bunch of banana-esque fruits hanging underneath)
**Both of them had only one ability when first introduced in Generation III, but were given a second one in [[Generation IV]], with the english name of the ability starting with the letter "S", and consisting of two words.  Also, in both cases, this ability was exclusive to Absol/Tropius, and a two-member evolution family, where the lowest form was introduced in [[Generation II]], where the type or types does not change, where at least one type is shared and where the usage of an [[evolution stone]] is required (Absol, {{p|Murkrow}}, and {{p|Honchkrow}} are the only Pokémon with {{a|Super Luck}}, all of them are {{type|Dark}}, and Murkrow uses a Dusk Stone to evolve into Honchkrow.  Likewise, Tropius, {{p|Sunkern}}, and {{p|Sunflora}} are the only Pokémon with {{a|Solar Power}}, all three are {{type|Grass}}, and Sunkern uses a Sun Stone to evolve into Sunflora..  Interestingly, Murkrow and Honchkrow are {{type|Flying}} and Sunkern and Sunflora are not, the opposite of Absol and Tropius's situation).
**Both are quadrupedal.
