Hey, that's actually plausible.[[User:Kiryu|Kiryu]] 22:33, 14 October 2008 (UTC) | Hey, that's actually plausible.[[User:Kiryu|Kiryu]] 22:33, 14 October 2008 (UTC) | ||
I get the feeling Absol's name actually derives from Japanese words exclusively, being abunai ('dangerous', often used as a warning interjection) and osoru ('to fear' or 'to be afraid'). It seems kind of appropriate for a creature that warns others of danger and is indeed feared. >>; {{unsigned|StellarWind}} | |||

This pokemon is one of the few pokemon that can have critical hit moves used in combination with Super Luck and a Razor Claw or Scope Lens ang get a 50% chance to critical hit.

:Hmmm.. I don't agree with this. Let's take Night Slash, with level 2 of Critical hit (12,5%). Absol has Super Luck, so it makes NS one level up (25%); an item increases by another one level (33,3%). So you still need one Dire hit or Focus Energy to make it level 5 (50%). BTW it is the irony that Absol cannot learn Focus Energy... Generation V pre-evos, please fix it...

I don't know if someone could fix it, but the shiny sprite for Emerald seem to flicker out of sequence when it is rotating, as if the sprites are in the wrong order.

:I haven't played Emerald in a while, but actually I remember its sprite moving more like the shiny than the normal one. --[[User:Fsilone90|Fsilone90]] 04:37, 17 August 2010 (UTC) | |||
:Its supposed to that. The Normal sprite is the one that's wrong. Its supposed to look like it has the afterimages. [[User:JessiPlatinum|JessiPlatinum]] 14:33, 9 August 2011 (UTC) | |||
== Absol/Mothman == | |||
Has anyone else noticed that Absols abillity to sense an warn people about disasters is simmiler to the mothman appering before dissasters. Could this be a posible origin to Absols behavior?--'''[[User:EpicShadow|<span style="color:black">Epic</span>]][[User talk:EpicShadow|<span style="color:blue">Shadow</span>]]''' 04:43, 12 November 2010 (UTC) | |||
== Dew Claw? == | |||
On Absol's footprint sprite, it appears to have a dew claw. On the sprites and the pictures in the article this isn't there. I haven't watched the anime in a long time and have never seen Absol on the show. I was wondering if anyone had noticed whether or not he had a dew claw when seen from a different angle.{{Unsigned|Sammy0295}} | |||

Also, what?[[User:Blitzamirin|<span style="color:#399999"> ~ Blitzamirin ~ </span>]] 21:20, 29 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
::"[A dewclaw] commonly grows high on the leg so that in digitigrade species, when the animal is standing, '''it does not make contact with the ground'''." (from Wiki) So the extra bit in the footprint can't be a dewclaw. It would have to be something hidden in the fur lining of its foot.

== Mega Absol == | |||
3'11" (1.2m; technically height stays the same) and 108.0 lbs. ({{tt|unknown metric weight, no older Pokémon has that weight|between Granbull (107[dot]4 lbs or 48[dot]7 kg) and Hippopotas (109[dot]1 lbs or 49[dot]5kg)}}).

== DP Little Girl Swarm == | |||
Does the little girl say that there's a swarm of them at a certain time of day/game time and does it repeat?

== Yin-Yang Face == | |||
I think this is worth adding into the Origin section myself, but I'm not sure. Absol has a headscythe coming out of its right, and white hair hanging long on its left. To me, this is much of a design of a yin-yang. Especially with the black dot in the white hair. Is it worth anything? --[[User:Aescula|Aescula]] ([[User talk:Aescula|talk]]) 07:14, 30 October 2013 (UTC) | |||
:This is already mentioned in the Origin section. It would be redundant to add it again. --<b>[[User talk:Relicant|<span style="color:#EBEBEB;">The</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Relicant|<span style="color:#F08030;">Truth</span>]]</b> aka Relicant 07:38, 30 October 2013 (UTC) | |||
== Mega Absol = Griffin? == | |||
Just need to ask. Does Mega Absol have resemblance to mythological griffins? Given that Absol is cat-based (cougars, more specifically), its Mega form could have some resemblance to feline-like griffins.

== Possibly a combination of a ram and a lion == | |||
I was starting to think that Absol may have drawn inspiration from colorpoint cats, but now I'm under the impression that it's a combination of a {{wp|Scottish_Blackface|Blackface Mountain Ram}} and a white lion. The Bai Ze/Hakutaku's body is somewhat ram-like and often combines lion-like features and the blackface ram would explain Absol's dark face and curved horn(s). {{unsigned|Icycatelf}} | |||
== Biology Section: Pacing Gait? == | |||
It is mentioned in the biology section: "It walks with a pacing gait like that of a camel." What is the source for this? It's official walking animation does not look like this, being closer to the typical walking or trotting gait of a dog, and watching it run in the anime it actually uses a galloping gait. Just curious where this piece of information came from and why it would be noteworthy (if even true). | |||

As a buddy Pokemon in Pokemon GO, it gallops when running and paces when walking. It also seems to pace in [[M06]], when not running or climbing. Pacing is an uncommon gait among real animals, which would make it noteworthy.[[User:Sumanuil|Sumanuil]] ([[User talk:Sumanuil|talk]]) 21:42, 24 June 2021 (UTC) | |||
I was looking through some anime videos (hard to come by any of Absol walking instead of running/jumping lol), and this is the best one I could find. Go to about 1:06 for the scene. | |||
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VAMpFFsV5E | |||
It definitely is NOT walking with a pacing gait. | |||
And Another video, this one actually from Pokemon GO, you can clearly see it ALSO does not walk with a pacing gait here. | |||

Then remove it. But that second video sure looks like pacing to me. Hard to tell from the front, though. [[User:Sumanuil|Sumanuil]] ([[User talk:Sumanuil|talk]]) 00:21, 25 June 2021 (UTC) | |||
