Absol (Japanese: アブソル Absol) is a Dark-type Pokémon.
Pokédex entries
- Pokémon Ruby
- 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.
- Pokémon Sapphire
- Absol has the ability to foretell the coming of natural disasters. It lives in a harsh, rugged mountain environment. This Pokémon very rarely ventures down from the mountains.
- Pokémon Emerald
- It sharply senses even subtle changes in the sky and the land to predict natural disasters. It is a long-lived Pokémon that has a life-span of 100 years.
- Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen
- It appears when it senses an impending natural disaster. As a result, it was mistaken as a doom-bringer.
Name origin
Absol's name may be derived from 物騒 bussō, dangerous, but much debate exists over the true origin of its name. One common theory is that it is a combination of ab-, a prefix meaning away/from, and sol, meaning sun. This could imply that Absol is away from the sun, reinforcing its Dark-type nature.
Absol is based on the Barghest, a monstrous black dog in English folklore. Seeing one was believed to portend imminent death or misfortune.

Type effectivenessEvolutionIn the anime
Absol first appeared in Jirachi: Wishmaker. The Disaster Pokémon showed up to take Jirachi back to Forina. However, Absol wasn't the true villian of the movie. It was Butler, because he wanted to forceably extract Jirachi's power to create a Groudon.
The Disaster Pokémon also appeared in AG107. The people of a town were blaming Absol for all the bad things that were happening to there town during the pass month. Ash and co. (along with a boy named Nicky) went out to search whether or not the accusations were true. They found out that the Absol were actually warning the town about a flood. All of Ash's May's and Brock's Pokémon that had long-range attacks (plus a Heracross belonging to Nicky's brother, Gordon) helped Absol move a boulder in front of oncoming torrent of water.
Drew captured and trained an Absol for the Kanto Grand Festival.
In the TFG
