In animation
Pokémon UNITE Opening Cinematic
An Absol appeared in the "Pokémon UNITE Opening Cinematic", partaking in a Unite Battle on Remoat Stadium on the purple team. They chased a Talonflame off the bottom path and into the lower beach area while they were still a Fletchling, then defeated it with a slashing attack. Absol charged power in its horn to attack a Pikachu, but a Lucario attacked it from above using an aura projectile before it could act. The Absol was not seen after the explosion.
Trivia
- Midnight Slash is similar to Night Slash.
