-===Character of the Day: Candice===
+===Gotta Catch 'Em All!: Absol===
-* '''Candice''' (Japanese: '''スズナ''' ''Suzuna'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Snowpoint City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Snowpoint Gym]]. She hands out the {{badge|Icicle}} and [[TM72]] ({{m|Avalanche}}) to Trainers who defeat her. She specializes in {{type|Ice}} Pokémon.
+* '''Absol''' (Japanese: '''アブソル''' ''Absol'') is a {{type|Dark}} Pokémon. It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
-* She sometimes muses that she acts the opposite of the way people would expect an Ice-type Gym Leader to behave - warm and friendly instead of [[Pryce|cold and distant]]. She also seems to enjoy talking in third person.
+* It is #359 in the [[National dex]], #152 in the Hoenn dex and #209 in the Sinnoh dex. It can have the [[Ability|Abilities]] {{a|Pressure}} or {{a|Super Luck}} and it has {{a|Justified}} as its Hidden Ability.
-* Candice made her debut appearance in ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]'' where she was revealed to be a teacher in Snowpoint City's Trainers' School. She is also a childhood friend of [[Zoey]] and calls her by the nickname "Zo-Zo" (Japanese: '''ノゾチ''' ''Nozotchi'').
+* Using its horn, Absol is able to predict when a natural disaster will occur and tries to warn people when one is approaching. This often has the unfortunate effect of Absol itself being blamed for the disaster.
-* {{Ash}} battled her in a 4 on 4 battle in ''[[DP127|Sliding Into Seventh!]]'' where he was able to defeat her and earn himself his seventh Badge.
+* Absol made its debut in the movie ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' where it helped Jirachi get back to [[Forina]]. It made its TV debut ''[[AG107|Absol-ute Disaster]]'' where the people of a town blamed Absol for all the bad things that had happened during the past month.
-* She first appeared in a [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga when she saved {{adv|Platinum}} after she was skiing on {{rt|217|Sinnoh}} and angered a pack of {{p|Graveler}}. Platinum then challenged her to a Gym battle and won.
+* {{TCG|Absol}} has been featured on {{#expr: {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Absol (TCG)}} - 1}} different cards since it debuted in the {{TCG|EX Dragon}} expansion of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. Absol cards are normally {{ct|Darkness}} {{TCG|Basic Pokémon}}.
-* Candice has appeared on two [[Froslass GL (Rising Rivals 6)|TCG]] [[Mamoswine GL (Rising Rivals 27)|cards]] in the {{TCG|Rising Rivals}} set. She has yet to have her own card.
+* {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Absol|8}} has had one figure in the [[Trading Figure Game]] series as part of the {{TFG|Next Quest}} expansion set.
-* Candice is the only Gym Leader from Sinnoh that Ash did not have a 3-on-3 battle with. Instead, it was a 4-on-4.
+* Although several of Absol's Pokédex entries claim that it can sense disaster, it cannot have the abilites {{a|Anticipation}} or {{a|Forewarn}}.
