Absol (Pokémon)

Absol debuted in Jirachi: Wish Maker, where it showed up to take Jirachi back to Forina. However, Absol wasn't evil as Ash and his friends were initially led to believe, and it helped Jirachi once it returned to Forina.

Absol made its main series debut in Absol-ute Disaster. The people of a town were blaming Absol for all of the bad things that were happening to their town during the past month. Ash, his friends, and Nicky went out to verify the accusations. They found out that Absol was actually warning the town about a flood.

In What I Did for Love!, Mollie used an Absol during the second round of the Gardenia Town Pokémon Contest. It battled Brock's Marshtomp and lost.

In May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!, Drew revealed he caught and trained an Absol for the Kanto Grand Festival. It was first used in the Appeals Round. In Thinning the Hoard! and Channeling the Battle Zone!, it and Flygon were used during a two-on-two Contest Battle against May, who used Combusken and Squirtle. In the end, Drew lost too many points, resulting in May advancing to the next round.

In the original timeline of Arceus and the Jewel of Life, a hypnotized Damos commanded four Absol to attack Arceus with Shock Wave. When Ash and his friends traveled to the past to prevent this, Marcus, the one responsible for hypnotizing Damos, managed to use the Absol again to attack Arceus.

In Mega Evolution Special I, Astrid used an Absol that can Mega Evolve into Mega Absol against Alain and Charizard, but it was defeated. In Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction, it was used in a battle against Ash and his Hawlucha, which resulted in Absol winning. In Valuable Experience for All!, it had a rematch with Hawlucha during the Lumiose Conference, which resulted in a loss for Absol.

In The Bonds of Evolution!, Magnus used an Absol to battle Diantha and her Gardevoir, but it was soon defeated by Gardevoir's Moonblast.

In Rescuing the Unwilling! and 10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!, a Nihilego-possessed Lusamine ordered her Absol to Ash and his classmates. Gladion stayed to battle Absol with his Pokémon before Nihilego was defeated.

In Absol Absolved!, Goh caught an Absol to save it from being hit by an eruption of boiling water on Mt. Chimney. It has since made further appearances in Pokémon Journeys: The Series.

In Mutiny in the Bounty, J and her henchmen captured an Absol after Ash's Pikachu, Melodi's Gardevoir, and Team Rocket's Meowth got stolen. Absol was eventually returned to its rightful owner after Ash, Team Rocket, and Melodi reunited with their Pokémon and some of J's minions were arrested.

He made no attempt to resist her efforts and let himself be captured after Y asked him to help battle Team Flare, which he was nicknamed Solsol. Later, he was given an Absolite, enabling him to Mega Evolve into Mega Absol.

Absol reappears at the start of this chapter, where it was perched atop of a building, foreshadowing another disaster coming to Hoenn. It later appeared in front of Gabby and Ty, warning them of the upcoming disaster, and has the two ride on its back to head off to somewhere else.

Ryū owns an Absol as a puck in ABM12.

Absol is one of Koya's main Pokémon. It is used in his battles at the Pokémon League, and in subsequent battles against Team Galactic. It first appeared in A New Battle Begins!.

Absol appeared in Battle in a Bitter Cold Land!!. When it first saw Ginji's scar, it was scared of him because Gengar told it that Ginji will destroy the world, but after Ginji explained that he is going to see Ninetales to find out the truth, Absol tells him that everyone thinks that it's causing the natural disasters and that they don't like it because of that misunderstanding. It then helps Ginji and Mudkip in their battle against Articuno.
