Ultimate Ryan Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 [align=center] Known as the disaster pokemon, is absol really a disaster? It is a dark pokemon representing a wolf with cat-like traits. Its body is dark blue and gray, and it is covered in white fur, with a ruff around its neck and chest, and a tuft on the top of its head adorned with a single blue-black oval. It has a cat-like face, a scythe-like tail and a sickle-shaped growth on the side of its head. Its broad, circular feet are equipped with three claws each, and spikes protrude from the heels of its hind legs and the elbows of its anterior legs. Now here are some reason why it is known to cause disasters...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. Absol first appeared in Jirachi: Wishmaker. The Disaster Pokémon showed up to take Jirachi back to Forina. However, Absol wasn't the true villain of the movie. It was Butler, because he wanted to forcibly extract Jirachi's power to create a Groudon. The Disaster Pokémon also appeared in Absol-ute Disaster. The people of a town were blaming Absol for all the bad things that were happening to their town during the past 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. Now here are its pokedex info sheets from various games 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. 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. 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. Fire Red & Leaf Green - It appears when it senses an impending natural disaster. As a result, it was mistaken as a doom-bringer. Diamond & Pearl - It senses coming disasters and appears before people only to warn them of impending danger. It has no pre-evolution or any evolutions Absol may be based on the Barghest, a monstrous black dog in English folklore. Seeing one was believed to portend imminent death or misfortune, but unlike the Barghest, Absol warns people about disasters. It may be also be based on the black cat superstition. Its independence, habitat, and body seem to be reminiscent of a cougar. Absol's head is modeled after a Taijitu ("yin-yang"). 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. It could also be a shortened form of "absolute", referring to the absolute nature of its species, disaster. ~Discuss!~[/align] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazer Yoshi Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Well, Absol kind of resembles a Dog, and Dogs bark whenever a diaster is going to hit. Remember, Pokemon does have some logic from the real world.Absol was always one of my favorites, it never did anything bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterOfMagicians Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Absol is a wicked looking pokemon, I will admit, but he isn't too impressive when compared with his peers of dual typing.Sneasel and Weavile easily over-power Absol, as would most Ghost/Dark-type pokemon.Umbreon would probably be the closest match to Absol as Dark pokemon come, and the rest seem to over-power him and Umbreon.Absol certainly does have an interesting background story, as I'm sure most pokemon do, but not as dark and colorful as Absol.
