Mega Set

Naive is an option for Mega Absol, but the crit set is really cool. Seems like a discussion topic.

I agree. With the justified ability and holding absolite.

Ya absols are generally adamant, naive or jolly I tend to stick with natures that hinder either attack or special attack since I don't like absol as a mixer

Can you edit the thread to fit the template please and thank you.

And I've never used Absol so idk about the set

I just like it's great usage of flamethrower. But it's whatever. It can run all of them very well.

I agree with adding a naive set for mega absol. I've never used absol without going mega so I don't know if it's good. Shouldn't the item for the crit set be scope lens though?

If we go with the mega evolution and naive nature do you guys want the justified ability? Also what iv spread should we go with then?

Yes, justified is preferred. I would be ok with 5IVs missing spdef. Don't know about the others though

Oh, 5 IV is all we're asking here. If you want 6 IV you can do it on your own time.

The only way I've ever used Absol is with a mega evolution, so I don't have a ton of experience with the non-mega version, but I think the set you have for a non-mega Absol looks good.

I'd probably add another set for the mega set potentially, and maybe do a poll to which one more people want if you only want to breed the one (like the others with polls).

Non mega absol is too frail to be much use, I use mine as a calm mind baton pass lead (gimmick set) but it runs flamethrower instead of any physical attacks and has a Timid nature to try and get it set up and out before it hits too much trouble.

Mega absol has the same frailty problem but hits hard! Again I've tried multiple sets of absol to try to make it work but it seems to lack something to set it apart from other mega's. Although out of everything i've tried either the Mixed Naive set or the Modest Special set have worked the best. (surprising since at first glance it looks like it would be a better physical attacker) Then again I'm not a great battler so might have something to do with it.

Updated OP with a poll pick the set you would like more!

I vote for the mega set. And Absol learns Sucker Punch via level up, so maybe you could replace that one with another move? All it really has is Zen Heabutt though, which probably doesn't provide very useful coverage anyways...

Psycho cut is better imo. And the crit set is more of a wall breaker, the mega gets more use, I'm fine with the mega set.

Looks like the mega set is gonna win... Anyone have a hidden ability absol with decent ivs or a 6iv naive ditto?

Got an absol breeding reject. Add me

I can try to breed in psycho punch instead of sucker punch if you guys want.

Absol done I went with the mega set due to voting

Do you have the pokemon bred and finished up? To speed up the distribution process, we will be collecting the completed pokemon as they get finished, so let's coordinate the transfer of this pokemon over to me at your nearest convenience. Thank you!

I have collected the Absol.
