Why are you posting thumbnails, you little cocktease? Do you think this is funny? This is how people wind up with dead families. This is how you get on someone's hit list. Save the full resolution, dammit, before someone ends up with fewer relatives.
I- it's not the same....
What if other FJers have lied to us?
I don't know what to believe anymore.
Is Joshlol not a faggot?
Is jackmanagan actually a nice person who follows the law?
Does comicexplain not read comics?
Is thelizardlord obsessed with The Elder Scrolls and not Fallout?
Is edgeworthy in reality Manfred Von Karma?
Has roxasftw not played through all the Kingdom Hearts games? OH WAIT NO HE HASN'T, GO PLAY BBS YOU PIECE OF **** !
Hey hey. I'll never be von Karma. The only thing I may have lied about was how I am totally not emvious of wright, who gets to love with a bunch of teenage girls.
Absol's design is alright, and the Mega was great potential for a regular evolution, but with its backstory (edge to the max) and all the furry attention it gets, I can't even take Absol seriously anymore.
Absol can be good if you Baton Pass it some stats, especially the mega with its Magic Bounce, making it invulnerable to Parahax, Burning, etc. But other than that, I find its stats to be mediocre and really lacking. It needed its mega to be a regular evolution. And to get that Flying subtype for those wings for STAB Aerial Ace.
Absol has got a pretty damn good base ATK stat (130 @ lv 50), and with it's increased crit ratio on Night Slash+Super Luck its a crazy good sweeper, especially if its going up against ghost/psychic mons.
>its really good if it has a type advantage
It's too slow to be an effective sweeper. Whenever I use it, I find myself relying on Swords Dance and Sucker Punch. And if you ran it with Agility and Swords Dance, you've limited yourself to two coverage moves, which isn't good for any sweeper.
Like I said, Baton Pass Mega Absol some stats and you've got a good thing going, but otherwise, it's just lacking in competitive.
I didn't say if.
I said especially.
And if you're not grabbing an Absol with ATK and SPD IVs and then EV training it for sweeper, then yeah you'd probably have an issue taking enemies down.
Absol should be used against Ghost/Psy Pokemon first, and anything it isn't weak to as a backup. I'll agree that Absol's speed is slightly below average as a total, and that your point about the mega being a regular evolve is a solid point and I'd love to see it, but all in all, Absol is a pretty solid Pokemon without having to use baton pass (not saying you shouldn't).
I'll give you that. I set up my Absol as a sweeper to take out the annoying ghost/psychic types quickly. That being said, I know that Absol isn't the best choice for a sweeper, but it can take out a lot of unprepared opponents quickly, and if you need a dark type I always take Absol.
But a sweeper is supposed to have type variability. Only an idiot would see an Absol faint one of their Psychic/Ghost types and send out anything other than a Fighting type. It's not a sweeper if it has an entire type full of counters.
You are correct, I did say this, and I forgot I said this. That being said, there are still many walls for a charizard. there are many walls for every pokemon, especially every sweeper.
and as for Absol, it will shred well 3/4s of the fighting type. Where it has it's walls, there is certainly not an entire type that can wall it.
Cradily. Rock/Grass Pokemon, base stats emphasize tankyness. IVs in ATK/DEF/HP, EV in ATK/DEF/HP. STAB granted towards Rock type moves, which is multiplied by 4 against Charzy.
Heatran. Fire/Steel Pokemon. Base stats are crazy tanky. IV/EV in defensive stats. No stab granted for Rock moves, but can learn stone edge.
There's two.
and Absol isn't completely walled by fighting type either, as Absol has Psycho Cut in it's moveset, which will devistate a fighting type.
