Strategy Overview

Mega Absol has fantastic offensive stats and the movepool to back it up. Its expansive attack options include Knock Off, Sucker Punch, Ice Beam, Fire Blast, Superpower, and Play Rough. Swords Dance boosts its already high Attack to insane levels. Magic Bounce further strengthens its offensive presence by bouncing Thunder Wave, Will-O-Wisp, and even Stealth Rock back at the opponent, frustrating lead Pokemon such as Froslass. However, Mega Absol's immense frailty means that it struggles to take even neutral hits, making it nearly impossible to switch into attacks. It also has poor Speed before Mega Evolving, meaning it is forced to use Sucker Punch on faster threats.
