What is a good moveset for Absol?

0 votes

Mine has the ability Super Luck. It knows:

Swords Dance: Greatly increases attack.

Sucker Punch: Overcomes Absol's lower Speed stat.

Psycho Cut: Deals with Fighting types. Critical hit ratio increased by Super Luck.

Will-o-wisp: Inflics toxic burn which helps with Absol's low Defense stat.

Although its not what you asked, if you give it scopelens or other crit-raising items and spam night slash or Psycho cut the crit- rate is amazing.
Absol (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Super Luck
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Stone Edge
- Sucker Punch
- Psycho Cut
- Superpower
swords dance is completely usless because you have no physical moves
Both Psycho Cut and Sucker Punch are physical, what are you talking about?

A set I found:

Absol (M) @ Scope Lens/Life Orb
Trait: Super Luck
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Stone Edge
- Night Slash
- Psycho Cut
- Hone Claws

Life Orb makes this doggie hit even harder. Super Luck is great with the Scope Lens and this set. EVs and nature give this guy some speed. Stone Edge is Coverage against Bugs. Night Slash is STAB. Psycho Cut is Coverage against Fighting types. The aforementioned moves also have high crit rates, making this guy get a crit about every 2/3 turns. Hone Claws is to increase Attack even more, and raise the accuracy of Stone Edge. Life Orb is for competitive, because, sadly, Scope Lens is banned :(

Wel, with super luck, add Night Slash instead of Sucker Punch for a HUGE Critical hit Ratio. Then your great except if you want, you can add in Aerial Ae to cover fighting and bug types.

Sucker Punch: Coming off of Absols high attack and low Speed, this STAB priority is amazing.

Psycho Cut: Gets that critical-hit boost, and takes care of Poison and Fighting types.

Swords Dance: OHKO Sucker Punch anyone?

Superpower: Provides great type coverage.

There really is only one other option, although it is a really good option: Stone Edge, which provides good type coverage and has a high critical-hit rate. Also, you could replace Sucker Punch with Night Slash if you want to press your luck.

Absol (M) @

Trait : Super Luck

Role : Physical Sweeper

Moves:

  • Swords Dance
  • Aerial Ace/ Bounce
  • Taunt
  • Sucker Punch/Night Slash

Okay.....
Swords Dance is for obvious reasons
Aerial Ace / Bounce is for coverage ( Accuracy or Power, you choose)
Taunt works as insurance for sucker puncher
sucker punch is for priority + support from Taunt
or night slash if you want another move, where you wont need taunt+ sucker punch combo....


Okay, i know there are better movesets for absol, but anyway.....

Hope this helps :)

That's a good movest that's why I upvoted seen as fly covers bug and fight but I wouldn't use bounce seen as that gives the foe a chance to switch in to lets say a rock type that can ko you plus I don't think it's 100%acc good answer

Here is a set I found:

Night Slash-STAB and with its ability Super Luck, it will get a critical Hit almost every time

Psycho Cut- it also gets a critical hit boost and for those Bulky Fighting types

Megahorn/Fire Blast/Aerial Ace- Megahorn for coverage and the others for Bug types, Aerial Ace more recommended

Swords Dance-Dance it up!

Absol @ Life Orb

Trait: Super Luck

EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe

Jolly Nature (+Spe, -SpA)

  • Swords Dance
  • Sucker Punch
  • Superpower
  • Night Slash/Substitute/Psycho Cut/Zen Headbutt

Okay, you know the drill with Swords Dance it boosts Absol's already great attack.
Sucker Punch lets Absol outspeed faster threats, and is STAB.
Superpower compliments Sucker Punch nicely by hitting Steel types and a cup of other types super effectively.
Night Slash allows Absol to get trough opponents who try to stall out its Sucker Punches, and such cases can actually be pretty off-pissing so it's an option worth considering.
Substitute lets Absol block status and it's an excellent protection for attacks.
Psycho Cut can be used to give coverage for Poison types who roam in the tier, and coverage on Fighting types as well.
Zen Headbutt can be used if a specific KO is important, or if it is just preffered because of the extra power and flinching chance.
