I would highly suggest swapping Absol for something such as Terrakion instead. Terrakion has roughly the same base power but better stats in all other areas. If you're worried about Zacian, you can always run Cobalion or stick with Terrakion but have a mode for Zacian. Absol is just simply not enough to do well in a format full of legendaries which dish out a ton of damage. It's not fast, nor bulky and it can probably at most knock down one of the opponent's pokemon before going down.
That would remove the entire point of the team. Making a bad pokemon, and surrounding it in an  environment to make it good. Swapping Absol with Terreakkion would not only ruin the element of surprise it would just be a team of good pokemon steryotipically. (Sorry if this comes out wrong I just woke up)
