Day 35: Mega Absol

Clearly someone at Gamefreak finally got the chance to make their DeviantArt, Kingdom Hearts, Warrior Cats, Animal Jam, Sephiroth, My Chemical Romance, Hot Topic, emo furry OC real, and they jumped at the opportunity

Used this before in Mystery Dungeon DX, thanks to the Absol you gain access to mid-story. Very fun stuff. Sucker Punch blazed through EVERYTHING.

God I need a lot of Pokemon still for the SwSd Home Dex.

On one hand, like 15~ of em are shared between the DLCs

On the other hand, it's really hard to get some of them via the GTS

This is a mega I feel could have worked as a regular evolution.

I do like it though. It doesn't build off of the base Absol design too much but I really love Absol so I'm still happy with it.

From a game design standpoint it is neat how they made it a mixed attacker so it can use its wide special movepool, made it really satisfying to use this mega in my playthrough of Alpha Sapphire. It definitely is a bit on the weaker side for a mega though.

tbh, I feel like all "Pokemon who don't have a natural evolution" could have benefitted from their Megas becoming an actual evolution.....


Except Khang.


Never Khang.

To this day I still wonder if Kang is ever getting a pre-evo based off the baby.

It makes no sense that it's born a grown adult with a kid, unless they wanna tell me that the joey is physically a part of the adult.

Iirc the beta leak for Gen 1 showed the Baby was a pre-evo of Cubone so

Yeah it's scrapped content but it feels like that was the original intention.

To me, at this point it comes across as something like Falinks or Tandemaus where it's made up of multiple Pokémon.
