Like all mega evolutions, Mega Absol can’t be caught and, instead, you need to collect its specific Mega Energy by defeating it in mega raids. Once you have the right amount of mega candy you can enact its evolution for a short period of time. Below you’ll find Mega Absol’s counters and weaknesses, so you can defeat it in Pokémon Go and, don’t forget, you can use a Remote Raid Pass to join Mega Raids across the world. On this page:
Mega Absol type - Dark-type Mega Absol is weak against - Bug, fighting and fairy-type Mega Absol counters - Machamp, Pinsir, Granbull, Scizor, Gardevoir, Lucario, Togekiss, Yanmega, Conkeldurr and Zacian Other Mega Absol notes - The best way to tackle Mega Absol is by using a mixture of fighting and fairy-type Pokémon, since, thanks to Go Battle League, you’ll most likely have these Pokémon already trained up.
Mega Absol CP - 48,520
It’s important to remember that, if you win the raid, you’ll receive Absol Mega Energy rather than an encounter with Absol. Due to this, Mega Absol doesn’t have any catch-related CP levels. Possible Fast Moves:
Psycho Cut (Psychic) Snarl (Dark)
Possible Charged Moves:
Dark Pulse (Dark) Megahorn (Bug) Payback (Dark) Thunder (Electric)
The Season of Mythical Wishes continues with the Winter Holiday event, which has brought Mega Glalie to Pokémon Go. Don’t forget to partake in the new Go Battle League season.
Elsewhere, be sure to use Daily Adventure Incense for the chance of encountering Galarian Articuno, Galarian Zapdos and Galarian Moltres.
When mega evolved, Absol gains a set of wings which gives it an angel-like aesthetic and, once again, connects it to the theme of protection against disasters and turmoil.
Absol may take inspiration from a creature which appears in Chinese mythology called Bai Ze; it is often described as being a white creature with either one or two horns. According to legend, the Yellow Emperor, Huáng Dì, met the Bai Ze and it gave him information on a large range of supernatural creatures.
A near identical information called the kutabe appears in Japanese mythology, which appeared on Mount Tatesan of the Toyama Prefecture and predicted a plague.
Have fun battling Mega Absol!
