Flavor Text

: Rumored to sense disasters with its horn, it became a target. It fled deep into the mountains.
: It appears from deep in the mountains to warn people about upcoming disasters it has sensed with its horn.

: It senses coming disasters and appears before people only to warn them of impending danger.
: It appears when it senses an impending natural disaster. As a result, it was mistaken as a doom bringer.
: Every time Absol appears before people, it is followed by a disaster such as an earthquake or a tidal wave. As a result, it came to be known as the disaster Pokémon.
: Absol has the ability to foretell the coming of natural disasters. It lives in a harsh, rugged mountain environment. This Pokémon very rarely ventures down from the mountains.

: Long ago, superstitions were spread about it, saying it brought disaster. This fed a hatred of it, and it was driven deep into the mountains.
: Although it’s said to bring disaster, in actuality, this Pokémon possesses a calm disposition and warns people of any crises that loom.
: The only thing unlucky about Absol is its appearance. It protects fields and warns people of disaster, so one ought to be grateful for it.
: The elderly call it the disaster Pokémon and detest it, but interest in its power to predict disasters is on the rise.
