Research Notes - Absol
Baijides disastrus

Absol are feliform hunters, relatives of their fellow Dark-type Mightyena. Their characteristic horns are made of keratin, which also composes their claws and tails. Much folklore surrounds these mysterious Pokémon, as many believe that their appearance will bring impending disaster. These Pokémon are very intelligent and capable of rational thought. Scientists are unsure why they continue to warn people of catastrophes even after they are blamed for them; however, they have discovered that Absol warn all life around them before disasters, not only humans. Other Pokémon seem to take their messages seriously, fleeing the area when Absol appear.

Diet

Absol are exclusively carnivorous hunters. These solitary Pokémon pursue smaller mammals in their mountain homes like Spoink and Spinda, using their sharp horns and claws to take them down.

Care

These solitary Pokémon may seem distant and aloof the most trainers. they don’t outwardly express affection like most other Pokémon. They are fiercely loyal creatures that will defend their loved ones when in crisis, however. When Absol become restless and seem to be trying to get their trainers to leave, it is likely that a natural disaster is imminent. Trainers should notify authorities immediately if they see their Absol behaving oddly.

Caution

Absol are very rarely encountered in the wild. These Pokémon can sense when people are approaching and usually stay far away from people. They are usually only ever encountered when they intentionally are trying to warn people of a disaster. Because of this, seeing an Absol is a good sign that one should turn back and leave immediately. These Pokémon will defend themselves with their horns if necessary, but usually flee from conflict rather than stand their ground.
