How many Absolfags are on this board? I see you from time to

I hated the shit out of it the first time I saw it (the asymmetric horn and dark skin are triggering ok) but now I would probably cuddle one unironically as much as I fear to admit it, can I join?

>The Mega is ou material now
god bless gen 7

>ou material
Really? What changed for it other than the minor Dark buff?

>>31055741
mega speed buff giving it 115 speed right of the bat is huge

>>31055741
Mega evolve happens before the turn starts now so it's no longer worthless because it still counts as being slow the first turn.

>>31055754
>>31055758
Right, I almost forgot about that. But is that really all it took?

>>31055769
its biggest flaw is shitty defenses that mega doesnt improve, and it used to have shit speed as well so you get kod by anything before you could attack

now it's a solid 115sp 150 attack mon with gr8 movepool and anti-setter

does it still die to mach punch? yeah
but its very powerul

>>31055769
Speed is literally the only stat that matters

I don't use it in competition, but ever since Gen III, Absol has been my favorite. Its gotten to the point where I breed a 5 IV'd one in the previous gen, and transfer over when I start a new game. I consider Absol my starter, none of these grass/water/fire plebes.

I'm an absolfag, but I don't like all those girly sexual representation of absol.
I like mostly it's design and lore

Sell me on your favorite mon.Why do you like it? What can it bring to a team? Tell me why it should be worth the mega slot of my team.

Because it's fluffy and cute and these are valuable aspects that any team should have. Its mega only further pushes these aspects.

I used to like it because I thought it was a cool design. But Amie made it too cute. Now I can't see it as anything but.

Oh hello, yes me sir.

Absolfag here, Absol is a cute.

>>31055724
That's completely understandable. I think most of this board would unironically cuddle an absol.

>>31056250
I love its versitality. Psycho cut, rock slide, superpower, night slash... Not to mention the others it can learn. Very useful in the game.

>>31059456
not to mention the elemental trio moves with decent SpA, as well as megahorn

what is a good nature / ability / EV spread for sun and moon on absol / mega absol? I can't really come up with an idea on how to breed for one.
I wanna try for a premier ball shiny though
