CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Absol has long suffered from confusion between announcing a disaster and causing it. Because its appearance sometimes precedes catastrophe, humans have held it responsible. Yet the Pokédex mainly describes its ability to perceive signs of danger. The mountain-dwelling loner thus bears a reputation that turns its talent for anticipation into a reason for fear among those who encounter it.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

This Absol's attack shows 20 damage. If its player has at least three Darkness Energy in play, the attack adds 50 damage. The text checks Energy on the field rather than only Energy attached to Absol: that collective threshold triggers the extra damage.
