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

Absol’s curved horn contributes to this perception. Pokémon Sword describes it as extremely sensitive to signs heralding natural disasters. Its remarkable shape is therefore more than a feature of its silhouette: it is linked to its role as a sentinel.
