>>54694273Would you consider an Absol being an obscenely efficient ambush predator off of the implementation of Super Luck+Focus Energy+Night Slash to fall afoul of this? In game mechanics terms, you need some VERY chonky boys to not get OHKO'd, while in-story there's a straightforward reason for "first move advantage" despite the "low" speed.
In the case of a trainer picking up such an Absol, the chief challenge is getting them to HOLD BACK from bootleg-Guillotining everything where the Focus Energy setup is a serious disadvantage and maiming competitors disqualifies, as something of a highlight for why catching already-high-level wild Pokemon is a Bad Idea. In the case of following the Absol doing things, it'd frequently be an "anti-murder-mystery" of figuring out when, where, who, and how to take out, and muddling through the fuzzy in-between to actually REACH the opening.
