You have shit taste. It’s modeled after a ying yang because it instinctively upholds the ecological balance by warning others of disaster. It’s implied the horn is less of a weapon and more of a tuning fork to help it precisely sense changes in barometric pressure. Absol’s design is fucking kino you shitter.

The whole Pokemon is fucking retarded
You can whinge about whatever obscure piece of mythology Absol is based on, but the simple reality of the situation is that the fucking thing is meant to look like some emo kid and the mythology is just a convenience.

>>36747629
This fucking thing is awful too, Grovyle was damn cool and then they throw out it's nice look for the ugly yellow balls, Christmas tree tail, and shittier arm blades

Gen 3s designs in general really missed the mark for me.

I'm referring to knock off.
Night slash is only for style points since it and friends never got buffed to 90 power like leaf blade did.

Absol is obviously based on a Sphinx.

If you’re complainkng about absol’s horn than really you should be complaining about all bipedal canine pokemon. Dogs attack with their mouths, claws, and by lunging. Absol has an assymetricla horn that it attacks with by swinging its head at opponents, why is this so hard to get

It's overdesigned, like most megas.
The only good megas design-wise are Audino, Sableye, Lopunny, Mawile, Aggron, and both Charizards.
Keep it simple.

Ampharos just gets it’s wool back
Pidgeot just gets a new haircut
Slowbro just gets it’s shell bigger
Altaria just gets more cotton
Mewtwo Y is less busy than it’s base form

How are these overdesigned?

Slowbro looks stupid. Other than that, the other ones are also pretty good.

OP here, this thread was intended to be about ‘mons whose competitive moveset does not suit them.
Examples would be Absol, Bisharp, and Weavile who don’t run cut moves in favor of the stronger knock off, Sheer Force Nidoking who suddenly decided to be a special attacker now, special attacker Tangrowth and Sceptile despite their arms, and any physical ‘mon who ran shadow ball before the special split.

I liked this. Never liked Ampharos at all because it got rid of the electric wool motif, so I'm glad the mega could bring it back.

I will never not be mad about RKS System. Why the fuck is it not compatible with Z crystals? Why don't memories give the same type boost as plates?

Who's to say it's not using its claws to perform all of those moves (not including Psycho Cut and Razor Wind which it could be using anything for)? Not one of Absol's attacking animations shows it using its horn to hit things physically leaving Megahorn as the only move confirmed to use it.
