Pokemon Moveset: Sucker punch absol #

[spartamixfan]

i cant get absol to learn superpower since its in white version so what should i go for? x-scissor instead?

[cheesecakeSquared]

I really like how you say "jolly" :P

[steventfx5]

Hidden power is pretty good if u have ice/flying

[dragonlordsam]

can you tell me which of these moves my absol should have (super luck+adamant)

-perish song

-swords dance

-night slash

-psycho cut

-sucker punch

right now i have perish song,swords dance,night slash and sucker punch

[EllieSeyYo]

@dragonlordsam Best moveset I know of Absol:

Swords Dance

Psycho Cut

Sucker Punch

-any move you want-

...Really, Perish song is a bad move overall. It encourages switch, sure, but you have Whirlwind/Roar to replace that on other pokemon, and Absol's a offensive pokemon too, so a status based "attack" is pretty silly to keep. That's just my opinion though. If you can learn to take advantage of perish song, then keep Perish Song on the fourth slot.

[shadowdraqon]

Since Sucker punch can fail if ur opponent doesnt attack Extreme speed is better

[EllieSeyYo]

@shadowdraqon Sucker Punch ends up better because Absol's true intent is to Sucker Punch sweep. That, and Sucker Punch has stab. Sucker Punch is better than Extreme Speed because of Absol's HORRIBLE defenses, encouraging an attack from the foe about 95% of the time. Besides, even if the opponent can manage to outspeed/trick room Absol, Sucker Punch will ALWAYS hit first, by default.

cud u make a swampert moveset physical;D

[noodle0912]

How do you teach Absol sucker punch?

[ExMarKaSpoT]

absol

adamant

superluck

scopelens

nightslash

sworddance

psycho cut

stoneedge

[alexxb115]

i taught mine x-scissor night slash pyscho cut and arieal ace

[ashlynx1]

dude y should give your absol a razor claw wich boosts crit hit ratio plus night slash plus super luck is like 50 percent chance of crit hit

[FearTheBeans]

My absol moveset is a super crit kind.

Jolly (to outrun more pokemon)

ev in speed and attack

Super Luck

item: razor claw (or the crit lens whatever it's called)

Psyco cut Night Slash Sucker Punch Slash (or shadow claw)

Use any moves (but sucker punch) and 50% chance of crit

[SkySaverX]

Hey do you think curse is a good repalcement for swords dance....just to balance out superpower a little?

[Luna874]

with the release of HG/SS, megahorn could be a good option for absol as it can do a lot of damage to celebi as celebi is 4x weak to bug.

also, it can have curse as an egg move and when you combine that with sucker punch: it will be doing a lot of damage

[bagda183]

i'm preparing my absol with this same moveset, with focus sash. I'm afraid with superpower because decreases attack and defense. What do you think? don't mind my english because i'm brazilian and i'm trying to do my best

[SkySaverX]

your english is ok to me...

[TheInferno16264]

I gave mine zen headbut so i could get flinch on fighting types

[charizardthree]

you have more chance of critting with psycho cut so if you get it you'll be doing like 4 x the damage

[xxpac4lyfexx]

Sucker punch could be risky if your facing the wrong team.. I mean your opponent might not be readying an attack

[absolclaw]

How about putting Taunt on Absol or on it's partner in a double? Then you can make sure it hits xD

[ninetalescommander]

Gian, i've just found out something about Absol

Psycho Cut is a option but it can also learn Zen Headbutt which is stronger

[charizardthree]

not always

psycho cut has the effect of high crit rate, paired with its ability theres going to be a very good chance to crit meaning theres alot of power behind it.

this also makes nightslash a good option,

you could use zenheadbutt, paring it up with absols ability gives absol good crit rate and flinch which could come in handy

[ninetalescommander]

I'm not saying psycho cut sucks, I think its great but Zen Headbutt is also a option

[charizardthree]

oh yeah its a good option

[ninetalescommander]

I really like your pkm movesets, can't wait for the next 1

[Snipetacular02]

that sucks, it's not that much of a worry because it doesn't have awesome speed anyway. if it mattered u would have to retrain it.

[jbizilbe2]

something is wrong with mine. I know I evd atk and spd but my stats came out like this:

 Adamant, Proud of it's power atk 393 spatk 156 spd 234 def 162 sodef 142

So why is my speed that low compared to yours?

[charizardthree]

you have lower speed IVs

[Snipetacular02]

by the way it is holding expert belt to boost supereffective moves

[Snipetacular02]

Awesome set. Absol has been my favorite poke since sapphire. I've noticed it being used more and more now. though bullet punch+technician+stab=120power also. I've got a dominant set for my Lucario i hope you could grade.

Lucario

Lonely

Inner Focus

252atk 252spd

Close Combat

Ice Punch

EQ

Zen Headbutt

plz grade

[ninetalescommander]

That set is pretty good

I wasn't aware that Lucario could learn Zen Headbutt

On a scale of 1/10, i'd say 8

[rycoGFX]

I sport a similar set on Cacturne. Only cacturne is a cactus, and therefore awesome. -er

[ninetalescommander]

Can you use this set?

Nature: Adamant

Hold item: Focus Sash

Moves: Sucker Punch, Quick Attack, Psycho Cut, and Swords Dance

Also, you can catch Absols in Ruby and Sapphire before the pkm league

[charizardthree]

yeah but you dont have coverage on steel types

and i know i just never got one until after

[ninetalescommander]

Okay, how about we remove psycho cut and put on Superpower?

[charizardthree]

yeah that can work

[ninetalescommander]

The only thing I hate about superpower is 1. You lose coverage over Fighting types

2. The negative effect on Superpower

I don't really get why they didn't put close combat on the platinum move tutor set

[dragoncm3]

could fire blast work instead of super power

[charizardthree]

yes but you would need to change ur nature

[dragoncm3]

nieve

[4Zaire4]

OU means over used not the best moves on pokemon and stats doesnt matter bout stats its about how many ppl use them

[charizardthree]

yes i know

my point was im suprised that it isnt OU because sucker punch from absol is stronger than bullet punch from scizor

[koolman500]

I dont have platinum so what can i drop superpower for? i was thinking taunt

And would zen headbutt be more effective then psycho cut?

[charizardthree]

psycho cut + super luck has very hit crit rate

and for super power you could try roock smash, taunt or even fire blast

[Imfulus]

pretty nice.. i wouldnt use absol but its not bad at all from the looks of it :)

[donaldo89]

oh this is the pokemon you were mentioning

[Ace09zz]

My personal opinion would be to have Taunt, as it forces your opponent into Attacking moves which makes use of Sucker Punch.

[charizardthree]

yeah that works especially for walls
