Collector Insights

Absol is a Darkness-type Pokémon with 100 HP, featured in the Sword & Shield series as part of the Astral Radiance set released on May 27, 2022. It is a Rare Holo card numbered 97 and illustrated by artist GIDORA. The Pokémon has a retreat cost of one Colorless energy and no resistances, though it is weak to Grass-type attacks with double damage. Absol’s attacks include Swirling Disaster, which costs one Darkness energy and deals 10 damage to each of the opponent’s Pokémon, bypassing Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon. The second attack, Claw Rend, requires one Darkness and one Colorless energy, dealing 50+ damage and adding 70 more if the opponent’s Active Pokémon already has damage counters. Its flavor text highlights Absol’s ability to detect natural disasters through its sensitive horn, reflecting its connection to environmental cues. The card’s design and mechanics align with its thematic role as a swift, disaster-aware creature.

Swift as the wind, Absol races through fields and mountains. Its curved, bow-like horn is acutely sensitive to the warning signs of natural disasters.
