Collector Insights

Absol is a Darkness-type Pokémon with 100 HP, featuring a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It possesses the Lamentation ability, which discards a random card from the opponent's hand if it is damaged by an attack while being the Active Pokémon. The card includes the Shadow Cage attack, requiring one Darkness and two Colorless energy to deal 60 damage and prevent the defending Pokémon from retreating during the opponent's next turn. Absol has a resistance to Psychic-type attacks, reducing damage by 20, but is weak to Fighting-type attacks, which deal double damage. The card's flavor text describes Absol as appearing during natural disasters, leading to its mistaken association with bringing doom. It was released as a Promo rarity card in the XY series, specifically the XY Black Star Promos set, on October 12, 2013. The artwork was created by artist Hasuno, and the card is part of the broader Pokémon TCG collection.

It appears when it senses an impending natural disaster. As a result, it was mistaken as a doom bringer.
