Mega Absol is a Mega Raid Boss, the Mega form of Absol in Pokémon Go. It has a sickle-shaped growth on the side of its head along with a scythe-like tail. In its mega form, its hair has grown out even more and covers one of its eyes. As it is a Mega Raid, it won’t be a piece of cake to fight against Mega Absol. So in this Pokémon Go guide, we are going to talk about the best ways and counters using which you’ll be able to defeat Mega Absol in the best way possible.
Mega Absol in Pokémon Go
Mega Absol is a pure Dark-type Pokémon with a maximum CP of 3732 at level 50. It is weak towards Bug, Fairy, and Fighting-type attacks. If you are a high-level player with the best counters along with yourself which are also boosted, you’ll be able to fight against Mega Absol if you bring another friend along with you into battle. If you are a low-level player, you should have no less than three to five trainers in your team.
Mega Absol Moveset
The moves that I’ve found to be the best from the moveset of Mega Absol are Snarl and Payback. Both of them have a combined DPS of 67.6. It is also the best combination of moves that you can use in both Pokémon Gyms and PvP battles. Other good attacks from its movepool include Psycho Cut, Dark Pulse, Mrgahorn, and Thunder.
