Does Absol deserve to be a dark-type Pokémon? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post. As I stated above, Absol is a dark-type Pokémon. But does it deserve to be one? In Japan, the dark-type is actually the evil-type. However, Absol isn't really an evil Pokémon. It's actually a very useful Pokémon that can sense when a natural disaster is going to happen. Because of this, it would go to people to warn them of the impending disaster. Since a natural disaster would happen soon after an Absol appeared, it was labeled the disaster Pokémon. Therefor, Absol gained a bad reputation for presumably causing the natural disasters instead of appearing before people to warn them of it. So, Absol actually only has the dark-typing because of a misunderstanding. This means it's not actually a bad Pokémon, so Absol doesn't deserve to be considered a dark-type Pokémon. But, this is just my opinion on it. I hope you guys still agree with this post though!
