As part of its ongoing efforts to promote every single Pokémon out there, The Pokémon Company has shared special content dedicated to Absol:
Did you know? 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. Because of this Pokémon’s ability to detect danger, people mistook Absol as a bringer of doom.
