Character info
The character
Absol is a Dark-type Pokemon known in its games and the wider franchise as the 'Disaster Pokemon,' said to appear before calamities to warn humans, despite often being feared and blamed for the very disasters it senses. Its Mega Evolution grants it an elongated horn and enhanced claws, reflecting a dramatic power increase tied to its role as an omen. The character is recurring across Pokemon media as a brooding, solitary figure.

How it plays
Mega Absol ex is a Basic Pokemon with 280 HP, Darkness type, weak to Grass x2, and a retreat cost of two. Its first attack, Terminal Period, costs one Darkness and one Colorless energy and knocks out the opponent's Active Pokemon if it has exactly 6 damage counters on it. Its second attack, Claw of Darkness, costs two Darkness and one Colorless energy, deals 200 damage, and lets the player reveal the opponent's hand and discard a card found there. As a Mega Evolution ex, when it is Knocked Out the opponent takes 3 Prize cards instead of the usual amount.
