Character info
The character
Absol is a Dark-type Pokémon known in the games and anime for its ability to sense impending disasters, which has led many to mistakenly blame it for causing the calamities it warns of. Through Mega Evolution, Absol gains a larger, blade-like horn and enhanced power, reflecting an intensification of its disaster-sensing nature. It is often portrayed as a solitary, misunderstood creature.
This card
This is Mega Absol ex, numbered 086/132 in the Mega Evolution set, printed as a holofoil card with RR rarity. The artwork, illustrated by aky CG Works, depicts Absol's Mega-Evolved form in close-up with sweeping blue and yellow design elements against a dark background. The card carries the Mega Evolution ex rule banner along its lower edge.
How it plays
Mega Absol ex is a Basic Pokémon with 280 HP, weak to Grass-type attacks (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 Pokémon if it already has exactly six damage counters on it. Its second attack, Claw of Darkness, costs two Darkness and one Colorless energy, deals 200 damage, and lets the player see the opponent's hand and discard a card found there. As a Mega Evolution ex, if this Pokémon is Knocked Out, the opponent takes three Prize cards instead of the usual amount.
