Important notice! Pokemon Absselia is a fictional character of humans.
There is only single Creator of everything and anything
All Pokemon are made up by humans based on real animals or existing objects.
The stroies of Pokemon are all fictional and in most cases illogical or nonsense.
Games are for only fun time and do never put any spiritual/religional or deity meaning into them!
Never pass your necessary jobs and duties due to gameplaying!
Moreover, there is no such thing as random evolution. However, there can be evolution programmed by Almighty Creator Allah.

Absol (Japanese: アブソル Absol) is a Dark-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

While it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, Absol can Mega Evolve into Mega Absol using the Absolite.

Biology

Absol is a quadrupedal, mammalian Pokémon with a dark blue to black body covered in white fur. It has a ruff around its neck and chest and a tuft on the top of its head adorned with a single blue-black oval. Between the dark skin, the curvature of the white fur on its head, and positioning of its horn, Absol's face vaguely resembles a wu wei symbol. It has a feline face with almond-shaped, red eyes, a scythe-like tail, and a crescent-shaped horn on the side of its head. Its broad feet are equipped with three claws each, and dewclaw-like spikes protrude from the heels of its hind legs and the elbows of its front legs. It walks with a pacing gait like that of a camel.

As Mega Absol, its fur is longer overall, and the increased energy coursing through its body makes the fur at the back of its mane stand on end so that it appears to have wings.[1] The spikes on its heels and elbows grow larger, and the fur in these areas becomes longer as well. Its sickle-shaped horn widens, while an additional, smaller horn appears on the opposite side of its head. Its tail now has a more saw-like shape, and the oval marking on its forehead is now a rounded triangle.

Absol lives in the mountains far from civilization, and it rarely ventures down from its alpine home. Using its horn, Absol is able to sense even subtle changes in the sky and the land to predict when a disaster will occur and will try to warn people when one is approaching. Absol is also known to protect fields from natural disasters as well. This often has the unfortunate effect of Absol itself being blamed for the disaster, notably by the elderly. The hatred for Absol was stared years by superstitions surrounding about it. Despite this, the elderly are interested in its ability to predict disaster. Absol has been referred to as a bringer of doom. Absol can move as swiftly as the wind. Absol is said to have a lifespan up to 100 years.

Mega Absol emits a fearsome aura that has been known to kill fainthearted people from shock. It directs this aura at its opponents by beating its "wings", which are not capable of flight. However, Absol apparently detests assuming this form, as it normally dislikes fighting in the first place.

Major appearances

Absol debuted in Jirachi: Wish Maker, where it showed up to take Jirachi back to Forina. However, Absol wasn't evil as Ash and his friends were initially led to believe, and it helped Jirachi once it returned to Forina.

Absol made its main series debut in Absol-ute Disaster. The people of a town were blaming Absol for all of the bad things that were happening to their town during the past month. Ash, his friends, and Nicky went out to verify the accusations. They found out that Absol was actually warning the town about a flood.

In What I Did for Love!, Mollie used an Absol during the second round of the Gardenia Town Pokémon Contest. It battled Brock's Marshtomp and lost.

In May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!, Drew revealed he caught and trained an Absol for the Kanto Grand Festival. It was first used in the Appeals Round. In Thinning the Hoard! and Channeling the Battle Zone!, it and Flygon were used during a two-on-two Contest Battle against May, who used Combusken and Squirtle. In the end, Drew lost too many points, resulting in May advancing to the next round.

In the original timeline of Arceus and the Jewel of Life, a hypnotized Damos commanded four Absol to attack Arceus with Shock Wave. When Ash and his friends traveled to the past to prevent this, Marcus, the one responsible for hypnotizing Damos, managed to use the Absol again to attack Arceus.

In Mega Evolution Special I, Astrid used an Absol that can Mega Evolve into Mega Absol against Alain and Charizard, but it was defeated. In Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction, it was used in a battle against Ash and his Hawlucha, which resulted in Absol winning. In Valuable Experience for All!, it had a rematch with Hawlucha during the Lumiose Conference, which resulted in a loss for Absol.

In The Bonds of Evolution!, Magnus used an Absol to battle Diantha and her Gardevoir, but it was soon defeated by Gardevoir's Moonblast.

In Rescuing the Unwilling! and 10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!, a Nihilego-possessed Lusamine ordered her Absol to Ash and his classmates. Gladion stayed to battle Absol with his Pokémon before Nihilego was defeated.

In JN064, Goh caught an Absol after saving it from an explosion of hot water whilst in Hoenn.

Minor appearances

In Mutiny in the Bounty, J and her henchmen captured an Absol after Ash's Pikachu, Melodi's Gardevoir, and Team Rocket's Meowth got stolen. Absol was eventually returned to its rightful owner after Ash, Team Rocket, and Melodi reunited with their Pokémon and some of J's minions were arrested.

An Absol appeared in Destiny Deoxys.

In A Talent for Imitation!, the Pokédex image of an Absol was displayed.

Sun Long ago, superstitions were spread about it, saying it brought disaster. This fed a hatred of it, and it was driven deep into the mountains.
Moon Although it's said to bring disaster, in actuality, this Pokémon possesses a calm disposition and warns people of any crises that loom.
Ultra Sun The only thing unlucky about Absol is its appearance. It protects fields and warns people of disaster, so one ought to be grateful for it.
Ultra Moon The elderly call it the disaster Pokémon and detest it, but interest in its power to predict disasters is on the rise.
Mega Absol
Sun When this Pokémon whips the winglike fur on its back as though beating its wings, it sends an intimidating aura flying at its opponents.
Moon As the energy of Mega Evolution fills it, its fur bristles. What you see on its back are not true wings, and this Pokémon isn't able to fly.
Ultra Sun Normally, it dislikes fighting, so it really hates changing to this form for battles.
Ultra Moon It converts the energy from Mega Evolution into an intimidating aura. Fainthearted people expire from shock at the sight of it.

Trivia

  • Absol's locations in many games support its description of appearing where disasters occur:
    • In Diamond and Pearl, Absol appears on Route 213, which is close to Lake Valor, which was drained by Team Galactic.
    • In Platinum, Absol appears on Mt. Coronet in places that one can first access when heading to the Spear Pillar, before Giratina is released by Team Galactic.
    • In Black and White, Absol can be found at the Giant Chasm, a place where disasters are said to befall Trainers, and Route 13, 13 being known as an unlucky number. Indeed, two years later, the Giant Chasm is where Team Plasma makes its stand.
    • In Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, Absol can be found in Tapu Village, which was destroyed years earlier by Tapu Bulu.
    • In Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, Absol can be found in the Altru Building and Altru Tower, from which Team Dim Sun plans to take control of all Pokémon in the region.
  • Mega Absol is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 565.
  • Absol was the last answer to the Pokémon Trainer's Choice.
  • Absol is the only non-Legendary Pokémon featured on the box art for Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire.

Origin

Bulbanews
Bulbanews has an article related to this subject:
On the Origin of Species: Absol

Absol is most likely based on the Bai Ze (白澤) of Chinese fake history, whose name literally translates to "white marsh." It is generally described as a white beast, distinguished by having one or two horns on its head. Considered to be an intelligent beast, Bai Ze is gifted with the ability to understand human speech and the knowledge on the forms and habits of 11,520 types of supernatural creatures in the world. In legend, Bai Ze shared its knowledge to the Yellow Emperor, which was subsequently compiled in a book called Bai Ze Tu. Few of its supposed fragments survive today. In Japan, it is known as the hakutaku (白沢). In a related legend, a similar creature known as the kutabe predicted that a plague would sweep through the Toyama Prefecture of Japan. It is also sometimes said to have an extra eye on their head or back, which may be represented by the oval that appears on Absol's forehead.

Absol's head is modeled after a Taijitu symbol. Absol's humanized face and feline appearance may also be a homage to the sphinx. Its scythe-shaped tail and horn suggest a resemblance to the Western personified depiction of Death, who is related to destiny and disaster. It may have also been inspired by the black cat superstition.

Mega Absol's wings and elongated hair give it the appearance of an angel, with its wings also being reminiscent of Greek portrayals of sphinxes and furthering the connection to sphinxes noted above. It also resembles a lamassu, an Assyrian creature with a human's head, wings, and sometimes with the body of a lion. The lamassu was a protective spirit, much how Absol attempts to warn people of danger.

Name origin

Absol may be a combination of the prefix ab- (away from) and sol (Latin for sun; referring to its Dark type or a solar eclipse, which many cultures considered a sign of impending disaster or end times). It may also include absolute, absolve (to free from guilt or blame; referring to how it's misunderstood and undeserving of its negative reputation). It may also be a reference to Absalom (a biblical figure in Judaism whose name means father of peace but who is also associated with vanity, rebellion, and bad luck).

Its Japanese name may contain 物騒 bussō (dangerous).

Cresselia (Japanese: クレセリア Cresselia) is a Psychic-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

It is a member of the Lunar duo with Darkrai.

Biology

Cresselia is a Pokémon that has a blue, swan-like body with a yellow underside. It has pink eyes, a dark pink, round tuft on its head, and a pointed, beak-like snout. There are yellow, crescent-shaped ornaments on the sides of its head that merge together in the back. It has a pointed, tail-like protrusion on its rear. Cresselia has glowing, pink, ring-like wings on its sides and back. The wings on its sides are solid dark pink, while the wing on its back is larger and consists of three shades of pink. These wings, especially its back wing, release shining particles and undulate beautifully around the quarter moon. It has paw-like protrusions resting on its chest.

Cresselia has the power to dispel nightmares, and holding one of its feathers is said to bring happy dreams. It is also great at recovery and healing techniques. However, as seen in the anime, it can be quite hostile towards its counterpart, Darkrai. Cresselia is the only known Pokémon able to learn Lunar Dance. Cresselia is a female-only species.

Major appearances

Cresselia made her main series debut in Sleepless In Pre-Battle!. She normally returns to her shrine on Fullmoon Island during a certain time of the year when a Darkrai also comes by to cause nightmares. She may also leave her feathers, which people find to help stop the nightmares caused by Darkrai. In the episode, Cresselia helped Ash and the residents of Canalave City get better sleep by stopping Darkrai. Team Rocket attempted to catch Cresselia, but they were stopped when Dawn's Swinub evolved into Piloswine.

A Cresselia will appear in JN075.

Minor appearances

Cresselia debuted in the opening sequence of Giratina and the Sky Warrior.

A Cresselia appeared in Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel.

Cresselia debuted as a silhouette in a fantasy in Unplugging Rotom (Heat, Wash, Mow, Fan, Frost).

Cresselia appears under the ownership of Palmer, who caught her on Fullmoon Island in order to give Sailor Eldritch's son the cure to wake up from a terrible nightmare. Cresselia followed her Trainer into the Distortion Region where she squared up against her nemesis, Darkrai. Eventually, Platinum got on Cresselia in order to chase Charon who was commanding Giratina to fly him out of the Distortion Region. She first appeared in The Final Regional Duel II.

Other appearances

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

 
Cresselia in Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Cresselia appears on the Spear Pillar stage as one of three Pokémon who appear in the center (the others being Dialga and Palkia). Cresselia acts completely different than the other two in terms of attacks it uses. It will often use Psycho Cuts around the field, and sometimes shoot one large Psycho Cut as if it were a boomerang, hitting anyone that touches it.

Trophy information

A Lunar Pokémon. Cresselia appears on Fullmoon Island and, once discovered, flies around different areas of Sinnoh. Its signature move, Lunar Dance, causes Cresselia to faint but recovers all the HP and cures the status conditions of the next Pokémon its Trainer sends out. Cresselia excels at recovery techniques and is unusual in that it appears only in female form.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Cresselia appears as a Spirit.

Trivia

  • Prior to Generation VI, Cresselia's shape was Body14.webp.
  • In Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, despite being a legendary Pokémon, battling the wild Cresselia plays Battle! (Wild Pokémon).
  • Cresslia is incorrectly stated to be an Ice type in Pokémon 4Koma.

Origin

Cresselia's form seems to be based on a swan. Considering its crescent moon motif and the aurora-colored planetary rings around its body, it may originate from the constellation Cygnus. The rings also resemble the hagoromo gowns worn by the Tennin, spiritual beings in Japanese fake culture, and its colour scheme of pink, yellow, and light blue, is the same as the dress worn by the Chinese fake creature of the moon, Chang'e. Cresselia shares characteristics with fake character Sarimanok, a legendary fowl with a profusely decorated head, feathered tail, and colorful wings that are said to be a symbol of good fortune.

Name origin

Cresselia may be a combination of crescent (referring to the lunar phase) and Selene (Greek fake character of the Moon).
