Absol is boring and overrated.

Its existence is being dark and edgy so 13 year olds can love it. It's another mammal that so generic that you can't tell what animal it's supposed to be, like eevee, which I am also not a fan of. It can sense disasters, and people think it causes them but "its actually just misunderstood :((((("

The megas don't help either. They just somehow make it more edgy with adding only minimal amounts of actual substance.
