[COMPLETED] Absol

Sucker Punch is the most useful STAB option, as it allows Mega Absol to KO would-be revenge killers such as Talonflame. On the other hand, Pursuit can be useful because of the number of switches that Mega Absol will naturally cause. It works especially well on weakened Pokemon that might want to escape from Mega Absol, such as Talonflame...
...it gets priority, meaning that certain Pokemon, namely Talonflame and Swift Swim sweepers can't reliably revenge kill it.
Talonflame has base 126 base speed, so it can out speed Mega Absol with with 168 speed EVs and a Jolly nature. However, adamant Talonflame is always out sped by Mega Absol. You may want to mention this.
Aegislash also cannot switch into Mega Absol, as a Fire Blast followed by a +2 Sucker Punch is a guaranteed OHKO.
Nitpick: Isn't that a 2HKO, because it is two hits? Maybe change that to; "Aegislash also cannot switch into Mega Absol, because Fire Blast will weaken it enough for a +2 Sucker Punch to KO."

Talonflame never runs Jolly, so I'm not changing that. The OHKO thing is just that Mega Absol kills it without Aegislash getting off an attack. But fine, I'll change the wording a bit.
