Moves
========

Knock Off is Absol's primary STAB move, dealing massive damage and crippling potential switch-ins by removing their items. Sucker Punch gives Absol a form of priority, allowing it to easily pick off weakened targets and OHKO Mega Beedrill. Pursuit traps Psychic-types such as Celebi and Bronzong, while Iron Tail can be used to lure in Fairy-types such as Sylveon and Whimsicott and hit them hard. Superpower heavily damages Pokemon like Hydreigon, Krookodile, and Cobalion, which otherwise wall Absol. Fire Blast can be used in the last moveslot with a Naive nature to hit Cobalion, Forretress, and Whimsicott, but using it means losing out on hitting Hydreigon and Krookodile.

Set Details
========

Maximum Attack investment is used to hit as hard as possible and maximum Speed investment coupled with a Jolly nature allows Absol to outspeed threats such as Cobalion, Heliolisk, and Tornadus. Justified nets Absol an Attack boost when it absorbs a Dark-type attack. Absolite is used to allow Absol to Mega Evolve.

Usage Tips
========

Try to take advantage of Pokemon fearing Knock Off, such as Bronzong, to Mega Evolve Absol safely. Alternatively, try to Mega Evolve it on Pokemon threatened by Sucker Punch such as Mega Beedrill and weakened Crobat. Using Knock Off, Pursuit, or a coverage move on such Pokemon may be worth the risk, as Sucker Punch failing loses momentum. Use Pursuit to support Mega Absol's teammates; Psychic- and Ghost-type Pokemon such as Celebi, Reuniclus, and Chandelure will be caught off guard by Pursuit due to the popularity of the Swords Dance set. Superpower needs some chip damage to KO Cobalion and Krookodile, while even a healthy Hydreigon is OHKOed most of the time by Superpower; however, be wary of Choice Scarf sets. Fairy-types can be 2HKOed with Iron Tail if you predict their switch in. However, Knock Off is always a safe play, as Fairy-types are also inconvenienced by losing their item.

Team Options
========

This set fits best on offensive teams that can take advantage of its utility, as Absol's teammates can pivot it in safely and deal with the bulky Water-types and other defensive Pokemon that completely wall it. Fighting-types such as Heracross, Toxicroak, and Conkeldurr appreciate Mega Absol dealing with Psychic-types such as Celebi and Fairy-types such as Sylveon and Whimsicott, making them excellent partners. Psychic-types such as Reuniclus and Cresselia benefit from the removal of Dark-type threats such as Krookodile and Hydreigon. Fairy-types such as Sylveon and Whimsicott are also good partners, profiting from Steel-types such as Mega Aggron and Forretress being weakened. Mega Absol is weak to Bug-, Fairy-, and Fighting-types such as Heracross, Sylveon, and Mienshao, so Poison-types such as Crobat and Nidoqueen make for great partners, as they can help alleviate those weaknesses.

Hi, amcheck. Sorry for posting this a tad bit early; I was very eager to do a check, lol. It looks like there's nothing that needs to be added for the 3rd QC check, but if you wanted to change anything before sending it to GP, you can do that and disregard this check. I don't really mind. Hope this is helpful, though ^_^
