Is Mega-Absol worth the mega slot?

Jan. 8, 2015

I was thinking of using a support Ninjask and Baton Passing as much speed and attack as possible.I thought Absol could do the job, as it has high Atk and Spd, but then you see it’s bulk, or rather, lack of bulk. So is Absol even worth it? It get’s great priority (Sucker Punch), and moves with decent power, and somewhat compliment his/hers high Atk stat. But just is he worth it?

Personally, I think Mega Diancie and Mega Sableye both do Absol’s job better. Both get Magic Bounce, but have a lot more bulk to work with, whereas Absol can be OHKO’d by most neutral hits.

I am not completely up-to-date with the current tiers, but I know Absol is UU. I don’t know about Sableye or DIancie, although I think their regular forms are UU. If their Megas are banned from UU, then Absol might be worth the Mega slot in UU. If not, then it is simply outclassed.
