Absol is a pure Dark type, Tier 3 Raid Boss, and so, its weaknesses include strong Bug, Fairy, and Fighting Pokémon.
Absol; isn’t too bulky, so most trainers can solo it without much effort. That said, 2-3 trainers are sufficient in general. This write-up will serve as a comprehensive guide to successfully beating Absol Raids.
Trainers would be excited to know that the Fashion Week 2023 event features an Absol with sunglasses in Raids, with chances of being shiny!
Absol Raid Counters
Since Shadow Pokémon are extremely expensive to power up and require specific events to remove Frustration with a Charge TM, they will NOT be listed as raid counters in this article. That being said, if you have the shadow form of a listed raid counter Pokémon powered up and TMed, use it.
