Focus SashAbsol is listed as a Dark type in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Absol fits in a VGC team.
The most common build highlights Super Luck, Focus Sash and Adamant 2/32/0/0/0/32. Its frequent moves include Night Slash, Psycho Cut, Sucker Punch, and Swords Dance. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.
Defensively, Absol has important weaknesses to bug 2x, fairy 2x, fighting 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as garchomp, corviknight, froslass, arcanine, and whimsicott appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
