Absol [G] (1/147) is a master at disrupting your opponent’s Bench. Just as its picture shows, Team Galactic’s sleek Darkness-type Pokémon is a blur of action. Absol [G] can reach out and do 20 damage to any Pokémon your opponent has in play with Feint Attack, and nothing can stop it, not even Poké-Powers, Resistance, or Trainer cards! Then Absol [G] can unleash a real fear-inducing move, Doom News, which will Knock Out the Defending Pokémon after the opponent’s next turn. After using Doom News, your opponent will face a tough decision: deliver one last attack with the Active Pokémon and be Knocked Out, or retreat and bring up a Benched Pokémon before it’s ready to get into the fray! Remember that if the opponent removes his or her Pokémon from the Active spot, it will no longer be imperiled by Doom News (nor will Doom News affect the incoming Pokémon). Regardless, Doom News is yet another great way Absol [G] can mess with your opponent’s best plans!
