Pokemon TFG: Figure of the Day - Absol 2/42

Absol seems to be the Jack of all Trades, has good dodge rate of 1/6, a solid 1/3 White 70, a small White 30, and the **Purple, which could be bad or good depending on the situation. Here's the overview:

Double Edge - 105 degrees
** Purple
Absol and the Defending pokemon are knocked out.
My thoughts: This can be strong for taking out things which prevent your fast and weaker Pokemon like Murkrow from reaching the goal. It can also get something you want out of the Pokemon Center without burning a Max Revive, out. But the drawback is, you don't always want Absol dead, a simple solution is, don't send in Absol when you want him to get the goal, unless your opponent's team is bad enough to let a White 70 beat them out, it won't work.

Razor Wind - 120 degrees
White 70
My thoughts: Very strong White that covers 1/3 of Absols base, this is good for nailing pesky little rushers such as Eevee or Murkrow. But 70 is just all around strong.

Scratch - 75 degrees
White 30
My thoughts: Obviously not Absol's strong point, but it's better than having a miss in its place.

Dodge - 60 degrees
Blue
Definately in the list of top 5 dodgers, just great to have a strong dodge chance on anything.

Ratings:
Rushing - 2/5
Not strong here, as I mentioned earlier, White 70 is the only attack that can draw blood without dying. And alot of walls laugh at White 70. With a strong chance of dying from your own attack, Absol is best used as a utility weapon.
Blocking - 3/5
Nice dodge, and can immediately dispose of other Pokemon, but Lugia, Golem, Gatr, and others out-class it here. More simply put, a *** beats a **, and knocking your self out isn't good when you are blocking your goal.
Midfield weapon - 3/5
Again, killing yourself loses huge field presence, so it just is outclassed by things like Zangoose and Pikachu, who have good dodges and strong Whites.
Utility weapon - 4/5
Almost wanted to give it a 5, it's just amazing, you can move 2 so you can have access to killing alot, you can get things out of Your P.C. and things into the opponent's P.C. that they want active. White 70 is generally strong against rushers.

That's all for the figure of the day, next up: Groudon.
