Hey, everyone, it’s your boy back again with another gaming deep dive. Today, we’re talking about my latest obsession in Pokemon Go: getting that perfect moveset for Absol. I’ve been grinding hard, and let me tell you, the struggle is real, but totally worth it.
So, first off, I started by catching a bunch of Absols. I mean, a lot. I was hitting up every raid I could find, using those raid passes like they were going out of style. My goal? To get an Absol with high IVs – you know, the ones that are gonna be beasts in battle. After a few weeks of this, I finally snagged a couple of good ones. It was a huge relief, I felt like a true Pokemon master.
Choosing the Right Moves
Next up was figuring out the best moves. From what I gathered online and from chatting with other players, it seemed like Snarl and Dark Pulse were the way to go. The idea is to max out that same-type attack bonus (STAB), since Absol is a pure Dark-type. I started using TMs like crazy, trying to get these moves. And by the way, getting enough TMs is a whole other grind, but that’s a story for another time. I used up a ton of fast TMs trying to get Snarl, and then a few charge TMs to get Dark Pulse. It was a pain, but eventually, I got it.
Powering Up
Once I had the right moves, it was time to power up my Absol. This meant feeding it all the candy and stardust I’d been hoarding. I watched that CP number climb higher and higher. Let me tell you, seeing those stats go up was so satisfying. It felt like all those hours of catching and raiding were finally paying off. I was pumping candies and stardust into this thing like there was no tomorrow. Finally, I got it maxed out – well, as much as I could for my trainer level, anyway.
Testing it Out
With my powered-up, perfect-moveset Absol, I was ready to take on some gyms and raids. And wow, did it perform! It was tearing through opponents like they were nothing. Seeing it in action, dishing out all that damage, made all the effort worth it. I even tried it out against some tougher raid bosses, and it held its own pretty well. Sure, it’s not the absolute top-tier Dark-type attacker, but it’s definitely solid. I felt super proud watching it take down those big bosses.
Final Thoughts
- Catching enough Absols to get one with good IVs is a grind.
- Snarl and Dark Pulse are the best moves for that sweet STAB.
- Powering up takes a lot of candy and stardust, but it’s worth it.
- Absol might not be the best, but it’s a solid Dark-type attacker.
All in all, getting the best moveset for Absol in Pokemon Go was a journey. It took time, effort, and a whole lot of resources. But in the end, having a powerful Absol that I trained up myself is a great feeling. If you’re thinking about doing the same, I hope my experience helps you out. It’s a grind, but hey, that’s what Pokemon Go is all about, right? Good luck, fellow trainers!
