Absol Pokémon cards
Absol appears on 8 cards in the newest Pokémon sets, mostly as a Darkness-type Pokémon. Here's every new Absol card, which sets to look in, and the rarest one to hunt for.
Darkness Pokémon are sneaky and like the shadows. Their Energy symbol is dark.
How does Absol evolve?
On its cards, Absol doesn't evolve from or into another Pokémon. It also has 3 Mega Evolution cards — Mega Pokémon are extra powerful versions.
The rarest new Absol card
The rarest is Mega Absol ex 180/132 from Mega Evolution, a Special Illustration Rare card. Two gold stars. Big, detailed pictures of the most powerful Pokémon and characters — some of the hardest cards to pull.
Strongest and smallest
The Absol card with the most HP (hit points) is Mega Absol ex from Mega Evolution with 280 HP. The one with the least is Absol from Paradox Rift with 100 HP. More HP means a Pokémon can take more damage before it's knocked out.
Absol has 5 “ex” cards in the newest sets. Pokémon ex are big, powerful cards — but if one is knocked out, your opponent takes two Prize cards instead of one.
