Pokémon Go Raid Guide: Mega Absol Best Counter and Weaknesses

Mega Absol will show up in Mega Raids starting Oct. 22, 2021. In this guide, we cover the best counters and the weaknesses you should take advantage of to defeat the Disaster Pokémon!

Raid Guide

There is some basic information you need to know about Absol, which we have listed it below.

Absol

• Type: Dark
• Weak Against: Bug, Fairy, Fighting
• Strong Against: Psychic, Dark, Ghost
• Notes
  • Fighting Pokémon are usually your best bet against Dark Pokémon. Fairy Pokémon are resistant to them and strong against them as well, but Fighting Pokémon attack moves are commonly regarded as some of the strongest in the game.

Counters

Because Mega Pokémon are rarely used, we opted not to include them in the list of the best counters.

Although Bug Pokémon are also strong against Dark Pokémon, they are not resistant to them. For this reason, it's best to use a Fighting or Fairy Pokémon.
