How does Absol predict disaster?

MajorBrendan

How does Absol predict a disaster and what kind of disaster can it predict? Does it horns give it premonition? Can it predict a natural disaster? A man-made disaster?

I would say gets its magic from whatever source other Pokémon get their skills. I think Absol can predict anything that that most people would define as a disaster.

It can see the future

MajorBrendan

@Tacolaser whether it be natural, man-made or otherwise?

The Pokedex states that although Absol is often blamed for disasters, it is never the cause.

@MajorBrendan I think it's because of the blue spot on it head considering that fact that it's horn is used for attacking why would it use its horn for attacking if it has that kinda power in it

I agree. It's never the cause of the disasters, it has premonitions about them.

I mean it probably just senses disaster like how a bird flies lower if there is going to be a storm it might just be something in the wind

MajorBrendan

@Shadowbrine1 Question is on the how? Does it sense it through it horn?

The Absol actually conspire to bring about disasters and make their "predictions" come true. It's all a psy-op, despite being dark type.

To find out we have to take a dying Absol to the lab and perform an autopsy.

Big Absol writes the Pokédex entries. The professors are covering it up.
