Mega Absol
I have to bring this up because of all the Mega Evolutions, Mega Absol I feel has been given a poor build
Doom Period requires 2 energy and can only be used against a pokemon with PRECISELY 6 damage counters, 7 or more…you can't use it, 5 or less…you can't use it. It has to be exactly 6 damage counters which gives almost no room for error
And the other attack is niche because it requires 3 energy…deals only 200 damage…and you can discard only a single card from your opponent's hand.
Hydreigon EX does the attack discard thing better, for only 2 energy he deals the same damage and discards the top 3 cards from your opponent's deck
and only 280 HP means most other megas or EX pokemon can clear him out in 1 or 2 attacks, heck…Mega Lucario can one shot him with a tool and power pro plus stacks
I'm sure there's deck builds that can utilize Mega Absol, but why bother when most of the other megas or EX pokemon are substantially better?

I have a deck with Absol. It has potential, but it doesn't work well. I'm gonna post it here later for advice, but I use Glaceon ex and Munkidori to get the damage around and Absol to finish. I also have Inteleon for back-up incase I go over 60 so I can keep going until they have the lowest health.

Froslass with Freezing shroud is another good choice to pair with Mega Absol and Munkidori, it puts 1 damage counter on any pokemon with an ability

I considered using it, but I didn't want to get an opponent to the perfect health I need and the ability makes it go over that. That's also why I didn't include the new Spiritomb (I don't the spelling)
I was looking at the deck, though, and realized I didn't have Boss' Order in it, which would be useful here. I don't normally use that card, so I forgot it.
I'm gonna post the deck today, though, so I can see if I have anything unnecessary or what I could add to make it better.

nice, mega absol is kinda weak, I pulled some Mega Evolution packs the other day, IRL, and got mega kangaskhan ex , it's attack, 200 plus flip a coin until you get tails, this attack does 50+ damage for each heads,

i'd use mega kangaskhan for utility rather then attack, drawing 2 cards for free each turn is great

Agree
I also think that, while 200 it's nice, not good enough for the work of three energies. Sure, it has the chance of getting more than 200, but I don't like relying on chance.
@bbbzeliard I am happy for you, though! That's a nice card! Where did you find the pack, though? Everywhere I've gone for some had been sold out!

And yes, I like the ability a lot, but it has to be in the active spot, so you might as well attack with it,

Same, I went to best buy, Gone, Gamestop, Gone, I finally went to a Video games e.t.c(Literally the name) and got the last 3 packs, I also don't like to rely on chance, but if your'e really lucky, you could one shot most Pokemon
