What Mega Evolution changes

Absol, number 359 in the National Dex and a Hoenn Pokémon, holds Absolite Z to become Mega Absol Z, taking its total from 465 to 565. The biggest single gain is 76 Speed, followed by 24 Attack. Nothing goes down — HP, Defense, Sp. Atk and Sp. Def stay exactly where they were.

The typing changes: it gains Ghost, which rewrites every matchup below. Mega Evolving replaces Pressure, Super Luck and Justified with Magic Bounce.

What gets through

As Dark and Ghost, 1 of the eighteen attacking types get through for extra damage. It resists 1 and is outright immune to 3. The full board is above; the short version is that the types listed under ×2 and ×4 are the ones worth planning around.

Not legal in Regulation M-B

Mega Absol Z cannot be used in the current Pokémon Champions regulation, so there is no ladder data for it and no legal set to report. Absol itself is legal and is played on 0.01% of teams — it is the Mega form that is barred, which means the Absolite Z is the part you cannot bring.

Regulation M-B closed on 9 September 2026, and legality is regenerated from the format data on every build rather than written by hand, so this page will change on its own if that changes.

What threatens it

Smogon publishes no head-to-head checks-and-counters data for doubles formats, so this list is computed, not measured: these are the most-played Regulation M-B Pokémon carrying a damaging move of a type Mega Absol Z takes extra damage from.

Where it sits among the Megas

Of the 93 Mega forms in the dex, Mega Absol Z is 84th by base stat total. Its best stat is Attack at 154, which is 18th among Megas; its worst is Sp. Def at 60, 93rd. One other Mega shares the Dark and Ghost typing and therefore this exact matchup board: Mega Sableye.

Putting it on a team

A Mega slot is a commitment: the stone occupies the held item, so whatever Mega Absol Z would have wanted from an item, it does not get. Drop it into the team builder to see what the rest of the six then have to cover, or take it to the damage calculator to find out whether those 154 points of Attack actually change a knockout.
