My reviews are ratings are for Modified only.

Absol LM

Modified 1/5 - All the popular and winning decks are evolutions, plus the fact that Absol is the only Pokemon you can have in play to activate its Poke-Body makes it extremely useless. The attacks are simply weak overall. The first attack looking for Pokemon-ex is too limited in usefulness. I'll take Lunatone LM anyday over Absol LM.
 

Computer Guy The next COTD Review is Absol (Legend Maker)

Absol is just a mediorce pokemon with below average attacks and a Poke-Body thats really not that good. Sure it will search for an ex but thats why we have Lanette's Net Search and Professor Elm's Training Method and then after you use those trainers you still get to attack. The second attack is nice but not with the Darkness requirement. Weakness to Fighting is horrible and the low Hit Points really hurt Absol.

Ratings

Unlimited: 1/10

Absol is alright. One energy for Extra Call is quite good. Being able to search out an EX for the second/third turn setup is always useful. Two energy for Feint Attack is the gold standard, but through the years the attack has lost its luster. Absol's Pokebody, Shining Horn can make this card useful against Mynx and Lunasol decks, but otherwise I wouldn't expect to see this card anytime soon, unless it becomes a key starting poke for future decks after the format change. This is a pretty decent card in Unlimited, but it's no Sneasel. As for Limited, if you can get this card with one of the EX pokes this can be golden. Unlimited 1.5/5 Modified 2.5/5 Limited 2/5
