Also, I'm thinking Absol should have a cute little pre-evo. :3 I'm thinking it'd be kinda adorable, yeah~?
...Not sure about an evo for it since it's attack is ridiculously high, but then again that hasn't stopped Pokemon like Rhyhorn from evolving into Rhyperior, so I guess it stands to reason that maybe its time Absol should have an evo, too?
I don't think Sableye and Mawile will get pre-evolution, they both are already pretty weak and do not need a further weaker form. What they DO need is an evolution, I couldn't care less for Mawile, but I have always liked Sableye and I believe it deserves an evolution.
Perhaps they could give it's evolution another ability like Intimidate or something totally new like it absorbs Dark moves for added Hp or something...Absol has strong priority and Super Luck, though... which makes me doubt it ever getting an evolution. Pre-evolution is more likely, yeah.
Absol still is great and its power and SPEED (which Rypherior doesn't really have) makes it scary. Even if it absorbed dark attacks it'd be scary. A Pokemon with that much power doesn't really need to evolve. If it was slower, sure, but it has a great speed tier already honestly.
I would love that to be honest. I wish that it could better use it's large movepool by using a mix set, however it's attack is better. how about Absol's turned into a mix attacker...An Absol evo can very well have more special attack in that regard, y'know~ It does have a pretty wide special attack movepool.
Possible, but would it make a good mixed attacker? Unless its evo's special attack somehow miraculously jumped past 100, it wouldn't be a very viable one. u_u
There are several evolutions that I would love to see in XY, including the aforementioned Absol. I also want one for the awesomeness that is Dunsparce, possibly the first Normal-Ground type. But as for pre-evos, there is one, and only one, that I will be hoping for: a baby Kangaskhan. Of all the babies they've created so far, they keep forgetting to include the most obvious one. xD
Oh that actually brings up a good idea, a special Krookodile. ;) Aura Sphere and Dark Pulse would make it amazing. n_n
Earth Power is equally as effective, and I think that if it were to be specially-based, I don't think that it'd lose its physical capabilities. I mean, Hydreigon is more or less specially-based, but it can run physical or even mixed sets~! So I don't think a special evo for Krookodile would be too bad, actually. :3
Oh right I forgot dark/ground ahaha. Give it Nasty Plot and Power Gem and it'd be scary as in terms of an evolution (if its stats are reversed, that is!)
