Absol is a Dark-type Pokémon once available in 4-star Raids, and now in 3-star Raids.
It is solo-able for high-level Trainers with teams consisting of top Bug-, Fairy-, and Fighting-type counters such as Machamp, Blaziken, Togekiss, and Hariyama. Lower-level Trainers or Trainers lacking proper counters should Raid in larger groups (2-20) to take out the Disaster Pokémon.

ABSOL-utely Perfect
Absol was once a fun 4-star duo, even being soloable as a 4-star at one point in time. With it’s reign in 4-star Raids over, it is now a fun solo. Easily done with a team of Machamps, and it has the possibility of being shiny. As far as meta relevance goes, Absol is decent. There’s probably a very high chance you have better counters already in your arsenal, but if you’re in a pinch, Absol won’t embarrass you.
