Absol is one of the pokemon that is kinda on the border of being a legendary pokemon. It is one of a few pokemon that exist mostly by themselves, being almost legendary, but not being legendary due to not having much background information, or for other reasons are just made to be not legendary to just be awesome pokemon instead of legendaries.
