    Yeah, I know Absol isn't too good for competitive use, but I'm using it in-game and it's a beast. Of course, since it's in-game, I use a Scope Lens, so it's Critical Hit is boosted even more (It's got the Super Luck ability)

    So. I have three moves down

    -Sucker Punch
    -Night Slash (STAB and increased Critical hit ratio)
    -Psycho Cut (Deals with Fighting types and increased Critical hit ratio)

    For the last move I'm between Swords Dance for a great boost, or Stone Edge, for coverage (And it also has increased Critical hit ratio...)

    All of these increased Critical moves make each move have a +3 boost with the ability and the item. Shame Absol can't learn Focus Energy, or half of it's attacks would be criticals. I could Baton Pass it but, meh.

    If you have Black/White 2, you can teach Absol Superpower by tutoring. Otherwise, Use Stone Edge because that's the best available TM/HM/Tutor/Breeding move in Black/White 1

    Thanks.
    I'm actually on Platinum, so Stone Edge it is.
    The doubt arised because with only one Swords Dance my Absol was acing everything, and I wasn't sure if Stone Edge was that good for it.

    Edit: There's a Superpower tutor in Platinum, so nevermind, I'll just go for that instead.

    I used Absol in a Double Battle Competitive and he worked out great while working with Landorusin B/W. but that's also because I had Protect for Absol as Well as Hyper Beam or Giga Impact

    I'm not removing Psycho Cut though. Absol's defenses are weak, and with just one psycho cut it can deal with pretty much every fighting type that doesn't resist it (Gallade, Medicham... I sucker punch them instead.)

    I say:

    Sucker Punch
    Swords Dance
    Stone Edge
    Psycho Cut

    With Focus Sash to get S-Dance off then go for S-Punch

    Swords Dance
    Sucker Punch
    Superpower
    Stone Edge

    That should work, I hope.
