Attacks Used By Rogue Mega Absol
This Mega Absol is fought at Level 25. It will charge up and use an AoE (Area of Effect) attack that you will have to dodge. If you run away from that attack, Lucario will do so as well. This AoE attack increases its range further when Mega Absol is at 50% health.
When its HP is extremely low, that’s when it starts using its largest AoE attack, which almost reaches the end of the battlefield. Make sure to position yourself and your Pokemon in the right place so as to not get caught up in its attack.

How To Mega Evolve Your Pokemon

In order to Mega Evolve your Pokemon, you will have to collect the Mega Power orbs that are coming off of Mega Absol. This will scatter more often when Lucario attacks Absol. Once the meter on the bottom right is full, Lucario can Mega Evolve. This will put you on a more equal footing with Mega Absol.
Keep using the same tactics as before, except now you deal more damage. However, the Mega Power meter will continuously drop, so keep collecting orbs. Once you defeat the Rogue Mega Absol, you will earn the Absolite. And the wild Absol decides to join your party out of gratitude. This gives you your own Mega Pokemon to use against further Mega Evolutions.
