Guide
Damage and Speed are important in this set.
Try to KO as many Pokémon as you can in the early game, while leaving some for allies, especially because this set is NOT GOOD in battles with more than 1 opponent with no allies.
The goal is to get to the opponent goals as soon as you get Pursuit. Pursuit can both help you get KOs, rush towards the goals, towards running opponents, or get to your team so you can get assistance during combat, and Sucker Punch gives you another opportunity to get running opponents, who will most likely be running towards either your goals to score, or their goals to heal.
Score Shield is the main item of this set. There's not much that can go wrong during scoring with it. Scope Lens is for a very high crit chance, and boosted crit damage. Float Stone is so you can score faster, and to help by increasing damage during combat. X-Attack, is there because, well, attack is good, but other options are Eject Button and X-Speed (If you want to stay alive without Eldegoss, run Full Heal or Potion)
When Rotom and Drednaw spawn, Absol can often deal with Rotom alone if you're good at dodging, so your best bet is to get some allies to deal with the opponents, and others to deal with Drednaw, or to just deal with opponents. while you beat up on Rotom. After Rotom is KO'd, you can follow Rotom to the goals to score together, head straight into battle to help allies with opponents, or go straight to Drednaw if it wasn't KO'd already.
Remember, scoring is the best thing this set is at doing. Keep the opponents in check as, and don't get into too many fights you can't win
When Zapdos spawns, you do actually want to get it, even though it renders the Score Shield useless due to immediate scoring, no worries, it'll go back to being needed after immediate scoring wears off. Make sure to pair yourself with teammates, and also try to dodge attacks from Zapdos to the best of your ability. I'd recommend having a fully charged UNITE Move, in case you want to steal the kill from opponents, or just get them away from Zapdos via KO.
(Unrelated, but I have seen Zapdos spawn in the complete wrong area, and you are unable to hit it if it does do this)
After Zapdos is KO'd, you and your team should all head over and score immediately. Maybe 1 should guard your goals, but a giant score will definitely help.
Continue to score as much as you can, especially after they double the points you get from scoring, and continue to KO opponents as well.
Works Well With
Snorlax is a good tank. Absol is not a good tank. Snorlax can use Yawn to put opponents to sleep, Heavy Slam to launch opponents, or Block to help prevent opponents from getting to Absol.
Wigglytuff can do many great things. It can pull opponents into combat, put opponents to sleep, and give Absol a shield with it's Unite Move
Eldegoss can help heal Absol's wounds after battle with Pollen Puff or Synthesis, depending on it's level.
