The very first wild pokemon I had a serious problem with was Absol. The thing was wildly OP and wiped out almost my entire team, where I was doing that thing where I'd keep one Mon alive long enough to revive another, and so on, for like 30 minutes. I used every single Pokeball I had, and caught it in a Timer Ball, finally. (I had no idea how pokemon/pokeballs worked yet).

That Absol was named Rage Boy and he lead my entire team on that playthrough. I don't think I ever sent him to boxes. And at the very end of the game, when you can finally judge your Mons, I was shocked to find that it was a 6IV Mon, on a first encounter with that species, on my first playthrough of my first pokemon game!

Needless to say, Absol is in my top 5, if not number 1 favorite Pokemon! I have no idea wtf it's supposed to be, but I always kind of thought of it as a Wolf Goat!
