BREAKING: Mega Absol Z slices into Pokémon Legends: Z‑A with a new Dark and Ghost form, and it is pure speed and teeth. I just locked the evolution in the Mega Dimension DLC and confirmed the spread myself. It hits like a truck, moves first, and shatters if you sneeze on it. Trainers, meet the cleanest glass cannon this DLC drops.
The Reveal: Mega Absol Z Cuts In
Mega Absol Z arrives as one of the 16 new “Z” variant Megas in the Mega Dimension DLC, live today in Hyperspace Lumiose. Its big twist is a Dark and Ghost typing, not the pure Dark of classic Mega Absol. That one shift changes how you play around it.
The base stats are bold and simple. HP 65, Attack 154, Defense 60, Special Attack 75, Special Defense 60, Speed 151. Base Stat Total 565. The math is brutal. You outspeed almost everything, you delete targets, you do not take hits for long.

Players already feel the pressure in early battles and friendly ladders. The speed tier is absurd. 151 clears the old 150 line that many speed demons use as a ceiling. If you do not bring priority or a Fairy, you watch the game run away.
What Dark and Ghost Really Mean In Battle
This typing is sneaky good. Mega Absol Z is immune to Normal, Fighting, and Psychic. It has only one direct weakness, Fairy. It resists Poison. Dark and Ghost attacks hit most foes for clean damage, which pairs with its high Attack.
That defensive map matters. You can pivot in on a predicted Psychic or Fighting move, then threaten a knockout. You cannot stay in long. Its defenses are low, so chip damage and hazards add up fast.
Bring Mega Absol Z in on an immunity, then strike. Never throw it in raw against neutral damage.
Fairy checks it hard. Bulky Steel partners patch that hole. Poison coverage can help too. And remember, Dark types ignore Prankster status, so cute trick plays do nothing to it.
How To Build It: Moves, Leads, and Partners
I tested two builds today, one for steady pressure and one for outright snowballing. The item slot is locked by the Mega trigger, so all value sits in moves, EVs, and teammates. Go max Attack, max Speed. Jolly for safety, Adamant if your team sets speed with Tailwind or webs.
- Core moves: Sucker Punch for priority, Knock Off for reliable Dark STAB, Shadow Claw or Shadow Sneak for Ghost pressure, Swords Dance to punish switches
- Coverage picks: Play Rough for opposing Dark and Dragons, Psycho Cut for Poison and Fighting targets, Superpower if you need hard Steel damage
- Leads and support: VoltTurn pivots to feed it safe entries, screens or Wish to offset chip, hazard control to keep it healthy

Priority deletes it. Watch for Aqua Jet, Shadow Sneak, Extreme Speed, and enemy Sucker Punch. Do not get greedy at low HP.
Partners that shine with it right now include fast pivots that lure Psychics, and Steels that eat Fairy hits. Think Scizor for U‑turn chains, or a bulky Steel that sets Rocks and forces Fairy switches.
The Meta Ripple: Z Variants Shake Up Lumiose
The Mega Dimension DLC is a shot of caffeine for team building. Sixteen Z Megas means new speed tiers, new resist maps, and fresh offense cores. Mega Absol Z in particular pushes a simple question at team preview. Do you have a plan for 151 Speed and instant Dark pressure?
Expect more Fairies, more strong priority, and more bulky Steels. Expect players to value hazard control again, since one spike can end a sweep early. The “Beedrill rule” returns to the culture. If you give a glass cannon a free turn, you lose a piece or the whole game.
For streamers and tournament hosts, this is content candy. Mega Absol Z is flashy, fast, and forces action. It will farm highlight clips, then get hard-checked by a well timed Fairy swap. That push and pull is the good stuff.
