I understand his face is a yin-yang. But why? The purpose of including such a symbol is clearly meant to symbolize or communicate SOMETHING important. . .yet I have no idea what that is. Why he am yin yang?

>>59499404absol is already based on a divine creature of chinese mythology so they decided to double down on chinese shit by shoehorning in a daoism motif, that's literally it
>>59499418>winged cat with a womans facehow is that not a sphinx
>>59499487cats already have flat faces you fucking clod, Absol doesn't have a human face
It's probably to do with it being a Dark Type, but one who is not evil. The yin yang is telling you that although Absol may appear evil outwardly, behind all that there is a seed that is pure good (or something, idk)Absol has black magic and powers linked to tragedy and misfortune, but it chooses to use its evil powers for good purposes
>>59499404I think it is for contrast between what Absol does and how people misunderstands the messages of disasters.Or forget what I just say, the side of hair on an eye looks nice.
