Houndoom vs Absol

Cool as Mighteyena may be, we all know it can't really hold a candle to Houndoom, so I thought I'd give it a more formidable matchup. Both are Dark type quadrupedal Pokemon that have at least a vague canine-like appearance. Both are inmensely popular Dark types (and Pokemon in general).

Which do you prefer?

Which is more useful?

Who would win in a battle?

I adore Absol. I fell in love with it the second I laid eyes on it... BUT I've loved Houndoom more and I've loved it longer. While Absol easily makes my top 30 list of favorite Pokemon, Houndoom is pretty solidly in my top 5. So I'm choosing the hellhound for this one.

Absol.

Never really liked Houndoom all that much. I don't know why.
 
Both are awesome, but Absol is a bit cooler. They are both some of the most badass Pokémon.
 
The hardest one yet.

Absol is dark and awesome. But Houndoom has fire...

Absol wins. Barely.

Disaster pokemon ftw.
 
My two favorite dark types... I can't choose.

If I had to, I'd say Houndoom for his typing, but he and Absol are total opposites. Absol is physical and Houndoom is special and they are both really good.
 
Absol, because not only is it my second favourite pokemon, I've been using it in games a lot more. However I did try a Houndoom in my main party in Platinum, so Houndoom's pretty cool too.
 
Might I first say that the Images on page 1 look badass, they look like they're in a real battle :XD2:

Which do I prefer: Houndoom, Because I like it's more canine design, plus its a fire type.

Which would win in battle: Can't say. Absol is more powerful Physically whilst Houndoom is more Specially equipped. Houndoom is faster, and would win a Sucker punch tie but Absol has a better overall movepool.

Most useful: Both in UU, equally good.
 
Eeh, I love them both, but I like Absol just a little more. It is, after all, called the Disaster Pokémon.
 
This is a very good match. Both very popular dark pokemons with strong fan base.
I've never really liked Absol, but I don't hate it either. I'm just normal about him.
Houndoom is in my top 10 favorite pokemons. Hellhounds are wickedly cool and awesome. All the satanic controversies about Houndoom, even made him x10 cooler than the rest of the dark pokemons.
My pick: Houndoom
 
Which do I prefer: Absol
Which would win in battle: Hard to say, Houndoom maybe because of its typing.
Most useful:Absol
ABSOL!! *raises Absol flag*

Plus Absol helped me in Pokemon mystery Dungeon XD
 
How could you!? These are my fav dark-types...I shall flip a coin!
*flips* Absol FTW!
 
Houndoom used Nasty Plot!
Houndooms Special Attack sharply rose!
Absol used Swords Dance!
Absols attack sharply rose!
Houndoom used Flamethrower!
Absol hung on with its Focus Sash!
Absol used Superpower!
It's super effective!
Houndoom fainted!

True story.
 
I like them both but Houndoom is the superior one here with the fire typing. And i think Absol is a little bit overrated because of his looks.
 
Absol sucked since Gen III. It sucks even more now that Zoroark exists.
