He's meant to fight others without hesitation and he possesses a lot of special attack strength, but not as much in his defenses since it has quite a few holes that one can exploit to make the fight slightly easier.
His ability allows him to have an easier time with especially multi hit attacks since the ability gives him damage absorption whenever he dishes out damage. (Though this does only go so far with a fixed capacity and the fact that it decays rather quickly if he's not constantly attacking, which brings up the next point of putting constant pressure on him.)
Damage absorption would work like this:

Damage absorption would work like this:
- Example A: Move X deals 30 damage on the Pokémon and they have 5 DA (Damage Absorption), the Pokémon would take 25 damage instead of the full 30.
- Example B: Move X would deal 30 damage total but deals 6 damage per hit; the Pokémon has 5 DA, so the Pokémon would take only 1 damage per hit or 5 damage total instead of the full 30.
