    Snarl would better fit the personality.

    i would say ice beam because you need a move that can cause damage quick to your opponent and snarl does not do that

    As you already know Perish Song is only really good against defencive teams as they don't have much offencive options so by the time those turns are up, you'll have likely snatched a ko. But, Absol won't succeed at this well considering most defencive teams opt for Mega Sableye or Clefable as answers which Absol won't get past. Best you can hope for really is ko'ing a Toxapex without Shed Shell.

    That aside, if you want it to be more effective at stallbreaking, it needs to exchange Ice Beam, Protect, and perhaps its Megastone to be able to trap more defensive Pokémon. For a better matchup against balance, perhaps giving it Ice Beam and Flamethrower would catch stuff like Scizor and Landorus-T off-guard and ensure hazards don't go up on your side.

    I can look into it if you want but I apologise for delayed responses. It's almost as if my internet's on another planet it's so bad.

    @divine true, but I'm only looking for effectiveness in the 4th move @brady with no Sp Atk investment neither will be doing much, and with Snarl's stab both will be doing about the same @richard I don't plan on being able to sweep with this, just use it in stopping atleast 1 or 2 threats, with magic bounce it should atleast be able to stop some support mons and walls

    landorus probably isn't worth attempting to perish song, since even an uninvested landorus could definitely take out a mega absol within the turns needed for perish song opponent's can't set hazards anyway because of magic bounce i'm also considering jolly with the 4th move as knock off, anyone think that'd be more effective?

    That's true, but how reliable do you believe it'll be in preventing them? A Ferrothorn for example could quite honestly sit there and take repeated Ice Beams whilst spamming Stealth Rock, where it can afford to lose multiple 50/50's where Absol can't. I once took down a crocune with only a Prankster Sableye where one wrong turn cost me the game but an event like that'll likely never happen again.

    It's just nice to have some offencive presence since most walls can't touch it anyway and can be perished with only Mean Look and Perish Song. Afterwards I thought maybe Will-O-Wisp could be used as middle ground for Scizor, Ferrothorn, Landorus, Garchomp and such and Knock Off would be nice utility. Up to you though.

    decided on knock off, so far it's been doing pretty well in stopping non offensive pokemon, and forcing switches
