Absol vs Pokemon with items attached already

Q : How come Absol's Raid attack doesn't work while Pokemon such as Duskull and Murkrow can be triggered even though there wordings are similar?

A : The wording is fairly similar, but Raid specifically requires you to play Absol from your hand, during your turn. Dusk Stone doesn't really care how Murkrow got into play. Dusk Stone could probably be worded a little more clearly, but, given the space limitations on the card, the R&D team felt that they found a good balance.
