In-Depth Analysis
Sableye's 480 base stat total marks it as a defensive Pokémon that shines at absorbing hits. Defense (125) carries most matchups, but a low Speed stat of 20 means careful positioning matters.
Its Dark, Ghost typing leaves Sableye with 1 weakness against 1 resistance and 3 full immunities. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 2 types for super-effective damage.
A low catch rate of 45 makes Sableye a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Medium Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Attack +1, Defense +1 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
