Strategy Overview

Dark

Sableye is a great stallbreaker on Dark teams because of its defensive typing, reliable recovery, and Prankster. Its Ghost typing gives it an immunity to Fighting, allowing it to check Pokemon like Mega Gallade and Hawlucha, as well as a neutrality to Bug to help with Heracross and Scizor. Its poor special bulk makes it difficult to switch into Pokemon like Landorus when predicting a Fighting-type attack, as well as Mega Charizard Y.
