[SET COMMENTS]
Thanks to its great typing and Prankster-boosted utility moves, Sableye finds a niche in ZU as a physical wall, notably countering the top-tier threat Sawk despite its lackluster defensive stats. Will-O-Wisp cripples most physical attackers like Sawk and Rhydon. Encore allows Sableye to counter setup sweepers like Klinklang and Qwilfish, while Taunt shuts down walls like Miltank and Uxie, preventing their Toxic and Stealth Rock.

Sableye fits best on balance teams looking for a Pokemon to help deal with physical attackers like Sawk, Klinklang, and Qwilfish. Stealth Rock setters like Miltank and Rhydon benefit from Sableye's Fighting immunity and spinblocking. Sableye is vulnerable to Fairy-types, especially Alcremie, which can set up on it, so Steel- and Fire-type Pokemon like Klinklang, Rapidash, and Ninetales make great partners. Strong special attackers such as Ninetales, Appletun, and Jynx are also troublesome, so their switch-ins like Type: Null, Coalossal, and Articuno are appreciated. Switch-ins to Dark- and Fire-type Pokemon are also needed, as Sableye cannot cripple them with Will-O-Wisp, so physical walls such as Poliwrath and Altaria work well.

=============

Foul Play can be used as an alternative to Knock Off, helping against Dark-type foes such as Silvally-Dark; however, Knock Off provides much more value. Leftovers and Rocky Helmet can be used as well instead of Heavy-Duty Boots.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Fairy-types**: Alcremie, Clefairy, and Shiinotic can all threaten Sableye with their STAB attacks. Alcremie in particular can set up on Sableye thanks to Aroma Veil.

**Dark-types**: Silvally-Dark and Skuntank are immune to Prankster-boosted moves, so they can switch into Sableye and proceed to set up on it without worry; however, the former must be wary of Foul Play lest it gets heavily chipped.

**Strong Special Attackers**: Ninetales, Appletun, and Jynx can overpower Sableye due to its low special bulk.

Sableye finds its niche in ZU by performing as a physical wall, notably countering top tier threat Sawk despite its lackluster defensive stats. This is thanks to its great typing, utility moves, and ability in Prankster. Knock Off is the STAB move of choice, crippling checks that switch in by removing their item, such as Alcremie's Leftovers. Will-O-Wisp burns and cripples most physical attackers, allowing Sableye to function as a consistent wall, Dark- and Fire-types breakers cannot be burnt however. Encore can lock foes into setup or useless moves, giving Sableye free turns or a switch. Taunt also prevents setup, in addition to foes trying to heal or use status moves such as Toxic. Recover allows Sableye to stay heathy throughout the game.
(Recover and Knock Off don’t need their own sentences they’re self explanatory on a wall / Dark-type so remove those. Also rewrite the wisp + taunt points because this just states basic info for the most part and really should be more specific to the meta: Encore is super important for Sab to counter setup sweepers like Klinklang and Qwilfish while Taunt shutsdown other walls like Miltank and Uxie, preventing Toxic and Stealth Rock. You also make the wisp point again later but its more fitting there as you add teammate examples to make your point relevant)

Sableye fits best on balance teams looking for a Pokemon to help deal with physical attackers like Sawk, Klinklang, and Qwilfish. Stealth Rock setters Miltank and Rhydon benefit from Sableye's presence as they now have safe switch-ins (spinblocker too). Sableye is vulnerable to Fairy-types, especially Alcremie who can setup on Sableye so Klinklang makes a great partner to cover this weakness, in addition to Fire-types in Rapidash and Ninetales. Strong special attackers such as Ninetales, Appletun, and Jynx are also troublesome so switch-ins to them such as Type: Null, Coalossal, and Articuno are appreciated. Physical Dark- and Fire-type switchins are also needed as Sableye cannot burn them with Will-O-Wisp so Pokemon such as Poliwrath and Altaria work well.

Foul Play can be used as an alternative to Knock Off, helping against Dark-type foes such as Silvally-Dark. It is often not worth it however as removing items with Knock Off provides much more value. Sableye can also attempt a Calm Mind set with Dark Pulse, Recover, and Will-O-Wisp or Taunt. However Sableye is outclassed by Spiritomb as a defensive Calm Mind sweeper.(Mention Leftovers and Rocky Helmet given these defensive items also work as well as Heavy-Duty Boots)

Checks and Counters

**Fairy-types**: Fairy-type Pokemon such as Alcremie, Clefairy, and Shiinotic can all threaten Sableye with their STAB attacks. Alcremie is especially notable as it can setup on Sableye thanks to Aroma Veil. (Great point good job pointing that out)

**Dark-types**: Dark-type Pokemon such as Silvally-Dark and Skuntank are immune to Prankster so can switch into Sableye without worry and then precede to setup on it.

**Strong special attackers**: Strong special attackers such as Ninetales, Appletun, and Jynx can overpower Sableye due to its low special Bulk.

Also, plural (switchins) doesn't make sense since Sableye is only one pokemon in addition to a spinblocker. Sableye is vulnerable to Fairy-types, especially Alcremie who can setup on Sableye so Klinklang makes a great partner to cover this weakness, in addition to Fire-types in Rapidash and Ninetales.

Really good amcheck royalfluxh, only thing I recommend for the future is grouping your additions together and your removals together, as well as spacing them apart. When you have changes jumbled together it can get a bit confusing for the writer. That said, Toto please implement the amcheck and then tag me and I will stamp afterwards.

Blame the GP diff app :psycry: jokes aside, I do agree though. Will definitely fix it the next time I do one of these checks. Thank you!
Toto apologies for being way too messy:zonger:
