I guess if you count countering every non-fire non-guts physical attacker when used properly as 'niche'. I think you weren't around the last few pages, Sableye is the opposite of niche he outright walls Kangaskhan 99% of the time and buts a full stop on nearly every physical attacker including...

Personally if you're going to Lum Berry, you might as well just run Natural Cure instead. Interestingly a Horn Leech + Assault Vest + Natural Cure set has quite immense sustain.

Use http://pokemonshowdown.com/damagecalc/ It's been updated for gen6 252+ Atk Parental Bond Mega Kangaskhan Return vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Conkeldurr: 279-328 (79.4 - 93.4%) +2 252+ Atk Parental Bond Mega Kangaskhan Return vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Conkeldurr: 555-654 (158.1 - 186.3%)

Best set imo is 252hp/252def Bold (his atk doesn't matter unless you use Knock Off and this helps vs other Sableyes) Sableye relies on Wisp for his physical bulk not his base stats. The combination of def/hp/burn is what makes Sableye so fat. So investing in special weakens that role and ruins...

It's good to challenge other opinions because that's where you find flaws. If an idea stands up to scrutiny than imo it's a good idea. I feel that Sableye does stand up to scrutiny, but we can also look at stuff that does beat Sableye without influencing match-ups elsewhere. So Togekiss is a...

Because mega kang is bulky but lacks recovery outside of Drain Punch/Wish sets which unless you're running a pure bulky set isn't ideal for offense. In this case you can switch Togekiss in on Sableye, Wish, then switch to Kang to get the wish. This is prediction heavy but this lets a MKang/Kiss...

Ahh, accident hitting the -atk nature. Also this is Showdown's calc which does account for Fairy Typing, here is a much more accurate Brave calc 0+ Atk Ferrothorn Gyro Ball (103) vs. 252 HP / 170+ Def Togekiss: 186-222 (49.7 - 59.3%) Changes things a lot ofc, however I still believe Kiss...

Bulky Togekiss makes an effective partner for Kangaskhan, she 4x resists Fighting now, resists Knock Off/Foul Play from Sableye, KOs with Dazzling Gleam and doesn't care about being burned, and she can even Wish Pass and Heal Bell for MKang. Bold 252 hp / 170 def / 88 spa Wish, Heal Bell, Air...

Again, I addressed that, Scrappy Kang STILL loses. He gets burned, and he needs to be +4 or better to deal more than 50% of Sableye's HP, meaning he needs to be +4 to out damage recover. +1 alone means Sableye 2HKOs with Foul Play. It's even worse than that. +2 0- Atk Sableye Foul Play vs. 0...

Thing is you can also predict the switch out and safely Recover while he switches something in. You can also double switch and gain momentum on your opponent by switching to Sableye then immediately to a pivot. When predicting correctly you actually force your opponent to switch more than you...

True, but with lefties and recover a Sableye can switch into MKanga. He has very likely two turns to burn Kangaskhan, at which point Sableye walls him completely with Recover and can kill him with Foul Play. Sableye also stops him from ever getting PUP off. If your opponent has a Kangaskhan...

No. It's an issue when you have to go down several tiers to find something, and Sableye was very nearly OU during the beginning of BW, in many cases he had a good usage and was an answer to many of a metagame's woes. It's broken if you have to use something like a Corsola with a very weird...

The best thing about Sableye though is that he's not a niche answer, there are some mons he cant deal with like Talonflame or Guts users, but a ton of physical pokemon out right now are walled, checked or killed by Sableye. So Kangaskhan doesn't require a very akward or incredibly niche...

Reuniclus @ Assault Vest Calm - Regenerator 252 hp / 88 spa / 170 sdef Psyshock Shadow Ball Focus Blast Hidden Power: Fire / Energy Ball I've been refining this set last few weeks and it's been deceptively strong. I've posted calcs before about how much this guy can tank, but the spread has...

My bad, this was calc'd with Calm. Theoretically you could go bold, but Calm maximizes your odds of a few chance 2KHOs, sometimes letting you squeak by as a 3HKO I redid the iv's to be more like 252hp/72def/188sdef This maximizes your regenerator bulk/mixed bulk, Reuniclus has a base 110 hp...

I'm using a Magikarp and a Japanese Magikarp as my stand-ins. Obviously there's some play with the abilities, but at the moment I'm mainly looking for Masuda-Methoding.

Not sure if this was posted before but.. Reuniclus @ Assault Vest Regenerator 72hp/188def/252sdef -Psychic -Shadow Ball -Focus Blast -Energy Ball Prior to XY Magic Guard was just obvious for Reuniclus, with Trick Room and Calm Mind builds, he didn't like switching out very much. Regenerator...
