[SET COMMENTS]

Mega Sableye's access to Magic Bounce, allowing it to bounce hazards from Pokemon like Landorus-T, Ferrothorn, and Toxapex, as well as decent utility moves and servicable bulk, allows it to have a irreplicaple role on stall teams. It's typing also allows it to block Rapid Spin attenpts from Great Tusk and Terapagos, as well as check Mega Medicham, one of the most dangerous Pokemon for stall teams to face. Knock Off can remove Heavy-Duty Boots from Pokemon like Moltres, Zapdos, and Terapagos, allowing them to get worn down by hazards over the course of a long game. Will-o-Wisp greatly reduces the damage output of Pokemon like Great Tusk, Iron Treads, and Garchomp, allowing for Mega Sableye to safely stay in on them long-term. Protect allows Sableye to mega evolve safely, scout moves from common Choice item users such as Kartana, Iron Valiant, and Hisuian Samurott, and gradually accrue chip damage from Will-o-Wisp, as well as Toxic from Mega Sableye's teammates.
Paragraph 1
  • the role that the Pokemon plays;
  • coverage moves that affect its role, there's no need to explain simple STAB moves unless they're slashed;
  • a description of the EV spread in one sentence or less; don't focus on "default" things like maximum Attack investment, do give reasoning behind the benchmarks chosen (max/max spreads can skip this);
  • item(s) and how they affect its role, and ability/abilities if applicable.
Paragraph 2
  • a sentence explaining the type of team that the Pokemon is used on;
  • a brief example of teammates that benefit from the analysed Pokemon's presence;
  • a brief example of foes that the analysed Pokemon is vulnerable to + teammates to help cover them.
