Sableye acts as a stallbreaker for Dark teams with its combination of Prankster and Taunt, being able to shut down annoying threats like Bulk Up Corviknight, hazard setters like Ferrothorn, and defensive Pokemon like Toxapex, while also having reliable recovery in Recover. It can also act as a Fighting-type check with its good typing in Ghost / Dark, giving it a immunity to this type while also being immune to Rapid Spin. It can also cripple physical attackers that threaten Dark teams such as Mamoswine with Will-O-Wisp. Using Knock Off it can get rid of important items such as Black Sludge and Leftovers from certain Pokemon, helping it stallbreak more efficiently. Sableye runs a fully specially defensive spread to increase its overall bulk, being able to take hits better from Pokemon as Duraludon and Gengar because it already fights physical attackers decently through burning them. However, due to its mediocre defensive stats, Sableye can't switch into powerful attacks such as Dracovish's Fishious Rend.

Sableye pairs well with Tyranitar and Mandibuzz, covering for Sableye's average defenses and taking care of powerful attackers such as Choice Specs Dragapult and Bisharp respectively, forming a good defensive core. Mandibuzz can Defog hazards away so Sableye can enter more comfortably onto the field. Also, a teammate such as Toxic Spikes Drapion helps it by spreading status, but note that Sableye would then not be able to burn Pokemon like Mamoswine when they are already poisoned. Wallbreakers such as Hydreigon, Bisharp, (AC) and Grimmsnarl are also good teammates for Sableye, being able to clean more easily with Sableye preventing hazards being set and wearing down the enemy team. Bisharp and Drapion also help in the Fairy matchup, which is a matchup problematic for Dark. Grimmsnarl also helps Sableye versus other Dark teams due to Dark-type's immunity to Prankster.

- Need to go more in depth about what Prankster Taunt is good for. Hazard setters, setup sweepers, and breaking down defensive Pokemon are all things that should be listed.
- Say how its Ghost typing is useful for Dark teams as it can block Rapid Spin too.
- Mention a few Pokemon that specially defensive investments allow Sableye to take on better, and that it can burn the physical attackers just fine with Will-O-Wisp.

- I wouldn’t talk about how Tyranitar, Mandibuzz, and Sableye form a defensive core that types like Ghost and Psychic struggle to break, just talk about how they compliment Sableye.
- I would change the wording on Drapion to the fact that they both work together to spread status. I wouldn’t say Drapion’s Toxic Spikes are amazing for Sableye because it means it can’t cripple Pokemon like Dracovish and Mamoswine with Will-O-Wisp when they’re both already poisoned.
- Please name some examples of offensive Pokemon that appreciate Sableye. Being a stallbreaker is great for wearing down the opposing team and preventing hazards, which means offensive Pokemon naturally appreciate it.

This is quite a lot to implement, so please tag me here when you do it. Then I’ll look over it again and stamp it. If you need help with anything feel free to PM me on discord.

 

[DYA]

It should be fine now Decem

 

[mushamu]

- Its recovery should be mentioned somewhere.
- Not too keen on Kommo-o and Hydreigon as examples for special bulk since Sableye loses to those two anyways. I would use maybe Duraludon and Gengar as examples over them.

- Mandibuzz can use Defog to remove hazards for Sableye.
Due to its not that high defensive stats it can't switch in powerful attacks such as Dracovish Fishious Rend.
- Make this a usage tip and put it at the top if anything. Like for example, you could talk about switching Sableye into strong physical attackers without burning them isn’t recommended as its bulk isn’t the best.
- Add Bisharp and Grimmsnarl to the list of offensive Dark type Pokemon that appreciate Sableye’s stallbreaking.

QC 1/2

Mention that Drapion is also great in the Fairy matchup which can be problematic for Dark. You could say this for Bisharp as well.

Talk about how Grimmsnarl is great against opposing Dark teams as Sableye can't use its Prankster against them.

Sableye acts as a stallbreaker for Dark teams with his its combination of Prankster and Taunt, being able to shut down annoying threats like Bulk Up Corviknight, hazard setters like Ferrothorn, (AC) and or defensive Pokemon like Toxapex; and, (AC) while also having a reliable recovery in Recover. It can also act as a Fighting-type check with it's its good typing in Ghost / Dark, giving it a immunity to this type and being also inmune while also being immune to Rapid Spin. It can also cripple physical attackers that threaten Dark teams such as Mamoswine with Will-O-Wisp. Using Knock Off it can blow away some can get rid of important items such as Black Sludge and Leftovers from certain Pokemon, helping it with his stallbreaker roll stallbreak more efficiently. (what you had before felt choppy and a little unclear at some points) It Sableye runs a fully specially defensive spread to increase its overall bulk, (AC) being able to take hits better from Pokemon as Duraludon and Gengar because it already fights decently physical attackers decently through burning them. However, due to its mediocre defensive stats, Sableye can't switch into powerful attacks such as Dracovish's Fishious Rend. (this line fits much better in this paragraph, since it continues to talk about its defenses)

Due to its not that high defensive stats it can't switch in powerful attacks such as Dracovish Fishious Rend. It Sableye pairs well with Tyranitar and Mandibuzz, complimenting covering for Sableye's average defenses weakness (i'm assuming that's what you meant here) and taking care of powerful attackers such as Choice Specs Dragapult and Bisharp respectively, (AC) forming a good defensive core. Mandibuzz can Defog hazards away so Sableye can enter more comfortably in onto the field. Also, (AC) a teammate such as Toxic Spikes Drapion helps it by spreading status, but note that then Sableye will would then not be able to burn Pokemon like Mamoswine when they are already poisoned. Wallbreakers such as Hydreigon, Bisharp, (AC) and Grimmsnarl are also good teammates for him Sableye, being able to clean more easily with the help of Sableye in preventing hazards being set and wearing down the enemy team. Bisharp and Drapion also helps in the Fairy matchup, which is a matchup problematic for Dark. Also Grimmsnarl, who help versus other Dark teams, where Sableye struggles do to their immunity to Prankster. Grimmsnarl also helps Sableye versus other Dark teams due to Dark-type's immunity to Prankster.
