Sableye is a Pokemon with a unique niche in the tier thanks to its good typing, utility options, and access to Prankster, allowing it to deal with several offensive threats such as Calm Mind Sigilyph and Swords Dance Bewear. Its typing allows it to check all Fighting-types, some Psychic-types, and act as a spin blocker. However, Sableye's poor base stats makes it vulnerable to strong wallbreakers it can't burn or threaten, such as Drapion, Scrafty, and Gardevoir. Will-O-Wisp allows it to punish physical attackers and chip its opponents, whereas Encore punishes status moves, especially set up and recovery such as a Bewear and Snorlax. The 12 Special Defense EVs means that Sableye is never 2HKOed by unboosted Shadow Ball from a Nasty Plot Toxicroak.
Sableye primarily fits on stall teams, but also on balance, due to it checking many prominent wallbreakers such as Calm Mind Sigilyph, Bewear, and Toxicroak. Special walls like Bronzong and Umbreon are good partners for Sableye, as they can both deal with Special attackers like Gardevoir and Goodra. ( Sableye also requires Fairy-type answers such as Vileplume, Bronzong, and Copperajah. Answers to Dark-types such as Scrafty and Drapion are also very important, as both of them can use Sableye as setup fodder. Due to this, teammates like Passimian and Gardevoir are good to have. Sableye also appreciates cleric support, so Pokemon like Vaporeon and Umbreon pair with it really well. Finally, Sableye can be worn down by entry hazards and especially does not like Toxic Spikes, so hazard control from Pokemon like Mantine, Charizard, and Silvally-Steel is appreciated.
