Best Sableye Builds in Pokemon Champions

Sableye has two main builds in Pokemon Champions. The Prankster support build is the standard option, while the Mega build gives Sableye more defensive staying power.

Build 1: Prankster Utility Support

This is the main Sableye build. It uses priority support moves to disrupt physical attackers and protect teammates.

Build 2: Mega Sableye Defensive Support

This version uses Mega Evolution to gain Magic Bounce and stronger defensive value. It works best on slower teams.

Sableye Stats

Sableye stats are shown below for easy comparison.

Best Items for Sableye

Sitrus Berry is the safest item for Prankster support because it gives immediate recovery.

Sablenite is the best item for the Mega build because Magic Bounce changes Sableye’s support role.

Best Pokemon to Pair with Sableye

Sableye works best with Pokemon that cover its weaknesses, support its preferred speed control or help it find safer turns.

What Sableye Is Good Against

Sableye is useful against physical attackers and support-heavy teams. Will-O-Wisp, Taunt and Foul Play let it punish setup and contact threats.

Its Dark and Ghost typing gives it useful immunities into Normal, Fighting and Psychic-type attacks.

Potential Counters for Sableye

Sableye is threatened by Fairy-type attacks and strong special attackers. Dark-types are also immune to Prankster status moves in many formats.
