Battle notes
- Sableye's Dark / Ghost typing is best attacked with Fairy (2x). Start with those attacking types when choosing moves or counter Pokémon.
- Avoid relying on common Normal, Fighting, Psychic, Poison attacks unless they have unusually high power or a secondary purpose, because Sableye resists or ignores those matchups.
- This guide uses the modern Gen 6+ type chart only. Abilities, held items, Terastallization, weather, fields, and special move rules can still change real battle outcomes.
