AI AnalysisUpdated: 2026/07/27

Overview

A Dark/Ghost support set used in doubles to some extent. As a Mega, its role is backline support: Magic Bounce reflects opposing status moves such as Will-O-Wisp, Encore, and Disable, while its screen-level B125/D115 bulk lets it stabilize the board with Light Screen, Reflect, Will-O-Wisp, and Encore. Careful and Calm are mainstream natures, with Light Clay and Roseli Berry as core items. However, Mega Stone usage is only a tiny minority, a few percent, while almost all sets use the base form with Prankster, making the Mega an extremely niche option.

Strengths

Its Dark/Ghost typing fully nullifies Normal, Fighting, and Psychic, and reduces Poison to 0.5x. It has only one weakness, Fairy at 2x, making it very easy to switch in.
Magic Bounce reflects opposing Will-O-Wisp, Encore, Toxic, and various status moves, giving it a one-sided advantage in support mirror predictions. It is hard to shut down with status moves.
Its defenses are extremely high at B125/D115, and setting both screens with Light Screen and Reflect greatly reduces damage to the whole side. Even with raw bulk alone, it tends to remain on the field as a screen setter.
It has many ways to control the board without relying on attacks: Will-O-Wisp halves physical attackers' power, Encore locks opposing moves, and Disable blocks support moves. Rain Dance also gives flexibility by enabling allied rain aces.

Weaknesses

Its Speed is S20, among the lowest of all Pokemon. Outside of Trick Room, almost everything moves before it, creating a risk that it is broken before placing screens or support.
Fairy is a 2x weakness, so it cannot reliably take common doubles moves such as Moonblast, Dazzling Gleam, and Play Rough. It is especially easy to break on the special side, despite D115, with STAB Fairy.
It has few attacking moves and is a pure support Pokemon with no finishing power to reverse the board by itself. It cannot fully remove opponents, and its role becomes thin against Fairy types or ability users that are hard to affect with Will-O-Wisp and Encore.
Its HP is low at H50, so once screens expire or a weakness is hit, its overall bulk is not as high as it looks. Because it is defensive, it is easy to turn into setup fodder, and it cannot pressure setup attackers.

Synergy & Partners

Archaludon: Its Steel/Dragon typing lets it resist Fairy, Mega Sableye's only weakness, so it can switch in from the back against troublesome foes. Stamina also improves its staying power, making it a mutually complementary attacker that can remain on the field behind screens.
Pelipper: A rain setter whose role pairs well with Mega Sableye's Rain Dance, supporting the lead with screens and Will-O-Wisp while sharing weather control for rain teams. Its Water/Flying typing covers a wide range outside Fairy, making it easy for the support pair to build board position.
Basculegion: A rain ace with Swift Swim that can double its Speed from Mega Sableye's Rain Dance setup and attack immediately. Screens and Will-O-Wisp help cover its bulk, while this attacker supplies the finishing power that the slower Sableye lacks.

Counters & Threats

Grimmsnarl: Its Dark/Fairy typing resists the STAB moves of Dark/Ghost, and it can hit back with Spirit Break (Fairy 2x). Base 60 Speed also lets it move first.
Whimsicott: With base 116 Speed, it outspeeds Dark/Ghost and can revenge kill with Moonblast (Fairy 2x). Its role is not to switch in defensively, but to check it from above.
Primarina: With base 60 Speed, it outspeeds Dark/Ghost and can aim for a revenge kill with Moonblast (Fairy weakness). Rather than switching in on resistances, it pressures the target before it can move as an offensive check from above.

Roles:Doubles SupportStall

Invests heavily in HP and Sp. Def, A support-focused build that arranges the board with priority status moves via the Prankster Ability Sableye. Mitigates damage from its only weakness — Fairy moves — with Roseli Berry, and deploys both screens to reduce damage taken by allies.

Alternative Move Options

After You is interchangeable with Thunder Wave

Replace

Quash

With

Thunder Wave

Aftermath (After You / Hold Back) and Thunder Wave are alternative moves. Aftermath reliably slows turn order. Thunder Wave, on the other hand, has the merit of slowing through paralysis and randomly preventing action, but it doesn't affect Electric or Ground types, and Trick Room also has a backfire downside.

Reflect is interchangeable with Will-O-Wisp

Replace

Reflect

With

Will-O-Wisp

Will-O-Wisp can be adopted in place of Reflect. Will-O-Wisp has a higher damage reduction rate than Reflect, but only lowers one target's attack and is nullified by Fire-types, so be careful.

Role of the Doubles-oriented After You build

Plays the support role of deploying Reflect / Light Screen with priority to raise all allies' bulk. Also uses After You to slow fast opposing Pokémon's turn order, and Creates situations where allies can attack first and safely — a flexible playstyle.

Threats

Dark-types and Pokémon with abilities that nullify priority moves

Dark-types are immune to status moves from Pokémon with the Prankster Ability, and Foul Play is also halved, making them unfavorable matchups. Also, the Ability Armor Tail or Queenly Majesty Pokémon also nullify it. Adopt Pokémon that can defeat unfavorable matchups in the team.

Overview

Strengths

Its Dark/Ghost typing fully nullifies Normal, Fighting, and Psychic, and reduces Poison to 0.5x. It has only one weakness, Fairy at 2x, making it very easy to switch in.
Magic Bounce reflects opposing Will-O-Wisp, Encore, Toxic, and various status moves, giving it a one-sided advantage in support mirror predictions. It is hard to shut down with status moves.
Its defenses are extremely high at B125/D115, and setting both screens with Light Screen and Reflect greatly reduces damage to the whole side. Even with raw bulk alone, it tends to remain on the field as a screen setter.
It has many ways to control the board without relying on attacks: Will-O-Wisp halves physical attackers' power, Encore locks opposing moves, and Disable blocks support moves. Rain Dance also gives flexibility by enabling allied rain aces.

Weaknesses

Its Speed is S20, among the lowest of all Pokemon. Outside of Trick Room, almost everything moves before it, creating a risk that it is broken before placing screens or support.
Fairy is a 2x weakness, so it cannot reliably take common doubles moves such as Moonblast, Dazzling Gleam, and Play Rough. It is especially easy to break on the special side, despite D115, with STAB Fairy.
