Sableye (Japanese: ヤミラミ, Hepburn: Yamirami) (SAY-bull-eye) is a Dark/Ghost-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III. It is Mawile's counterpart and natural rival.

Biology

Physiology

Sableye has deep purple-colored fur with small claws, pointed ears, and sharp teeth. It also has two large gemstones on its face which function as eyes, with an additional gem on its chest and three more on its back.

Upon Mega Evolution, the gem on its chest grows so big it rips out of its chest and leaves a small hole in its place. The rest of the energy gained has extended its ears, given it an additional head spike, and more gems on its back (1 green, 1 red and 2 yellow). Its teeth have turned a golden yellow and its eyes red.

Behavior

An old story was told that if you look at Sableye while their eyes burn with a sinister glow, your soul will be stolen. However, evidence suggests that this Pokémon is actually very friendly, and they will only do mischief to travelers to win their attention. Their mischief makes them notorious, but in fact it is only because they stay in the caves for too long and eventually become lonely as a result.

Nonetheless, Sableye in Kalos and Alola are known to stalk Carbink in order to chew the gemstones off of them, but said food is often taken by Gabite before they could grab it. Notoriously, it has a natural rivalry with Mawile in most regions.

Sableye dig holes in cave walls and floors in search of gems and ore, which they crush with their razor-sharp teeth before eating. Minerals in the ore they eat crystallize on the surface of their bodies, forming various arrangements of gems that can differ between individuals. Sableye also move about very erratically, jittering and convulsing with every step as their heads twitch from side to side. This only adds to their eerie demeanors.

Their Mega Evolution appears to use the giant gem as a shield while one tries to target a weak spot. Unfortunately, they spend so much energy supporting the gem that they are left susceptible to sneak attacks.

Natural Abilities

As Sableye hide in the darkness of caves, their diet of gems has transformed their eyes into gemstones. As a Dark/Ghost-type, they only have one weakness, that being Fairy.

Their Mega Evolution grants them a gem shield to deflect attacks, though at the cost of their own mobility.

Evolution

Sableye cannot normally evolve, but can Mega Evolve using a Sablenite.

Appearances

Games

In Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky, there are a group of Sableye that are servants of a Dusknoir, and are constantly spying on and trying to capture the player Pokémon in the world of the future. However, when Dusknoir reforms in the special episode, they do so as well. They demonstrate this by first attacking Primal Dialga to protect Dusknoir (though they are easily blasted away by his Roar of Time) and later by locating Primal Dialga when he is searching for a Passage of Time.

Anime

• Sableye in the anime.
• Mega Sableye in the anime.

1/2

Sableye first appeared in Ready, Willing, and Sableye. The Darkness Pokémon was playing jokes on Ash and his friends.

In the same episode, Sableye also uses the attacks: Mean Look, Lick, Scratch and Night Shade. It should be noted that under normal circumstances Sableye cannot use Lick.

Cassidy's Sableye made a small appearance in Oaknapped!.

A Sableye appears in Genesect and the Legend Awakened.

Trivia

• Sableye shares the same species name with Murkrow, they are both called the Darkness Pokémon.
• Along with Spiritomb, it was the one of a few Pokémon with no weaknesses, ignoring abilities until the introduction of the Fairy type in Generation VI. The other Pokémon with no weaknesses is Tynamo line due to Levitate.
  • Both Pokémon's ability was often hacked into becoming Wonder Guard to be nearly invincible against direct hits.
• The jewels that are on Sableye's body (ruby for chest, sapphire for eyes and emerald for back spikes) correspond to the different Generation III games (Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald).
• It is intended as Mawile‘s counterpart, as both are version exclusives and their Mega Evolutions have identical HP and speed stats. Additionally, the two species seem to represent an "east vs west" motif, as Mawile is inspired by the Japanese Futakuchi-Onna while Sableye is inspired by the western Hopkinsville Goblin.
  • With this in mind, it can assumed that the two Pokémon have some sort of natural rivalry in the same vein as Zangoose and Seviper.
• When Mega Evolved, it is the slowest Dark-type Pokémon.
• Nanu's Sableye is the first Pokémon to use Shadow Sneak in the anime.
• Sableye ranked 3rd, among all Pokémon, in the Pokémon of the Year 2021 poll by The Pokémon Company. It also ranked 1st among all Hoenn Pokémon.

Origin

Sableye resembles a Hopkinsville goblin, which is popular in Japanese anime and video games. It may also draw inspiration from voodoo dolls and gremlins.

In his Mega form Sableye still resembles a Hopkinsville goblin, but this time it carries a huge ruby.

Etymology

Sableye is a combination of sable (meaning dark or black) and eye.
