Mega Sableye's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Mega Sableye PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Most Mega Evolutions are viable picks for PvE. Even if they are surpassed by Shadows or Legendaries in raw power, they are still an improvement over their base forms. Mega Sableye is unfortunately one of the worst Megas in Pokémon GO, a tragedy when you consider how good it is in the Main Series Games. 😢

Just Mega Evolve your Sableye for the Dex addition.

⚔️ Raids

The only niche Mega Sableye can fulfill in Raids is to heighten the damage output of other Dark and Ghost types due to its Mega boost. This helps since both Dark and Ghost types are mutually used to take on Psychic-type Raid Bosses. A supportive Mega, if you will!

🛡️ Gyms

Mega Evolutions can't be put in Gyms.

💎 The best moves for Mega Sableye in PvE are Shadow Claw and Foul Play.

Mega Sableye PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Mega Evolutions are typically not allowed in the GO Battle League and even in restricted formats like the Mega Master League, Mega Sableye is too underpowered, making it one of the worst Megas Evolutions in Pokémon GO. 😶‍🌫️
