Mega Sableye PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

• Dark Attacker:Feint AttackNight Shade+
• Ghost Attacker:Feint AttackNight Shade+

Most Mega Evolutions possess a decent to extremely high ATK stat, making them instant hits in their respective typings. A few are a departure from this trend, including Mega Sableye, a Pokémon with only 151 ATK! But does the addition of the powerful 160 DMG Night Shade+ help its cause and finally make it a relevant Ghost-type attacker? And what about the Dark type?

As a Ghost type

No. Even with a strong Charged Attack and the perk of being a Mega Evolution, Mega Sableye is useless as a Ghost-type attacker. For perspective, its DPS numbers are lower than regular Houndstone and Drifblim. Forget competing with Megas and Shadows, it's not even worth your time in Tier 1 Raids. It could have been a defensive unit in Raids given its decent DEF, but that lowly HP stat takes off that privilege as well.

As a Dark type

Mega Sableye performs so poorly with a +Charged Attack, imagine how bad it is with the humble combo of Feint Attack and Foul Play. In this case, even Mabosstiff hits harder than Mega Sableye.

When it comes to usage in Raids, Mega Sableye should be strictly forbidden.

🔵 Mega Great League

Mega Sableye is excellent in the Mega Great League, to the point that it's considered one of the best for this format! With only one weakness (although a double-weakness), and jaw-dropping coverage with its Ghost, Dark, and Fairy moves, this Pokémon rampages through. It beats Megas like Drain Punch Mega Sableye, Mega Malamar, Mega Houndoom, Mega Chesnaught, Mega Charizard X, Mega Altaria, and Mega Dragonite! In fact, among the top Great League Megas, it only struggles against Mega Raichu X.

Additionally, it also takes down Hisuian Electrode, Rillaboom, Dondozo, Shadow Forretress, and even Normal types like Dunsparce and Vigoroth. While still quite strong in the (0-0) shield scenario, Mega Sableye ends up losing to most Mega Evolutions in this situation (though it ironically beats Mega Raichu X here!). As such, it's best to use Mega Sableye early or mid-game, and not as a closer.

With a max CP of only 2196, Mega Sableye fizzles out in the higher PvP Leagues. Since it's not ideal for Raids, Mega Sableye is best kept for your Mega Great League teams.
