Shadow Sableye's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Shadow Sableye PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Shadow Sableye’s stats are far too low for any form of PvE relevance, sadly 😕

⚔️ Raids - By no means is Shadow Sableye a viable contender as a Raid attacker 👎

🛡️ Gyms - It is only weak to Fairy-type attacks, but its underwhelming defenses ensure that it just doesn't last 🫣

Shadow Sableye PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Shadow Sableye is a top-notch threat in the Great League, ripping apart opponents with its excellent moveset.

Before the Max Out GBL Season, Purified Sableye was the only viable one thanks to Return, but with the jaw-dropping buff to Power Gem, Shadow Sableye is now a menace 😈

🔵 Great League - Shadow Sableye is among the best picks for the Great League, leveraging the wide coverage and energy gains of Shadow Claw to fire off Foul Play and Power Gem 💎

While it loses out on some bulk as a Shadow Pokémon, it gains an appreciable damage boost that makes its moveset all the more deadly ⭐ Ultimately, it's a great fit for any team ✅

🟡 Ultra League - Shadow Sableye’s display of strength is only limited to the Great League, as it doesn't have the stats to compete in the Ultra League ❌

🟣 Master League - Even thinking of using Shadow Sableye in the Master League is overkill 😅
