Hindrance Build Explanation

Build Explanation
This build centers on ganking and locking down opponents using Knock Off and Confuse Ray. It also deals decent burst damage against isolated targets.
· Float Stone is a core item for the build, giving Sableye extreme mobility when roaming the map. It also has great synergy with Prankster. · Muscle Band improves Sableye's attack damage and attack speed, maximizing its damage output when locking down a target. · Attack Weight provides a large damage boost to Sableye's moves and attacks, especially when fully stacked. · However, Razor Claw is a good substitute for Attack Weight, giving Sableye a chance to critical-hit. · X Speed gives Sabeleye more mobility on top of its innate movement speed. It's particularly effective when moving through the enemy lane flux when needed. · The build's Boost Emblem loadout should consist of 6 Brown Emblems for extra damage and 4 White Emblems for more survivability. · Equip Emblems that improve Attack or HP for a balanced build. · However, if possible, equipping Emblems that increase Critical-hit rate could also work, giving Sabeleye a higher chance to deal critical-hits. · Sp. Atk., Sp. Def., and Defense can be freely traded for any of the other stats.

Hindrance Build Damage Test

Items (Level 30) + Float Stone	Knock Off (@ Lvl 15) Confuse Ray (@ Lvl 15)	Basic Attack (@ Lvl 15) Boosted Attack (@ Lvl 15)
Muscle Band + Attack Weight (6 Stacks)	1692 1068	789 1003

Since the build in centered on locking down targets with Knock Off and Confuse Ray, equipping items that increases their damage while taking into account Sableye's attack damage is the ideal item combination. Float Stone is a core item for the build to give Sableye extra mobility and damage.

As the results show, Muscle Band and a fully-stacked Attack Weight will produce the best outcome for the build. The item combination deals the highest move and attack damage but does not do critical-hits.

As for alternatives, replacing Attack Weight with Razor Claw would be the best option. Although the item combination does not generate the highest damage output in the tests, it still gives Sableye a decent attack damage and a chance to critical-hit.

Scouting Build

Scouting Build
Moveset			Held Items
Shadow Sneak Feint Attack			Float Stone Exp. Share Leftovers

Yellow x7 Any Color x3			Positive Stats: • Attack • Movement Speed Free Negative Stats: • Sp. Atk • Defense • Sp. Def
Note: The emblem color and stats here are suggestions only. The builds are still viable even without the suggested emblems.

Scouting Build Explanation

Build Explanation
This is a support build centered on scouting for the team using the stealth from Shadow Sneak and the vision mechanic from Feint Attack. It can also deal decent damage thanks to Shadow Sneak's Boosted Attack bonus damage.
· Float Stone is the core item for the build, giving Sableye the mobility to quickly roam the map and scout for enemies. · Exp. Share ensures that Sableye and its lane partner level up as fast as possible. It also gives a large movement speed boost for additional mobility. · Leftovers allows Sableye to stay active in the map even if on low HP. It also synergizes extremely well with Sableye's stealth capabilities and Shadow Sneak's healing effect. · However, Attack Weight or Muscle Band can be a great alternative for Leftovers, giving Sableye more damage in exchange for healing. · X Speed gives Sableye an active mobility tool that can be use offensively or defensively. · The build's Boost Emblem loadout should consist of 7 Yellow Emblems for more out-of-combat movement speed and 3 Emblems of any color. · Equip Emblems that improve Movement Speed, Attack, or HP for more mobility, damage, or durability. · Sp. Atk., Sp. Def., and Defense can be freely traded for any of the other stats.

Scouting Build Speed and Damage Test

Items (Level 30)	Estimated Time (@ Lvl 15)
Float Stone + Exp. Share	7s

Since the build revolves around scouting and giving vision for the team, equipping items that increases Sableye's movement speed is the ideal item combination.

As the results show, having Float Stone and Exp. Share will give Sableye the highest movement speed possible when out of combat. Even if having Float Stone only will still produce more or less the same result, the boosted experience gain from Exp. Share is crucial in the early game.

For alternatives, replacing Leftovers with Attack Weight or Muscle Band would be the best option. However, this will ultimately depend on whether a player prefers more damage for Shadow Sneak or Feint Attack.

Scoring Build Explanation

Build Explanation
This build utilizes the stealth from Shadow Sneak and Prankster to aggressively score throughout the game. Confuse Ray gives Sableye some crowd control to use during fights or a way to escape after scoring a goal.
· Attack Weight is the best score-based item for the build, giving Sableye a large damage boost. · However, it can be replaced with Aeos Cookie for more HP instead. · Float Stone allows Sableye to quickly roam around the map to score points while also providing a nice amount of damage. · Score Shield ensures that Sableye will be able to score safely and successfully. It also gives a decent amount of HP. · Goal-Getter allows Sableye to quickly score points, especially when it's maxed out. The shield from Score Shield coupled with Goal-Getter's scoring speed increase makes it extremely difficult for opponents to prevent Sabeleye from scoring. · The build's Boost Emblem loadout should consist of 7 Yellow Emblems for more out-of-combat movement speed and 3 Emblems of any color. · Equip Emblems that improve Movement Speed, Attack, or HP for more mobility, damage, or durability. · Sp. Atk., Sp. Def., and Defense can be freely traded for any of the other stats.

Scoring Build Speed and Damage Test

Items (Level 30)	Estimated Time (@ Lvl 15)	Shadow Sneak (Boosted Attack) (@ Lvl 15) Confuse Ray (@ Lvl 15)
Float Stone	7s	-
Attack Weight (6 Stacks)	-	1736 1052

Since the build focuses on scoring, equipping items that increase Sableye's movement speed and help it score more efficiently is the ideal item combination.

As the result show, even having Float Stone only will give Sableye just as much movement speed when out of combat as also having Exp. Share. Moreover, since Shadow Sneak will be mainly used for stealth, which leaves Confuse Ray as Sableye's primary damage move, equipping Attack Weight instead of Muscle Band will be better for Sableye.

For alternatives, replacing Attack Weight with Aeos Cookie would be the best option, increasing Sableye's HP instead of damage. Although it would be great to have both score-based items, replacing Float Stone or Score Shield will be detrimential for the build.

Sableye Best Items & Moveset

Best Held Items

Item	Explanation
Exp. Share	Since Sableye's focused on aiding its teammates by slowing down its enemies, Exp. Share allows Sableye to passively gain exp and get its movesets early on.
Attack Weight	Significantly raises Sableye's Standard Attack damage with each stack, and lets Sableye deal more damage when attacking enemies from behind.
Aeos Cookie	Significantly increases Sableye's HP for each stack. It can be a great supplement item for strategies that involve stealth scoring.
Float Stone	Raises Sableye's Movement Speed and allows it to traverse around the map faster outside of combat.
Focus Band	Lets Sableye gain extra Defense and Sp. Defense and stay longer during clashes due to the extra healing it provides.
Muscle Band	Adds more damage to Sableye's Standard Attacks while also raising Sableye's Attack Speed. It helps the Pokemon pressure opponents faster, especially when it attacks from stealth.
Razor Claw	Razor Claw adds a slow effect to Sableye's moves everytime it hits an opponent. This synergizes well with the Pokemon's knack for employing hit and run tactics.

List of Held Items

Best Battle Items

Item	Explanation
Goal-Getter	Goal-Getter works great with Sableye's stealthy gameplay. It allows the Pokemon to quickly score points, especially when maxed out.
Eject Button	Eject Button provides Sableye a quick and easy way to disengage from fights when its position is compromised.
X Speed	X Speed provides Sableye more mobility and also gives immunity from slows as a bonus.

List of Battle Items

Best Moveset

Move	Explanation
Knock Off	Knock Off is a great crowd control move that also deals decent damage. It can prevent opponents from scoring by removing the amount of Aeos Energy they carry.
Confuse Ray	Confuse Ray is a strong single-target disable that useful against hard hitters. Although it is not a stun, it does make the target uncontrollable for a short duration.

With the changes made to Shadow Sneak and Prankster, Sableye can't rely too much on stealth anymore and has to adjust its gameplay to make up for it. Switching to Knock Off and Confuse Ray does exactly that. This moveset turns Sableye into a full-on disabler that has stealth capabilities, redefining its annoying playstyle. It also makes Sableye more effective during teamfights since it can lock down opponents for a considerable amount of time.

However, Sableye can still utilize Shadow Sneak to scout for enemies and bypass opponents to score points. Pairing the move with Feint Attack makes Sableye a unique supporter, providing a large vision advantage for its team.

Utilize Sableye's Stealth Abilities

Sableye's effectiveness in combat relies on your ability in providing support for your allies by utilizing its stealthy abilities to either score as much as you can or bait opponents for your team to take advantage of, all while invisible with Prankster. While Sableye does not reveal itself immediately when seen by an enemy, it is still better to stay out of your opponent's sights and aim to flank of score as stealthily as when you can, especially if you have score-related Held Items equipped. You may also use this move to get easy hits then escape and hide inside the tall grass while the enemy is slowed down.

Prankster: Sableye Passive Effect and Cooldown

Pressure Targets with Boosted Attacks

Sableye's boosted attack meter automatically fills up every time the Pokemon enters stealth mode. This allows you to get extra damage in before engaging opponents. To get the most damage, make sure to attack unsuspecting targets, activate your moves, and run away from combat to enter stealth mode again.

Disrupt The Opponent's Early Game

Sableye's early game looks to focus on making it difficult for the opponents to get good positioning and early advantage. While you may choose to play passively and help your teammates farm for EXP early on, Sableye's initial moveset is destructive enough that it can potentially stifle an opponent's early game.

Steal Aeos Energy From Opponents

Thief is a unique damage move that has Sableye steal Aeos Energy from opponents. It is particularly effective for preventing opponents that have score-related items equipped like Attack Weight or Sp. Atk. Specs get early bonuses. Aside from this interaction, the move is turns into a quick and easy stun move, if the target is not carrying Aeos Energy.

Slow Down Opponents with Astonish

Astonish is a slow move that can affect multiple opponents at once. Combined with the invisibility you get with Prankster, you can position yourself behind targets to get the maximum stun effect and open them up for an easy knockdown.

Astonish: Sableye Move Effect and Cooldown

Pick Damage Move Based on Playstyle

When it comes to choosing a damaging move upgrade, Sableye can continue its passive gameplay and sacrifice damage for more utility. Both moves are capable of dealing damage and inflicting slow, however, they offer different playstyles that will determine how Sableye should act when its support is needed in battle.

Get More Mobility with Shadow Sneak

Shadow Sneak buffs Sableye's movement speed outside of battle and lets it instantly turn invisible while traversing the map. It also lets Sableye deal boosted damage when it hits an enemy while in stealth. Take note, however, going for this move means that you plan to be in Stealth mode most of the time, scout the area for opponents, farm the Wild Pokemon, or aim to score points.

Shadow Sneak: Sableye Move Effect and Cooldown

Chase Down Enemies with Knock Off

Knock Off is a dash move that lets Sableye inflict slows and stuns on enemies when it hits. This is perfect if you plan to play aggressively and assist your teammates to secure objectives. Take note, however, that Sableye's health and movement speed out of combat is not that great and you need to be beside your allies in order to stay safe for most of the fight.

When sticking with allies during a clash, Sableye can stun enemies for a few seconds with Knock Off. Positioning yourself behind an enemy is risky, so make sure that you're with an ally at all times when positioning and attempting to attack an enemy from behind, or wait for them to retreat before giving chase.

Knock Off: Sableye Move Effect and Cooldown

Disrupt Enemies with Your Hindrance Move

When Sableye reaches level 6, you will get access to its unique hindrance moveset. Both moves are vastly different as they have different gameplay strategies at their core. Picking the move that fits your playstyle allows you to take full advantage of its effects.

Lure Opponents with Feint Attack

Feint Attack has Sableye throw fake Aeos Energy at the designated area and damage opponents that touches them. You can essentially use this move as a straight-up ranged move that you constantly throw at the enemy position. However, its strength lies in how you use the move to trick opponents into picking the fake Aeos Energy. A good spot to throw the fake Aeos Energy would be near allied goals as enemies can mistake it for the real thing and immediately pick it up only to get pranked with damage and slow instead. This will make opponents that are adamant on stacking score related Held Item bonuses think twice.

Feint Attack: Sableye Move Effect and Cooldown

Disorient Opponents with Confuse Ray

Sableye can take control away from the opposing player when it hits opponents with a Confuse Ray. While in a confused state, the Pokemon will start continuously attacking other Pokemon in the following order of priority: first, their ally Pokemon; then, wild Pokemon; last, Pokemon on the user's team. The move can potentially cause havoc, especially when used during crucial team fights. A good strategy is to utilize Sableye's stealth ability and position it near the target for a better shot. You can use Confuse Ray on Attackers or All-Rounders to get the most damage possible. Otherwise, you can use the move to disrupt the positioning of Defenders and make them lose the front line.

Confuse Ray: Sableye Move Effect and Cooldown

Where to Place Fake Aeos Energy

Theia Sky Ruins is a wide and spacious area with plenty of strategic locations. With the use of Feint Attack, Sableye can drop fake Aeos Energy at specific spots as a useful spying tool and help provide sight for the team to take advantage.

Inside Tall Grass

It is best to use Feint Attack on places where enemies usually traverse to, and the number one place would be the Tall Grass scattered around the map. Placing fake aeos energy here provides vision to Sableye and its teammates, revealing hiding enemies that are looking to gank.

Near Wild Pokemon Camps

Placing fake aeos energy near Enemy camps should also be a priority since you're letting your junglers know if there are opponents farming for exp or if it's free to take. A good spot for this is at the middle of the map where the highly contested Altaria and Swablu spawns are located.

Stun Enemies with Chaos Glower During Clashes

Chaos Glower is a great team fight move that disrupts enemies with confusion and stuns. This move is best used when all enemies are present and are in a spot that can be hit with a cone attack. As a bonus, if opponents are hit with the move while facing Sableye, they will lose control and begin recalling back to base. However, the effect will cancel if they get hit during the recall but still get a decent stun. Combine the move with the hindrance effects of Confuse Ray, and you can watch your enemies tear each other apart and lead your team to victory.

Sableye Progression and Leveling Guide

Top or Bottom Lane Guide

Level	Objectives
1 - 4	• Secure as many Wild Pokemon as you can and get EXP. Steal camps with its ranged attack Astonish or a pull from Thief. • Steer clear from ranged Attackers as they can easily pressure Sableye's HP from afar. Likewise, do not engage All-Rounder opponents as Sableye's damage at this point may not be able to keep up with them. • Once you learn either Knock Off or Shadow Sneak, you can play aggressively and assist allies with Knock Off or play passively and stealthily score points with Shadow Sneak. Otherwise, focus on using them to farm Wild Pokemon camps to reach higher levels.
5 - 6	• When the match time reaches 8:50 secure the Altaria and Swablu spawns in the middle of the lanes with your ally. • Once you get to level 6, learn either Confuse Ray or Feint Attack. Help your allies secure objectives at the 7:00 mark. Ideally, securing Regieleki should be the top priority to get ahead in points in the early game. If the enemy team manages to secure Regieleki, however, see to it that your team secures the bottom lane objective to negate their advantage. • Avoid chasing opponents, unless your team's jungler helps the lane.
7 - 9	• Keep supporting your allies by either spying on enemy camps with Feint Attack or aggressively inflicting them with status effects from Confuse Ray and Knock Off. • Once Sableye reaches level 9, it can now learn its Unite Move, Phantom Ambush. This move inflicts fear and makes enemies return to their base, buying your team some time to score. • Help your allies secure the next objective spawns. Expect your opponents to use their Unite Moves as teams clash. With proper timing and positioning, hit enemies with Sableye's Unite Move.
10+	• Continue to stick with your allies to hunt targets, secure objectives, and push lanes. • Try to reach at least level 12 before or when Rayquaza spawns for a fully-upgraded moveset. • Save your Unite Move for the team fight. Use stealth to get a good position before attacking the enemy. • If you have Feint Attack, you may opt to put fake Aeos Energy around the tall grass before Rayquaza spawns. This allows you to reveal any opponents that are hiding.

Matchup Notes
Hard Counter	Even Matchup	Easy Matchup
1. The chart is based on our own experience playing Sableye. 2. Pokemon within each tier are unordered 3. Any Pokemon not shown here are still under investigation.

Hard Counter with Disables and Damage Burst

While Sableye is equipped to be a quick, stealthy, slow inflicting supporter, it has low HP and Defense. Enemies that have quick damage bursts, ranged attacks, and disabling moves can take down Sableye easily.

Hard Counters

Pokemon	Explanation
Absol	Rating: ★★★★★ • Deals high critical-hit damage in all stages of the game. Can burst down Sableye when it reveals itself. • Easily stays on top of Sableye with its mobility moves. • Can easily catch and stun Sableye with Pursuit.
Tsareena	Rating: ★★★★★ • Has hard-hitting AoE abilities that can force Sableye to go out of stealth mode. Also has disruption with either Trop Kick or Grassy Glide. • Can get around Sableye's slows with its mobility moves • One usage of Queen Ascendant can completely knock out Sableye.
Greninja	Rating: ★★★★ • Although both Pokemon have high mobility, Greninja easily outdamages Sableye with Water Shuriken • Can disrupt or avoid Sableye's hindrance attacks using SmokeScreen or Double Team.
Snorlax	Rating: ★★★ • Snorlax can easily prevent Sableye's hindrance moves with Block. • Snorlax can force Sableye to go out of stealth and get stunned at the same time with Heavy Slam. • Sableye can't deal high damage to Snorlax alone due to its high durability. Also has Power Nap for sustain.

Even Matchups for Sableye

Although Sableye has high mobility and hindrance moves, it is still ultimately squishy and susceptible to burst damage. That being said, you must focus on landing your combos properly while going in and out of stealth mode to dispose of your targets quickly and avoid a brawl entirely.

Outplay with Mobility and Catch Off Guard

Ranged Attackers
How to Beat
• These Pokemon are all ranged attackers and have burst attacks. In order to have a chance of defeating these Pokemon, position yourself near your allies, and hit them with either Knock Off or Confuse Ray as a surprise attack. • When low on HP, disengage with Shadow Sneak.

Avoid Direct Fights

Pokemon with Sustain Abilities
How to Beat
• Facing these Pokemon head on will immediately put Sableye in a clear disadvantage. Utilize Feint Attack to disrupt these Pokemon from their respective goals. • Consider chasing these Pokemon down with Shadow Sneak only when they're low on health or when an ally is trying to take them down as well.

Deception is Key

Pokemon with Hard-Hitting Combos
How to Beat
• These Pokemon can quickly decimate Sableye if they manage to pull off their combos. It is best not to fight them directly, and take advantage of the invisibility you get from Prankster or Shadow Sneak to get them off your sights. When timed right, you even make them miss their combos entirely to leave them open.

Easy Matchups for Sableye

Sableye's arsenal of stuns, slows, and mobility moves will be enough to pressure easy matchups. While you can still be defeated if you let your guard down, facing these Pokemon should be easier compared to other matchups - provided you can take advantage of Sableye's abilities properly.

Outdamage

Supporter Pokemon
How to Beat
• These Pokemon are only powerful when they are near their allies. They generally have little to no offense to fend for themselves. If you find them isolated, you can enter stealth through Prankster or Shadow Sneak and pressure them with a boosted attack. • These Pokemon have low HP, which can be easy for Sableye to burst down. If you have Knock Off learned, the move's full activation will be enough to deplete their HP in seconds or even knock them down. Alternatively, you can use Confuse Ray to deal extra damage and stun them in place before they can activate any heal of buff moves.

Stealth Takedown

Needs to Set Up Attacks
How to Beat
• These Pokemon are capable of shredding through their enemies, so long as they manage to properly set up their attacks. Take advantage of this by entering stealth mode through Prankster or Shadow Sneak and position yourself behind the target. To get the best result possible, it is best to only strike when the target is isolated or at low HP. When you are close enough to the target, utilize the boosted attack you get from stealth to deal high damage and catch them off guard. From here, you can bombard the target with your moves before they can counter. You can further prevent them from reacting to your surprise attack with Confuse Ray.

Best Teammates for Sableye

Pokemon	Explanation
Slowbro Snorlax Wigglytuff	Plenty of Crowd Control
	Having these sturdy Pokemon can help absorb most of the damage during team fights, letting Sableye maneuver freely while in stealth mode. Moreover, these Pokemon can provide hard crowd control that shuts down targets, allowing Sableye to double down on its slow moves and contribute damage if it needs to.
Decidueye Gardevoir Venusaur	Snipers
	These Pokemon have strong, range moves that can decimate a target in seconds. Sable eye can use its stealth abilities or Feint Attack to keep opponents visible for them as they line up their shots. Moreover, Sableye's stuns and slows can make targetting for these Pokemon easier.
Absol Gengar	Extra Burst
	Speedsters will greatly benefit from the extra sight Sableye gives, allowing them to plan ahead and set up ganks effectively. Sableye can also keep opponents in place with its stuns and slows for easier burst opportunities.
Scizor Lucario Tsareena	More Punches to Land
	Having Sableye's arsenal of slows and stuns increases the lethality of combos All-Rounders can dish out. It will help these Pokemon perform their combos properly without a hassle.
