DISCLAIMERS ON FORMATS COVERED:
Notice I said POPULAR formats, meaning a format where there is a significant amount of people who compete in it for tournaments and so on and so forth.
For the record, I do not care what rules or formats people play their battles by nor am I saying these formats are the only formats that should be played. The way you play Pokemon is between you and your opponent. I just like examining popular tournament formats.

@terra_zina3181
@terra_zina3181 4 года назад
The reason for that is because mega evolution was slightly bugged in gen 6. Upon first turn of evolving, the pokémon would still have its previous ability, but also gain the mega's stats. So when Sableye evolved, it would gain mega Sableye's stats, but also have prankster the same turn giving it a free calm mind, ensuring its survival. This was fixed in Sun and Moon. I used to abuse that back in gen 6 competitive back when competitive was actually fun, before gen 7 came in and fucked everything up.

In hindsight, there are a few interesting things that were overlooked here: From Gen 4 onward, the Zoom Lens came on the scene. And combined with Stall guaranteeing you go last, this means a huge x0.20 Accuracy buff unless you lose the Item. Between Swagger, Rock Tomb, Will o Wisp, Toxic, and even Zen Headbutt, you have a good way to guarantee your sabotage methods. From Gen 5 onward, Sableye got access for Metal Burst via Egg Moves. Besides only a Fairy weakness, a Normal, Fighting and Psychic Immunity could help make Mega Sableye be even more difficult to take out. Not to mention really surprise anyone trying to dead force it's defeat. Base 50 HP isn't high, but given some of the stuff Bastiodon's 60 was still able to pull with max investment, you could still make some decent strides with Sableye.

Calm mind sableye was also used in ORAS, but fell off because people preferred to run specially defensive. Also, FSG didn't mention that sableye was used on balance as well as stall, supporting rock weak pokemon like talonflame.

@redwings13400
@redwings13400 5 лет назад
One big thing I feel like you really missed here is the power of calm mind mega sableye, particularly the set of calm mind, will'o'wisp, dark pulse, recover. This set in gen 6 was unkillable for most pokemon if it could get off even one calm mind, since will'o'wisp could cripple physical attackers, calm mind could stop special attackers from koing it, and recover could make sure that it was never killed by chip damage. Magic bounce prevents any stall pokemon from draining its hp with toxic or leech seed, and no pokemon was immune to dark pulse, meaning at +6, Sableye could hit everything hard. It even had prankster before it mega evolved, which in gen 6 mechanics activated the turn you mega evolved, which means you could get priority will o wisp or calm mind off while megaing. To beat this sableye you either needed a really strong physical fire type (immune to burn), a calm mind setter of your own that could stall it out, or an absurdly strong special attacker (usually specs) that could deal over 50% to sableye even after one calm mind were set up. Nothing else really worked, and if your team didn't have a very specific sableye counter, it would absolutely get 6-0'd by this monstrosity. It was an absurd set back then, and still is a very good one today, I don't think Sableye gets anywhere near as good as it is in singles without calm mind.

@sebastianarviso562

I have a soft spot for this Pokemon. In Gen 5 I had the good fortune to get a pair of these Pokemon with prankster, and ran an admittedly suboptimal team with the two of them that I had a lot of fun with. They both utilized quite different movesets, as well as different EVs which resulted in one being a surprisingly effective physical wall while the other was a special wall. Having the two of them, and me not using nicknames, it was fun playing mind games with people on switch ins with them. I had stubbornly tried to keep using this weird core in X and Y, but it didn't really work anymore since instead of me trying to mind game with two of the same Pokemon that required different strategies to counter, I was just messing around with two Pokemon both shut down by Fairy types. When Sableye got its mega evolution in ORAS, however, I was very excited. I stopped using the both of them in the same team and would instead switch between them depending on what my team at the time needed more defensively, which, while a bit unfortunate given how much I enjoyed those weird strats, was probably for the best.
