Sableye are distinct for their gem-like eyes, which are said to be the result of a diet consisting primarily of rocks and minerals. They are often found in caves and subterranean environments, preying on other cave-dwelling Pokémon. In the Pokémon world, Sableye are often depicted as mischievous and somewhat spooky creatures, known for stealing people's spirits, as hinted at by its Pokédex entry. This behavior, coupled with their glowing gemstone eyes in the dark, contributes to their fearsome reputation. Despite their dark and ghostly typing, they have no known weaknesses in the main series games until the introduction of the Fairy type in Generation VI, which then became their sole weakness. In the anime, Sableye often appear in episodes concerning haunted locations or mischievous pranks, reinforcing their playful yet eerie persona. Their unique design and intriguing lore have made them a memorable Pokémon among fans.
