It is a dual Dark/Ghost-type Pokémon, unique in its typing for many years, and has no evolutionary predecessors or successors, making it a standalone entity in the Pokémon world. Sableye is known for its glowing, jewel-like eyes, which are said to be formed from the minerals it consumes. It typically inhabits caves and dark places, preferring to live in the shadows and often preying on other cave-dwelling Pokémon. Its diet primarily consists of rocks and minerals, particularly precious gems, which contribute to its distinctive appearance. In the games, Sableye gained a Mega Evolution in Generation VI, further enhancing its power and shifting its abilities. In the anime, Sableye often appears as a trickster, known for its stealth and ability to spook trainers and other Pokémon. Its unique typing also made it immune to Normal and Fighting-type moves, providing a significant defensive advantage in battles, a trait that cemented its place in competitive play for a time.
