[OVERVIEW]
Thanks to its extensive utility movepool alongside Prankster, Sableye is a decent defensive Pokemon and stallbreaker. Its good physical bulk when invested allows it to check prominent physical threats like Silvally-Ghost, Doublade, and Gallade. It's also a spinblocker that stops common spinners like Eldegoss and Sandslash. However, its low special bulk and its merely okay Defense that requires full investment leaves it at the mercy of many special attackers, like Charizard, Ribombee, and Whimsicott. Dark-types like Sneasel, Shiftry, and Thievul also prevent Prankster from working, allowing them to easily set up. Sableye cannot switch into strong wallbreakers like Lycanroc and Trevenant easily, lest it risks huge damage.

Knock Off cripples item-reliant Pokemon like Ferroseed and Charizard. Foul Play disrupts physical attackers like Silvally-Ghost and physical Archeops. With Taunt, Sableye can annoy defensive Pokemon like Qwilfish or Audino, while Encore disrupts setup sweepers like Doublade and offensive Sandslash. Sableye is primarily used on stall teams, where it can be a blanket physical wall and a stallbreaker. Special walls like Gigalith and Aggron work well with Sableye's physical bulk; they also act as blanket checks to Fairy-types like Ribombee and Comfey. Other physical walls like Weezing and Quagsire can help if Sableye gets pressured too much by shared checks like Centiskorch and Gallade. Clerics like Aromatisse and Audino can patch up Sableye's vulnerability to status, while Sableye can check attackers like Gallade and Sandslash in return.

[OVERVIEW]
Thanks to its extensive utility movepool alongside Prankster, Sableye serves as a good defensive Pokemon and stallbreaker a bit overly positive for how niche it is, sableye's not bad but i wouldnt be quite so big on it. Its good physical bulk and defensive typing allows it to check prominent physical threats like Sandslash, Doublade, and Gallade. However, its low special bulk leaves it at the mercy of many special attackers, like Charizard, Ribombee, and Whimsicott. Dark-types like Sneasel, Shiftry, and Thievul also prevent Prankster from working, allowing them to easily set up. Sableye cannot switch into strong wallbreakers like Lycanroc and Choice Band Aggron easily, lest it risks huge damage.

Foul Play allows it to fare better against physical attackers like Gigalith and physical Archeops there should be a contrasting knock mention before this, particularly the utility of removing boots from stuff like ribombee so they don't come in so risk-free. With Taunt, it can annoy defensive Pokemon like Qwilfish or Audino, while Encore disrupts setup sweepers like Doublade and offensive Sandslash. Special walls like Gigalith and Aggron work well with Sableye's physical bulk; they also act as blanket checks to Fairy-types like Ribombee and Comfey. Other physical walls like Weezing and Quagsire can help with walling capabilities if Sableye gets pressured too much. Clerics like Aromatisse and Audino can patch up Sableye's vulnerability to status, while Sableye can check attackers like Gallade and Doublade in return. all these mentions sound like sableye is purely used on stall. if this is the case (and i think it is), why not explicitly spell that out? something like "sableye is nearly always run on stall teams where it fills the niche of xyz" can be a lot more useful than listing a lot of stall partners but not really driving the point home

Thanks to its extensive utility movepool alongside Prankster, Sableye is a decent defensive Pokemon and stallbreaker. Its good physical bulk and defensive typing allows it to check prominent physical threats like Sandslash, Doublade, and Gallade. (mention how it spinblocks common spinners like Eldegoss and Sandslash) However, its low special bulk leaves it at the mercy of many special attackers, like Charizard, Ribombee, and Whimsicott. Dark-types like Sneasel, Shiftry, and Thievul also prevent Prankster from working, allowing them to easily set up. Sableye cannot switch into strong wallbreakers like Lycanroc and Choice Band Aggron (no one runs this anyone, pick something else) easily, lest it risks huge damage.

Knock Off cripples item-reliant Pokemon like Ferroseed and Charizard. Foul Play chips physical attackers like Gigalith (I wouldn't really call Gigalith a physical attacker in the same vein as Archeops + Gigalith hates losing its item more than it hates the chip from Foul Play, try using a stronger physical attacker) and physical Archeops. With Taunt, it can annoy defensive Pokemon like Qwilfish or Audino, while Encore disrupts setup sweepers like Doublade and offensive Sandslash.
