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.

Its pretty funny how the same gen that Sableye got its first weakness was the same gen it became used the absolute most
@Ice
But Mawile didn’t gain any weaknesses in Gen 6.
@@sandrahwu but it did lose a resistance to Ghost
@Ice They didn't say that Mawille lacked a weakness, just that it didn't gain any new ones in Gen 6
Gaining weakness/losing resistance...they're both going in the same direction
Ice imagine trying to correct someone else when your wrong 😂😂
Love this little goblin. I hope he finds a way to survive without his giant gem. ;-;
His movepool with Prankster and typing should be able to at least carve him a niche.
@@scorn9018 depending on what pokemon make it in (which the tapu's probably wont) may make it a threat on stall like it once was, as it was mainly the gen 7 threats that nerfed it into the floor
TheShadowNinja1 Prankster nerf to not hit Dark Types was even bigger imo. Especially since Sableye doesn’t see the Tapus too often except for VGC.
@@wolfofdiscord7092 Its BST is pretty low so i also wouldn't be surprised if it gets ripped apart by OU threats like Garchomp, Tyranitar and the Tapus.
Sneer maybe, but what can he do that murkrow can’t do with better bulk besides spin block
Ah, I remember the good ol' days when Sableye had no weaknesses. It was the first of its kind.
Now theres only eelektross left :^(

Im actually glad megas are gone. Puts everyone on a semi equal playing field
Rin Onishi I mean, I really liked the Megas for sableye and kangaskan because of how they made them better, but not too much better, more like a second evolution instead of a super Saiyan form like mega rayquayza or the primals.
@@rinnnnnnnnnnrin not really, there are still pretty broken pokemon so...
6:53 That HP recovery transition between Quagsire and Clefable was very clean and so satisfying
i love u
I never saw that the first time
That transition was beautiful
Oh lord they even have the same HP
Great catch!
Magic bounce scared to heck outta me when I discovered it for the first time Lol. It pulled the UNO Reverse Card on my toxic.
Kamal Velmurugan You have to pull a NO U on it with deoxys’s skill swap.
If you use a toxic stalling team you fucking deserve it
you can also use ditto and bounce their will-o-wisp, which is hillarious, I've done it a bunch
@@lucianoariasduval or pull out a trace pokemon
@@barn6606 Jeez, calm down Satan
I'm surprised you didn't mention the calm mind Mega Sableye set. That dude was a monster back in ORAS.
The problem with that set was that the obnoxiously overused meta physical Fire types destroyed it due to WoW immunity. It wasn't as universally annoying as most of its other sets for that reason.
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.
@@terra_zina3181 The Tapus ruined a lot of strategies :/
@ARTEM DORDZHIEV Tapus are the ultimate gay Pokémon, with Landorus, Toxapex, Ferrothorn and all that coward pokémon.
So calm mind,shadow ball,dark pulse,will-o-wisp?
5:03 Did that guy use UNOWN question mark or he only had 5 pokemon?
I'd like to think he was a legend and used it for the luls.
I think he only revealed 5 of his 6
Isnt there team preview?
yeah he probally only revealed 5 out of 6 of his mons
No
He used 6 pokemons
but the 6 pokemon is unknown
Thats why they used a question mark unown
>11 minute video
The Pokemon is trash
>15ish minutes long
Its ok/got really bad/got a Mega
>20+ minutes long
It was really good
Too true
Tom Depends on in which Gen it was introduced.
But mostly true.
*Remembers that first bit of videos were 6 minutes or so, even with Charizard. Which is a meta game superstar in NU with Specs and OU with two megas that dominate both singles and VGC*
Mmmmmm... I guess you're mostly right?
or its a gen 5 for the 2nd option, theres a few now
Sooooo... Golduck was really good

@@Dz73zxxx only man-childs complain, as children don't care and regular adults don't care
try out focus sash metal burst , you get it by breeding metal burst off of male bisharp onto sableye, if you're running defog it makes games way easier, you can revenge kill sweepers at +6 & beat sableye's special attacking weaknesses in exchange for hitting 1hp, even vs hazards you can scare a mon out with wisp threat recover on it & then have metal burst to gimp the opponent's counter

MEMBER WHEN SMOGON THOUGHT MEGA SABELEYE WAS PERFECTLY BALANCED FOR UU?!?!??!
I laughed so hard at this comment, and that past decision lol
Remember when they thought Mega Venusuar was balanced for uu
They also thought Mawile couldn't reach OU at all, then it shot up to Ubers XD
Remember when Smogon started to ban everything Because they didn't want ou to change from the previous gen.

@@iforgotmyname1669 pokemon: combat evolved
Can we appreciate, how well the transition at 6:54 was, with leftovers and both pokemon having the same total hp, a beautiful cut.
Sableye was actually my first ghost type ever back in Sapphire. Felt so good to use it recently in an Emerald playthrough
mm, it's great on gen 3 in game teams, makes a playthrough much easier with what it covers
Broadbull, Enabler of Uncounted Combos Exactly. It’s a go to check for things the rest of the team struggles with thanks to hard countering psychic and other ghosts and having zero weaknesses. Pairs well with things that hate those.
Besides it's morvepool it was great!
Libra The beautiful War Monk Feint Attack as it’s strongest dark move lmao
There's also the fact that you can defeat Norman's (the 5th gym leader, forgot if that's his name) entire gym only using a sableye, since im pretty sure all of the pokemon only have normal type damaging moves, making the darn gremlin immune to all of it.

Wait, so I wasn't the only one running Gravity Sableye in VGC 2012?
I am both relieved and disappointed.
sad
It's not relevant to the video, but let's not forget that this little goblin was a cheater's best friend along with Wonder Guard until Fairy came along.
Just be careful of Fire Fang
Why Fire Fang?
@@DoubleCFiend It can burn; for Sableye (or Spiritomb) with Wonder Guard, the only things that can hurt it are status and weather damage, and even that can be guarded against with paralysis and Safety Goggles respectively.
@@ArcanaMaxima Well actually he said that because for some, never explained, reason fire fang was not blocked by wonder guard.

Pokémon with low attacking and defense stats
Pokémon Company: *Prankster Ability Granted*
Love how you’ve been pulling through with these uploads at even earlier times each week now. You’ve gotta be one of the most consistent and quality RUclipsrs on this platform. And one of my all time favs for this reason. Keep up the good work FSG!
Probably an unpopular opinion, but I’m a big fan of regular Sableye’s design, and not so much the mega’s.
Na honestly i'm the same the Normal Design is realy great and even the mega makes sense, i prefer the normal Design.
Another unpopular opinion : I like Sableye's 5th gen sprite the most. The way he just bounces slightly and twitches his head occassionally is so cool.
I thought its mega evo makes it a slow, priority dependant sweeper pokemon like scizor
Tho still GF does its job quite well for exploiting its good typing...
But yeah...those *fairy godparents* -_-
Sneer I think I share that opinion as well. The other one I really like is it’s Battle Revolution sprite because of the grin it makes when it gets hit by an attack.
@@scorn9018 The gen 5 sprites overall were amazing imo. I honestly prefrr them to the 6 and 7th gen models
Brief nitpick: It wasn't just Arena Trap Dugtrio that was banned; Arena Trap was banned _as a whole_ , since Diglett and Trapinch performed with similar consistency on those stall teams (they weren't as effective on offense, but they were still comparable much like Gothita/Gothorita were to Gothitelle).
Honestly, Trapinch is insane with it's base 100 attack
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.
If Sableye had 85 HP, wide guard/crafty shield, would be much better
Mawile could use that hp boost too honestly
@@librathebeautifulwarmonk1283 ability huge life effect 2 doubles hp stat
You talked about 2 generations in less than 2 minutes, a new record
I love that Sableye's Gen V set options are literally just all the mischievous moves there are.
I remember it's anime devu was it pulling pranks, so somehow that fits really well.
5:02 Now, why would anyone bring *UNOWN* to a tournament?!
I only noticed that thanks to your comment.
i've been looking for this comment. what purpose did that have???
((i love that it's an unown-?, though. they knew.))
Im just commenting to get a notif if anyone finds out why unknown is there
@@hardikmaheshwari7102 *unown
One of my favorites on my golden birthday - awesome work as always man!
*Mystery Dungeon flashbacks intensify*
IT YOU
ahh
Ah Sableye one of Stall's best mons, although it had a rough beginning. Once megas came, it quickly became a powerful wall and a great hazard and status stopper.
it wasnt actually a wall. he cant tank too much neutral hits
he is more of a backbone pressure against taunts and hazards, that could also wall the main anti staller (m medichan), and cripple physical switches. forcing the other team to play much more methodically and punished predictions when coupled with trappers
but he wasnt really a wall, a strong neutral hitter like heatran can pummel through his recovers
@@CheesyCore My bad, I completely missed that detail in the video
@@alexandermcmillan8056 well, its a role very similar to a wall, in that it can put a dead stop to some mons and force them out
but less by actually outsustain their damage and more by constantly pressuring to cripple them
@@CheesyCore sableye is a nighmate specialty to physical attackers thx to will o wisp
Through just these videos I went from having zero clue what this dude is talking about to him saying "Gengar was better because of Levitate" and me going "oh, yes, so it counters Dugdrio" as if I knew what I am talking about when it comes to Gen 3 competitive.
I don't know why I come back here all the time as a non-participant in comp- Pokémon, somehow I'm always curious when I see an upload.
I have almost no experience in competitive, but know a lot of about other "areas" of that franchise. That's interesting though,
I've been waiting for this day.
It's time to bounce!
7 years on from top cutting UK nationals with this I'm now maining it in Pokémon Unite - love this little Gremlin
I remember using Sableye in early 2016. Prankster ability was nice but Magic Coat really helped against Dark Void
Been waiting on this video forever! Sableye is my favourite gen 3 Mon :) I was just waiting for him to get to gen 5, since that's where Sableye really started having an impact.
My all time favorite Pokemon finally gets the False Swipe treatment. Thank you for the vid!
I love how sableye, my favorite pokemon, shines in vgc and singles, as its typing goes
Its dark, evil, therefore its crippling its opponents, by priority statusing, passively, hench its ghost typing, unsee but game-changing.
Upon its mega evo, it gained magic bounce and being a defensive mon with only one weaknesses, laughing those who wants so badly set up hazard, lacks fairy offensive, and teams that susceptible to statuses
Overall, its the little gem-carrying diamond eyes goblin who manipulates the game behind the stage, evil-ly
How bad was the nerf of Prankster , actually?
Bad
Dark types didn't need ANOTHER nerf
@@librathebeautifulwarmonk1283 prankster nerf, was a buff for the dark-types, especially to block status.
Not as bad as people think but it did change from a focus of debilitating status to team support focus
Not as bad as Gale Wings
FINALLY THANK YOU, I'VE BEEN WAITING SO LONG
One of my favourites, been waiting a while for this one
Arguably the most adorable goblin in all of fiction..
Gen 3-4: bad
Gen 5: pretty good
Gen 6: mega evolution literally banned sometimes but he’s still good.
Gen 7: nerfed
Great as always
This is the first of your vids I've ever watched and I have loved Ur content ever since
I just caught up after binging this whole series in a week and it feels so unreal that some pokemon had dank niches in their past days.
oh how this mon has gone from garbage to one of the most hated mons in team preview
Unless you got fairies tho
@@Dz73zxxx When you run into the rare metal burst Sableye
@@librathebeautifulwarmonk1283 plot twist : i used it frequently
Spice things up : metal burst mega sableye in ubers
With some SR and spikes, i laughed at those primals
Bad thing is, once its metal burst some crazy offensive mons, its kinda useless. Being below 40% health at ubers is just death.
@@Dz73zxxx Oh wow someone actually uses it that's awesome!
I didnt know Sableye learned Metal Burst. That sound pretty spicy
Finally, been waiting for this one.
always one of my favorites :)
nice to see, that a pokemon with that stats can actually perform pretty well just because of one simple ability
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.
I hope we‘ll get the Kyurem forms as special episodes on holiday season.
I have always loved Sableye; it’s nice to see a kind reading on it.
Imagine sableye with wonder guard.
Sableye is my favorite Pokémon. Prankster is just so much fun. It's a really good support Mon. I used to run a bulky, Bold Max Defense Prankster set with Will-o-wisp, Recover, Taunt, and Confuse Ray/Night Shade.
Honestly prankster does help it A LOT
Moreover, metal burst....dang its just good, especially at mega
Well, my advice is to never go full status on it. I had a bad experience getting 6-0'd because i let a certain land shark set up with sub on my Sableye.
@@scorn9018 i second this. At least bring foul play (counterback setups) or fakeout (for momentum). If you wanna still go for protect, must have unaware mons
@@Dz73zxxx Clefable is a really good partner for it.
My fave non mega sableye set was Rocky helment with Taunt, Will-o, Foul Play and recover
Early again! I always look forward to noon on Sunday and this is week two of 10am!!
Always wanted to see this fella ^^
Fantastic delivery.
5:03 Wow. Bold choice going for an unown there.
The unown means that the player never revealed their 6th Pokemon
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.
And till this day, at S/M randbats, that set is quite hell tho, even if there are fairy offensive (exclude tapus and legends) in your team
@@Dz73zxxx Yeah, various mechanics changes (prankster nerf and mega mechanics change) along with additional strong fairies (tapus mostly) in the game makes this set a fair bit weaker than it used to be, but its still extremely strong, and can absolutely wreck an unprepared team.
@@redwings13400 i had those sets
Calm mind-dark pulse-recover-shadow ball
It only kills 1 enemy mon, but dang that dude struggles hard.
By the time sableye died, 3 out of 6 of my opponents mon (exclude died one) is below 50%
@@Dz73zxxx what about Calm mind-Recover-Will o Wisp-SNARL? this is my set and I love it
Love your content
Nerdy but I’ve always imagined Sableye as my pika. Was a edgy kid loved the dark ghost type most and it was the only one and looked pretty cool. I got back into the game for a while when I heard about it’s mega and am back now because it’s coming to unite lol Sableye for smash!!!
How GOOD was Ash Ketchum ACTUALLY? (Gens1-7)
Great idea 👍
In terms of battling skill:

That was some bullshit.
Krookodile doesn’t make it 100% terrible.... maybe 90% lol
How GOOD are these videos ACTUALLY?
To answer, very good and informative. : )
Videos always 10/10 every single time
Haven’t watched through the whole video but many people don’t really know the amazing use of sableye.
I run it with max hp, around 200 defense, and the rest in special attack.
The strat is you don’t mega evolve right away and use prankster calm mind and recover.
-recover
-calm mind
-dark pulse
-power gem (coverage)
This set when used correctly and mega evolved at the right time is unstoppable.
Should hav shadow ball for Stab
You may hear this sometimes but I hate my life and when one of these videos comes out I feel happy for quite a few hours 😌😌
I hope things get better for you buddy
It's pretty weird that he's being covered only now, considering how prominent he has been in the last few gens
Who else thinks Kellen should do some updates on older videos? A lot of them don't have Gen 7 information, and with Gen 8 coming out soon, there could be even more information about them (assuming they make it in). And plus, Kellen has become such a good narrator and showman behind the mic, especially compared to where he was before, he's grown tremendously.
Thanks for doing sableye one of my favourite megas
5:02 What’s with the question mark Unown? Don’t tell me Javier was actually crazy enough to use an Unown
5:02 *So we are not going to talk about the fact that this man reached 8 with a unown in is team.... Now that's a big question mark if you ask me*

Thx for the review FSG :D
And...
*FUG FARIES*
Before watching, I predict: "and I apologise if I butcher your names"
Nice vid! I think you forgot the prankster swagger teams that Sableye could fit in when it was legal :)
I appreciate that you ask how you would make a mon better
My friend used a mega sableye with dark pulse, recover, calm mind, and willow wisp that was not fun to try to beat
14:05
This
Man
Is
INSANE
How do you even pull a team like that off invgc?
far too passive
No that's just a slot of a mon that wasn't shown yet
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.
I love how they always reference PMD2 and pretty much no other spin offs bc it really is the best Pokémon spin off
Extremely ironic that Mega Sableye was the god of stall and it's secondary ability is literally "Stall"
Sableye's best ability before Mega Evolution is "Prankster", fitting for it's "trickery" and gimmicks that the narrator describes.
13:54 tf what happened with Mimikyu? Why is he so tall?
Totem mimikyu
i like that you shortened the intro, nice
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I'VE WANTED THIS FOR SOOOO LONG!!!!! WOOP WOOP!!
5:01 For a second I thought this guy used unown...
Which was banned from every vgc as we all know.
The reason why mega Sableye "bounces back" the entry hazards, is because he's using the Reality Stone! He changes the enemy reality and his own.
Have anybody not seen the GIANT RED GEM????
Sableye:*No one cared for me,until i started pranking and shielding*
Probably one of the most visually striking Mons for me 👌
That's a nice cut version of the intro you got there!
...I'll leave.
Anyone remember over killing brawley in emerald?
Oh hell yeah man!
I actually never realized that Sableye completely neuters Brawly until Chuggaaconroy pointed it out in his Emerald Let's Play.
I used to skip fighting him cause as a kid I found him near impossible
In AS I had a Zubat, a Ralts and the event Beldum. He was cake
@@librathebeautifulwarmonk1283 Tbh the game became extremely easy with that event Beldum, considering just how broken that evolution line is on a casual playthrough. Not complaining though, i love Metagross, and having it as a member of my team from the very beginning as opposed to a post-game mon is very nice.
Yeah Zubat kinda destroys his entire team. Don't know about Ralts, but i had a Kadabra once on Emerald and Brawly got completely shafted.
one of my favs when i was a kid, still love em
It’s no competitive use, but I’ll always fondly remember in my Emerald run my Sableye Metronomed Aeroblast two turns in a row.
How GOOD was Dialga/Palkia/Giratina actually? Like a trio video
