Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/a> Raid Battles.<\/p>\nYou won\u2019t be able to catch the Mega-evolution of the Ghost\/Dark Pok\u00e9mon, but defeating enough of them will earn you some handy Energy to evolve your standard Sableye temporarily.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll need 100 Mega Energy to evolve a Sableye into its Mega-form for the first time. After this, you\u2019ll need to wait for a cooldown timer to end to temporarily evolve again.<\/p>\n
You should be able to catch a standard Sableye from the Mega Raid Boss, however.<\/p>\n
Due to its powerful stats and unique type match-up, you will need to know the best mega Sableye counters to defeat it in battle. Luckily, there are some weaknesses to know about that\u2019ll help your cause.<\/p>\n
Read on to discover the best Pok\u00e9mon Go Mega Sableye counters, learn its weaknesses, and find some Raid Battle tips to take it down.<\/p>\n
What is Sableye\u2019s weakness in Pok\u00e9mon Go?<\/b><\/h2>\n
As a Ghost\/Dark-type Pok\u00e9mon, Sableye doesn\u2019t have too many weaknesses \u2013 it is actually weak to just one type: Fairy<\/b>.<\/p>\n
Your best bet up against a Sableye, be it Mega or standard, is a Fairy-type Pok\u00e9mon \u2013 or, at least, a Pok\u00e9mon that knows some strong Fairy-type moves.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s worth pointing out, too, that Sableye is resistant to Fighting, Normal, Poison, and Psychic-type attacks.<\/p>\n
With this in mind, it\u2019s definitely best to avoid using Pok\u00e9mon of these types in a battle against Mega Sableye.<\/p>\n
We\u2019d recommend you steer clear of Ghost and Psychic-types, too, as Mega Sableye\u2019s attacks will be strong against them.<\/p>
What are the best Sableye counters in Pok\u00e9mon Go?<\/b><\/h2>\n
The best Sableye counters in Pok\u00e9mon Go will be Fairy-type Pok\u00e9mon and those that know powerful Fairy-type moves. If you\u2019ve got one, a Mega Gardevoir is an obvious pick as the best counter.<\/p>\n
Mega Gardevoir is Fairy\/Psychic-type and its use of Dazzling Gleam and Charm make it the best Fairy-type in the game. You\u2019ll want to spam Mega Sableye with Dazzling Gleam to take it down.<\/p>\n
Other good counters include typically strong Pok\u00e9mon such as Mega Charizard Y, Mega Swampert, Mega Salamence, Mega Blaziken, Mega Altaria, Zacian, and Xurkitree.<\/p>\n
Togekiss is another decent pick as a back-up option. Avoid picking Ghost-type Pok\u00e9mon, though, as Sableye\u2019s attacks will be super effective against them.<\/p>
