Sableye (M) @ Leftovers

- Toxic
- Substitute
- Recover
- Taunt

Answer 1

Sableye Gen 5

Ability Prankster, EV's Attack 252, He will probably anyway get ohko'd most times, Adamant Nature, Item Focus sash.

Fake Out, just some free extra damage but don't do this on Pokemon that has an ability that pevents flinching like a crobat, it might have Inner Focus, neither on pokemon with rough skin or iron barbs, this just ruins the focus sash, And do NOT use this on a pokemon that has the ability Mummy, i use this moveset and i used Fake Out on a pokemon that had the ability Mummy, i wasn't thinking of that the pokemon had Mummy so the Fake Out ruined my plan then, because the ability Mummy spread to Sabeleye.

Swagger, to power up Punishment and if they hit themselves in confusion you get a extra turn wich is nice, also has priority thanks to Prankster.

Punishment, STAB and powered up by Swagger, Foul Play also works good here.

Sadow Sneak, STAB priority plus so you can finish of things after Swagger+Punishment/Foul Play Comination.

I've tried this many times and if often works out absolutely great! even on pokemon that resists this (that is if they hit themselves in confusion) like a skarmory.
Chances are pretty good that they will hit themselves in confusion at least 1/2 thanks to the focus sash and prankster.

Good set, makes use of his stats. Perhaps carry sucker punch or substitute to avoid as much damage.

Congrats on #3 rank.

Didn't notice that. Won't last long though I know you'll fight valiantly for it.

---

Asking questions doesn't get as many points as getting best answer. You must now go on and try to get more points than Swampert.

lol know he #1 by a lot

Answer 4

Mine has the same moveset except dig instead of Embargo. I always found dig helpful to cover many types.

Answer 5

A Stall (ability) set:

Sableye (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Stall
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Brave Nature (+Atk, -Spd)
- Brick Break
- Shadow Claw
- Zen Headbutt
- Payback

Leftovers is for recovery, seeing as this guys Defenses could be improved. Stall works with Payback to kill people. Nature works to increase Attack, but lower Defense. It doesn't matter, though, because with Stall, this guy's Speed is 0. Brick Break breaks Screens, which helps lots. Shadow Claw is STAB and can Crit. On PO, death. Zen Headbutt can Flinch, and kills Fighting types with Foresight should they appear. Finally, Payback is STAB and, combined with Stall, hits somewhere over 110 in max power. Too bad you pay with Speed...

Answer 7

Ok recently i've been using this guy, and hes a great Lead, i run this set

Sableye @ Lagging Tail (Makes you slower)
Nature: Calm (+sp def - attack )
EVS: 252Def / 252 SpDef / 4 HP
Ability : Prankster

• Taunt
  Great against statuses leads (such as forretress, ferrothorn) or just any sweeper who wants to set up
• Will-O-Wisp
  Burn that sweepers, so they wont hurt you much
• Trick
  Heres when the lagging tail comes to play, you have prankster anyways so you will go first, make your opponent slow and get a free item, works best with sweepers or speedy annoyers
• Recover
  This one doesnt need explanation

Answer 8

Sableye@Leftovers
EVs: 252 Def 252 Sp Def 4 HP
Ability: Prankster
Nature: Relaxed ( + Def - Spe )
-Recover ( Priority + Sableye doesn't respect damage, Sableye respects healing damage. )
-Will O' Wisp ( Priority + Key to a staller is having a status move. )
-Substitute ( Priority + Well what can I say, it's substitute. )
-Shadow Sneak ( Priority + While stalling, it is nice to get some damage off... )

Now, where to start... Sableye... with prankster = the perfect troll/staller. Quad priority moveset thanks to its ability Prankster, with decent defences it can withstand a fair amount of hits of hits while being able to Recover off the damage. Leftovers can help quite alot since all this pokemon is meant to do it stall. Also Sableye has NO weaknesses. Anyway in simpler words, this is one of the most irritating pokemon you will ever see.
