Pokémon Go Mega Sableye counters, weakness and raid battle tips
Up until Thursday 6th July 2023, you can take on Mega Sableye in Pokémon Go Raid Battles.
You won’t be able to catch the Mega-evolution of the Ghost/Dark Pokémon, but defeating enough of them will earn you some handy Energy to evolve your standard Sableye temporarily.
You’ll need 100 Mega Energy to evolve a Sableye into its Mega-form for the first time. After this, you’ll need to wait for a cooldown timer to end to temporarily evolve again.
You should be able to catch a standard Sableye from the Mega Raid Boss, however.
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’ll help your cause.
Read on to discover the best Pokémon Go Mega Sableye counters, learn its weaknesses, and find some Raid Battle tips to take it down.
As a Ghost/Dark-type Pokémon, Sableye doesn’t have too many weaknesses — it is actually weak to just one type: Fairy.
Your best bet up against a Sableye, be it Mega or standard, is a Fairy-type Pokémon — or, at least, a Pokémon that knows some strong Fairy-type moves.
It’s worth pointing out, too, that Sableye is resistant to Fighting, Normal, Poison, and Psychic-type attacks.
With this in mind, it’s definitely best to avoid using Pokémon of these types in a battle against Mega Sableye.
We’d recommend you steer clear of Ghost and Psychic-types, too, as Mega Sableye’s attacks will be strong against them.
