Mega Sableye Revealed for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire!

Mega Sableye has been confirmed for Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. The Mega Stone to Mega Evolve Sableye will only be available in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

When Sableye Mega Evolves all its energy is concentrated into the jewel on its chest, which grows in size and detaches from the Pokémon’s body. Mega Sableye uses the jewel to protect itself from oncoming attacks, which apparently hardens providing a huge defensive benefit during battle.

    • I hope camerupt gets a mega for maxie. A couple people think maybe mega houndoom but i feel like that wouldn’t be right for his team.

  2. Once Earthen gets here, they’re gonna intervene between all of us and Mega Sableye just like Rayquaza.
    Then the world will end.

  3. “The ultimate defense lies within a single entity, a Pokemon whose power remains a mystery as it’s path leaves nothing but extinct. (Player) seek the stone for it can only be found when greed has left you.”

  4. Just wanted to acknowledge how funny the comic was. Didn’t look at it then saw it Is spongebob XD like always nice job!!!

  5. In my opinion, mega evolution is a unbalanced, overpowered, and overhyped gimmick and the fact that they’re giving mega evolutions to Pokemon that should get a normal evolution makes this even worse.

      • I don’t want to ask the world but if you could help get back into competitive battling, do you have any KB 5/6iv timid Charmander? the others are a 5/6iv Yveltal or Xerneas (I had both but they are hard to find), brave competive honedge or adamant, gastly competitive or shuppet, froakie competitive and bulbasaur, and qqif you could have the X’s Megastones, I had all also 🙁
        But I don’t want to get on your nerves for asking to much

        • I’ll get you froakie, shuppet, gastly, charmander, bulbasaur, & honedge 😉 that’ll be your six haha. If I have any additional X stones I’ll attach them. Give me a second to clone them for ya

  6. I have noticed a very minute detail which i think is brilliant.

    They actually made the light refract as it passes through the Jewel, you can see how Sableye’s arms/ears are slightly distorted..

    it’s the little things…

  7. Guys oh my lord. What if they change this thing’s ability to stance change…or even wonder guard(though very unlikely). The description they gave about its big gem thing suggests maybe an ability change.

  8. GameFreak (Yes, I’ve finally called them by their proper name) has taken quite the risks with X and Y. Especially with Mega-Evolution, knowing how many fans may be angered with the change and progression, yet they knew fans would soon grow to love it like every other change that has occurred within the Pokemon World. Weren’tt they always panned for being “safe-players?” Weren’t their games tagged as “boring” and “stale” because they’ve always stuck to their roots. Seeing them take a leap and finally taking the risks needed to burst their bubble was what truly made X and Y revolutionary. Taking risks with Sceptile, Mega-Evolution, Sableye, and one of the most beloved games (Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald) and altering them is a big risk yet they took it.

  9. Im gonna just say this ORAS’s map is INSANE

    there is so much detail you can find (contest hall,pokemarts,mauville redesign) as well as alot of question that arise from it ( dark cloud, new land form near sootopoliss, clouds covering sky pillar and probably battle frontier)

    its a very interesitng map to say the least

  10. Since Sableye’s gem on it’s chest grew as it Mega-evolved and since shiny Sableye has a green gem on it’s chest, I believe the shield for shiny Mega-Sableye will be green also… Pokemon Delta confirmed? ;X

  11. “The ruby, sapphire and emerald on Sableye’s body may be a reference to the three games of the generation it debuted in.” More proof, lol!

  13. So, without the need for a confirmation, our investigators on PJN have “confirmed” that Poke’Center and Poke’Marts are now separate.

  14. The landformt to the left of sootopoliss in the ORAS map is really getting me confused as to what it is. It wasnt int eh original map

    cant be cave of origin since its shown in sootopoliss

    so what could it be>?

  15. This was on Serebii “it is said that Mega Sableye uses the jewel as a powerful defensive tool in battle. From behind the shelter of the jewel, it can readily exploit the opponent’s weaknesses and take advantage of any openings. It is said that the jewel hardens into such strength that no attack can even make a scratch!”
    Does this look like Aegislash’s Stance Change?

    Reply
  16. I still have a good feeling about Frontier.

    If you look at the Kalos map, Kiloude City isn’t there. (because its available post game)

    On the ORAS map, Sky Pillar or Frontier aren’t there because they’re not available until post game.

  18. Knowing trollfreak, this is what they’ll do:

    Make Sableye sapphire exclusive, but its stone is only available in Omega
    Mawile ruby exclusive, but its stone available in Alpha.

    They did this with fricken X and Y. Able to catch Lairon in X but aggronite is in Y -_-

  19. Shiny Mega Sableye will have a green rupee, not a gold one. Regular sableye has a red gem in it’s chest. The Rupee thing is red on the mega evo. Shiny Sableye has a green gem in it’s chest. Therefore, it’s rupee will be green when it Mega Evolves :3

  32. What’s up with people not wanting to purchase the games now? And just because of Megas (which are optional). The purpose of competitive battling IMO is to battle to the best of your ability and have fun while doing it. You have to overcome many challenges in life and many challenges in the Pokemon world too. One of the main challenges of the Pokemon world are tough trainers. You encounter those trainers in online play a lot (and I mean A LOT) more than in in-game battles. I think GF is doing a great thing and trying to please the fans, but what do we give in return? Hate. I think that’s really unfair for GF. For God’s sake, look at the positives of things in life, don’t dwell on the negatives. Your life isn’t over because of a Mega Sableye, it’s just one more challenge added to the online scene. A challenge you need to overcome to be the very best like no one ever was! If you give up that easily, you aren’t such a good Pokemon trainer now are you? If you are not going to purchase ORAS and stop playing Pokemon because one stupid little thing, then it’s your loss. While everyone is having fun and enjoying Hoenn, you’re just going to sit there wanting the game, or wishing you would have bought it. One little thing doesn’t define a game, and it doesn’t ruin your Pokemon life either. It’s not about winning or losing, it’s about enjoying the game and having fun!

    witht his in mind i actually think there wont be a new patch and XY wont conenct with ORAS in this way :/

    • Don’t worry, I think they will make a new patch for X & Y because both X & Y and ORAS are 3DS games and we can simply trade over but I think we can’t put items on Pokémon Bank because it would end up using more space

  37. Now people are putting down Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire all because of Megas. I played my first run of X & Y without using Megas. It’s possible. Just don’t use it. I’m 100% going to be using Mega Sceptile on my first run through!

  38. It’s ironic how thirsty we are for information yet when we recieve what we’ve wanted for so long, we begin to flame and loathe on TrollFreak. When will everyone realize? TrollFreak does not have to make Pokemon games, it does not need to even release information yet they do this to build hype for their FANS. Unlike other gaming companies, Nintendo knows what their fans want and they give us what we want. It may not be what everyone wants but it’s still something. I have to agree with Jordinite, haters are going to hate because of a measly change in circumstance for their deemed, “favorite” game. Has society fed us so much that we’ve converted ourselves into negative, loathsome people? Don’t buy the game if you don’t want to, but please, stop the hate!

          • This is from the Pokemon Press Conference.

            “Sableye is a Dark- and Ghost-type Pokémon. Mega Sableye has concentrated all of the energy from Mega Evolution into the jewel which adorns its chest. Once Sableye has Mega-Evolved, this jewel will swell and become detached from its body. Mega Sableye uses the jewel as a powerful defensive tool in battle. From behind the shelter of the jewel, it can readily exploit the opponent’s weaknesses and take advantage of any openings. It is said that the jewel hardens into such strength that no attack can even make a scratch!”

          • Hey. I don’t make the cuts at GameFreak. I gave you the proof that you wanted! There’s no reason to be mad over 1 Pokemon that could be taken down by a Special Fairy. 😛

          • I used a special fairy
            and i’ve never been able to beat it
            I even had 3 Calm Minds and 2 Cotton Guards but like always they never let me touch it

            This thing just causes me so many freaking problems

          • I DON’T WANT TO USE A FUCKING SYLVEON

            AND EVERY TIME YOU GUYS TELL ME ITS LIKE TELLING ME THAT I HAVE TO DO WHAT U SAY TO WIN, BUT IT NEVER WORKS FOR ME

          • Calm down. It’s just a game. If your going to be mad, stay mad. You don’t have to follow my advise. If you don’t want to buy ORAS just because of Mega Sableye it’s your call. 😛

          • It may be a game but its a game i’ve put my heart and soul into
            I used to use Video Games as a gateway out of my miserable stressful real life
            But now they’ve become my ultimate stress causer
            Because my real life is lonely, miserable and pathetic

          • Jeez. No need to get so upset. We are giving you advice on how to highten your chances to win. We aren’t forcing it on you. Stop being so mean about something that isn’t required in the game to finish.

          • Calm down dude… And the end of the day. It’s just a game. There are more important things to be mad about like. Like in real life stuff.

          • You ever noticed how they over exaggerate the Dex description with Pokemon. Like in 6th gen they said meowstic could crush a 16 wheeler trunk with it’s power. When in reality it sucks 😐

          • It does not :O
            My female Meowstick totally crushed everything in its path during my Y playthrough. It rarely died.

  43. I really like Pokemon that are either associated with an object or holding something. I think it’s pretty cool. For example the Conkeldurr line and Flabebe/Floette and now Mega Sableye

  44. Dear Smogon, Serebii forums and other forums and shit

    So Ive been thinking to myself this: Have people forgotten what pokemon is really about. The fact that the underling mentality that the metagame (which is very important) is the end all be all to what makes a good pokemon game pretty goes to show that most now use their opinions about pokemon just to fuel arguments and irrational debates. While some still out there still truly love pokemon for what it is, I feel as if that group of is dwindling away. Stats do not make a pokemon better than another. Love the game for what it is and all the hard work put into it instead of spewing shit across the internet about how on little thing ruins the whole franchise.

        • Yes, but the typing really matters. With Stealth Rocks around, it’s hard to be a good Fire/Flying/Ice/Bug type. Seeing as those 4 types are pretty frail.. Although, this isn’t entirely true. Charizard Y and Volcarona are my examples of going past this. But they have things that differentiate them from the others. Charizard Y has Drought and high special attack, and Volcarona’s ability and Quiver Dance set it apart.

          Reply
          • Very true. However stats also matter a lot. In my opinion the most important stat is speed. Because this basically defines who attacks first and who manages to get the KO first.

            Another thing to consider is this. It goes without saying that a Primal Kyogre with a Special Attacking Stat of 200 is dangerous. In my opinion a a Primal Kyogre with a 110 base speed or 120 base speed is even ore dangerous….because now it out speeds the majority of Ubers and threatens to KO with stupidly strong moves..

          • Also one of the main reasons Mega Lucario is broken is because of that awkward speed stat where it out speeds all the bas 110 s and below…making it very hard to even revenge kill without a scarfer. ..again speed being the deciding factor

    • I’m totally a casual gamer, and don’t care for the metagame and competitive battling in general. All I care about is shinies, since I rarely encounter them.
      It’s that spark of something new and adventure that is in it for me 😀

  47. I can’t go through all comments, so I don’t know if it’s said before but I think Sableye may get Sapphire Mega Evolution, because all of its body has rubies, where the hell those sapphires go?

  48. So, um…
    I have been doing some research on SSB, and I have found that 9 newcomers have been announced (Villager, Wii Fit Trainer, Mega Man, Rosalina and Luma, Little Mac, Greninja, Mii Fighters, Palutena, and Pac-Man).
    This means there is a possibility of 1 new character left to be announced, as it would only make sense to do 10.
    Now, upon further analysis, I have come to a conclusion that most characters in the game come from Mario and Pokemon, meaning there will probably not be any more characters from those franchises.
    But, I have a hunch that most veterans WILL be returning from SSBB, as it wouldn’t make sense to leave them out.
    Now, that 1 newcomer. It would have to be from a series that doesn’t have many characters in the game, which brings me to a couple of options:
    • Dixie Kong (Donkey Kong Country series)
    • Helda (LOZ:LBW)
    • Roy (Fire Emblem Series)
    • Dark Pit (Kid Iccarus Series)
    • other
    Now these are just my guesses.
    I would love for you guys to check out my forum about this on Retry Level! (I’m lonely there… :()

  49. Dear Europe people:
    Reasons why you should not be upset:
    It is only a week, 7 days.
    And did you NOT get Mario and luigi dream team before us???
    Also:
    Nintendo has nothing against you,
    they are just simply not able to ship to Europe until a week later.
    There is nothing wrong with that.
    It happens.
    And you are going to get a pre-order bonus 9375094590238% better than ours XD
    as always.
    Complaining to Masuda or whatever won’t speed up the shipping process, it will only hurt feelings and will waste your own time.

  53. Just some class ideas about Splatoon

    Gunners: what we saw in the trailers
    Rollers: Use rollers for a wide radius paint coverage and a strong melee attack in sacrifice of any ranged capabilities
    Sprayers: Shorter range gunners but areas painted by them don’t show up on the minimap and also faster non squid movement
    Hose men: Slower gunners with a long range paint coverage

  54. Here are some 4chan observations of the Hoenn map:

    So, we’ve got the map of redesigned Hoenn now. Despite its tiny size, we can see some things if we look closely.

    -PokeCenter and PokeMarts are separate. There doesn’t seem to be any boutiques or anything like this added.
    -We’re back to the dull uniform Gym design. They are all yellow buildings.
    -Looks like Slateport, Vendanturf and Fallarbor Cities have Contest Halls (since it looks like Slateport has the same building). I guess this was predictable, since Contests are Hoenn’s “big feature” and they’ll probably be heavily hyped during the game coverage, while the Battle Tents were a gimmick.
    -The Route near Meteor Falls has been made more meteor-like now, with craters and all that stuff. Except Forme-changing rocks for Deoxys there (and possible Magneton/Nosepass evolution spot).
    -Mauville City seems to be the most redesigned city. Looks like it’s surrounded by a wall (with gates, unfortunately).
    -Hard to tell if Altering Cave is accessible (I hope it is, since I’d like them to finally give it a purpose).
    -Trainer Hill seems to be gone (it was originally an e-Reader thing, so I guess they preferred to axe it, rather than giving it a new purpose).
    -The small beacon on the Lilycove Seaside seems to be bigger. Maybe it’ll be given a purpose?
    -There seem to be no notable additions in the continental part of Hoenn. However, the marine part is heavily redesigned, with many new islands and islets to explore.
    -EverGrande City seems to be added some new buildings in the pre-Victory Road part. Perhaps it’ll finally feel like a city?
    -It’s hard to locate Sky Pillar? Maybe it’s under the cloud between Sootopolis and Pacifildog?
    -The Battle Tower/Frontier (hopefully the latter) is likely covered with clouds.
    -Southern Island is safe and sound, in case you had any doubt about its returning.
    -And yes… There’s that black blob on the north. But you’ve surely noticed that.

  58. Can they just make mega evolution have a permanent option? That would make a lot of people happy especially since a lot of pokes are getting snubbed for real evos.

However, in about two hours, I will be issuing recommendations, which means that certain people in Pokejungle will already be given a head start on that process. Certain people will NOT have to fill out an application, just accept or deny a position in one or more subdivisions of my website. Please note that if I don’t pick you, I have nothing personal against you. You will still be given an opportunity to go through the application process and will not be given any penalty when I choose staff through application results. 😀

  75. And now for the recommendations. This was tough to decide…

    The following people will NOT need to fill out an application for my website, and are automatically accepted as staff:
    ShinyNoivern
    Pokemaster4488
    Djja
    PercyEspeon
    Zeldaoreonerd
    HeavyMetalLamb
    Chicolombia
    One more person chosen by the fans, YOU!

    Here are the subdivisions of my website I WOULD LIKE to see you in. You get to ultimately choose two subdivisions to represent, but these are my recommendations:
    Djja- Hoenn Highlights
    Zeldaoroenerd- Greninja Gaming
    ShinyNoivern- Fletchling’s Fantastic Fangames, Farfetch’d Leeks
    HeavyMetalLamb- Farfetch’d Leeks, Greninja Gaming

    Those I have not named are still part of my staff automatically, but I have no recommendations for you. 😀

  76. GUYS THE GEM COMES OUT OF HIS FKIN BODY AND HE’S LEFT WITH A HOLE AFTERWARDS!!! I slowed it down and found that out! I feel that the pokedex would say that “he makes himself more vulnerable by creating the ultimate defense…” or something like that 😛

  77. OMG!!!!!!! YASS!!!! Finally! I am personally very happy with the concept. I’m not sure what the stats will be but can’t wait for this game in general. What do you guys think?

    • Yes and no. There’s no traditional “application”. Retry is a community based news site much like PJN. This means that we do accept community written articles and we do post them if they’re good or informative. All you have to do is go to the bottom right corner of the home page and click the “add article” button. Write your content and publish it. We’ll approve or disapprove. If you write many articles and have good skills, we’ll recognize your effort and possibly add you to the team. But it’s not up to me. I don’t have much say in that aspect.

  79. ok i play as Little Mac,Greninja,Mega man, And Zero suit
    Little mac is great addition to the roster being fast and agile and his recovery is easy to get use to
    Greninja…. Most of his attacks was kinda Bland to me…. his fastness didnt go well with his attacks and most of it was dodging
    Mega man…. Amazing Character all around and is great person
    Zero suit…. Same and kicks ass

  80. I dunno what has been said and what hasn’t been said, but I wanted to put out my two cents.
    I feel like this mega will get a Fur Coat like ability, to foil with Mega Mawile and Huge Power. The description on the main site seems like it’s pointing in this direction, too. It’s also worth mentioning that on the turn that it mega evolves, it will still be first if it uses Prankster.

  81. So I went to best buy to do the demo, and the man there cut me off getting in line. He said no one else can get in because they wouldn;t make it by 9:00. I got there at 5:00.

    -we pick the same route
    -then start fishing for a shiny and see who chains one in faster XD
    -then we take a pic of it of course

    You might have beat me two times Masuda’ing but I KNOW you can’t beat me chain fishing lol. I always get them quick.

  91. Everyone is talking about Mega Sableye (including me), and I’m just sitting here thinking about the beach background in today’s gameplay trailer (I’m not thinking about it, but someone has to). :3

  92. Calling the title & effect of Mega Sableye’s ability now!!!

    Huge Jewel The strength of the Pokémon’s defenses is doubled; the effect is halved if the ability is changed (Skill Swap).

    It’ll function as the defensive version of Mega Mawile who has:

    Huge Power The power of the Pokémon’s attacks is doubled; the effect is halved if the ability is changed (Skill Swap).

          • He’s just frustrated. People talk like that when they’re mad. I’m sure he’ll find closure eventually but in the meantime I think we should be nice to him even if some of us don’t understand how he feels and why.

  97. People that battle me know I only use Mawile (Jawnus) as my Mega. ORAS has now introduced two new Megas that I will NO DOUBT be alternating with Jawnus on my team. Sceptile and Sableye <3 Finally gonna be having some mega variety xD Of course, my biggest hope is for Mega Swagold ;~;

    Reply
  98. Ok. One more thing, and that’s it.

    I noticed that in the screenshots of Mega Sableye, its trainer has three pokémon. Could this mean that the Sableyite could be available pre-game? If it was post-game, then why doesn’t the trainer have a full team? Unless GF is trolling us again.

  99. Think of the potential Mega Luxray! 😀 This is one of the best ones I could find really, but think. Electric/Dark, looks vicious, black hair everywhere, electricity is leaking out of it.

  106. To completely change the topic. People talk about walking with Pokemon, and beg for it to be a feature again. Honestly, I wasn’t that big on walking with Pokemon and wish it was optional in HG/SS. And honestly again, I think Pokemon Amie is a much better alternative to walking with Pokemon. Every Pokemon able to be bonded with much more than simply walking with them

  108. I don’t think Mega Sableye can have Stance Change because it can’t learn King’s Shield (in XY anyway).

    Also, I’ve been reading comments on Gamefaqs, and maybe Mega Sableye won’t get a new ability because new abilities need to exist in XY to be compatible. That’s why Black and White Kyurem’s abilities aren’t new.

    Reply
      • But. But Sableye has such a beautiful offensive capabilities. :'(
        And it hurts me to see it used as a status slave.

        Reply
          • That could work, I just hope more people are willing to use it for attacking rather than statusing.

    • Mark my words, Mega Diancie & Mega Sableye will share the same ability. Double their defenses (defensive version of Huge Power). If the devil was here right now I’d bet my soul on it.

      Reply
      • I’m sure you’re right. Both of them have giant jewels in them. I’m actually hoping for new abilities, and maybe New Megas can’t be activated in XY, or, XY will have a massive patch update.

        Reply
        • Definitely a massive patch update. XY are on version 1.2 (when you start the game up it shows it on the menu), and the cartridge is 1.4G, 3DS cartridges can store up to 8G. I’m expecting a patch that allows XY to trade with the new stones.

  109. “Mega Sableye won’t get a new ability because new abilities need to exist in XY” – @UberMawile – 2014

    “There won’t be any new megas in ORAS because the stones would have to exist in XY, and they only found data for latiasites in XY” – Pretty much every body about a week or 2 ago.

    Reply
    • I didn’t say it won’t get a new ability. I’m just saying that most people think this might happen. Have you seen the new abilities I’ve predicted for Mega Sableye?

      1. Reversal (Reverses the user’s previous ability)
      2. Fearless (gives immunity to the user’s weaknesses)
      3. Huge Armor (doubles the user’s defense) (what most people have made up though)

  111. Don’t think regi shared this here, but we were talking earlier, he shared his own speculation on Sableye with me:

    regidudeam (6/11/14 11:20:29 PM): tc if i had to make a guess
    regidudeam (6/11/14 11:20:38 PM): to how the new ability works
    tcmets (6/11/14 11:20:43 PM): ?
    regidudeam (6/11/14 11:20:47 PM): I have two ideas
    regidudeam (6/11/14 11:20:52 PM): 1.
    regidudeam (6/11/14 11:21:12 PM): uses its defense stat as its atk stat only when attacking
    regidudeam (6/11/14 11:21:40 PM): 2. aegislash like ability
    tcmets (6/11/14 11:21:41 PM): O_O
    regidudeam (6/11/14 11:21:46 PM): but always ends up
    regidudeam (6/11/14 11:21:51 PM): in defense mode
    regidudeam (6/11/14 11:21:56 PM): even during the turn attacked
    tcmets (6/11/14 11:22:01 PM): That is crazy :O
    regidudeam (6/11/14 11:22:10 PM): I think it’s the first one
    regidudeam (6/11/14 11:22:25 PM): it makes a lot of sense to me
    regidudeam (6/11/14 11:22:31 PM): by its description

  113. Today has been a very eventful day. I have no idea what new stuff we can be given about ORAS now (besides more info about what we know already of course). Sleep tight and get along.

    *raises glass*

    Here’s to hoping for New Abilities. ORAS really could be the Gen 6.5 we’ve been hoping. There may not be any new pokémon, but there will be new Megas, new mechanics, and NEW SIGNATURE MOVES!!!! Primal G+K so have signature moves now!!!

    One last speculation theory of the night.

    Primal Rayquaza
    Type: Flying
    Abiltiy: Permanent Air Lock (Gets rid of weather effects FOR GOOD!!!)

    Still working on a signature move.

    Good night!

    • Yes I would love that for its ability. But nooooooo don’t get rid of its dragon STAB I beg of you !!! LOL.

      I’m going to bed as well and I’ll write my last bit of speculation here too XD
      If Red Orb/Blue Orb are the items to make Primal Regression forms, what if Lustrous Orb & Adamant Orb make Primal Regression Dialga & Palkia 0_0
      (dun dun dun)

      Reply
  114. One final thought and that’s it (why can’t I stop speculating Mega Sableye?!?!)!!!

    After rewatching the Mega Sableye trailer over and over, I have come come up with another theory!

    It might be pure Ghost!!! Why?

    1. After Mega Evolving, it is seen floating, and then floats down onto the ground.
    2. The moves it uses are Shadow Ball, Shadow Sneak, and Foul Play. The majority of those moves are Ghost Typed.
    3. It looks more like a Ghost now.
    4. With so many sources hinting at its having high defenses due to its Giant Gem, it’s only fair for it to have two weaknesses (Dark and Ghost) rather than one (Fairy).

    :3

    Good night. For real this time.
