New information on Sableye’s Mega Evolution has been revealed on the official Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha sapphire website!
Mega Sableye will have higher Defense and Special Attack stats at the cost of its Speed being slightly reduced. It also has the ability Magic Bounce, so any non-damaging status moves, stat reducing attacks, or entry hazards will be reflected back at the user.
During battle, Mega Sableye shelters itself behind the jewel, from where it can take advantage of any openings its target leaves exposed. — Official Site

Awesome! It’s like Cofagrigus with a few plot twists! I’ll be using it. :3
I like how this was posted in a dead period, so no one is on right now.
Plus there is only 2 comments on here.
A rarity. :3
Make that three!
Wow. I can definitely say nobody expected Magic Bounce 0_0 it’ll have a unique niche of mega evolving when you suspect someone to taunt you. Hmm think I have to breed a sp atk one soon lol.
Hell yes. Got it figured out already.
Just looked at its movepool. It gets “Nasty Plot” 0_0
Magic Bounce your opponent’s taunt back to them and set up Nasty Plot.
Proceed to dint a hole in your opponents team !!
But it’ll be so slow :'(
With its new increased defenses, running in front of dual screens, it’ll do great.
It’ll also function great in a trick room team.
It’s similar to Cofafrigugs, but no mummy, no ability to learn trick room, and a fairy weakness lol.
And no Lefties held item. It gets Recover, but it loses that priority >.<
True. I would have preferred they gave it the counterpart to Mawile’s ability lol, doubling its defenses or something, but I dunno .. I still don’t mind this one ^_^ I just want to send out that big red jewel haha
Something better than Nasty Plot could be Calm Mind 😉
And check Fortree!!! XD
WHOA! HOLY wejewr didn’t know it gets Calm Mind. I only just glanced at egg moves and not everything else lol. Genius! and I can’t find a good render to zoom in on! Can you link me to good one?

Thanks!!! I see it. I giggled with excitement haha. I hope they put a mega stone there. Like Tropiusite or something.
Altarianite 😉
The defenses will be raised, but it still won’t be too bulky with a 50 base HP. it’ll get to 480 BST, and really that’s the only way it seems it can be viable is in a Trick Room team or screens up.
Mmmmmmmmm Thunder Wave
Trick Room support may be better though… T-Wave though…
Would depend on how slow it is for those who would use it in doubles.

Sableye STILL could have a second Mega just waiting to be revealed.
I’ve already said my opinions on the other article ;~; Shoulda waited for this one XD Too lazy to copy/paste, I hate this Mega ;~;
And I hate your Espeon.
I haven’t used that thing in months lmao
Thank God. I hope it’s in the Pokémon Tower.
ROTLMMFAOOO
“Never say die”, I guess.
No Espeon hate D:
Espeons are love. Espeons are life. :3
I love Espeon. I just hate his because I can’t set up. XD
xD Okays.
Wish I could’ve got one of those Octazooka Sableye’s from 5th gen
At least it doesn’t get Protean. That would have made you feel worse.
Well.. atleast Ian doesn’t have to stress Mega Sableye so much anymore ^_^ he’ll have to still fear the more superior Prankster Sableye XD
I Heard that!
So…Pro Offensive Sabelye Fans rejoice? It’s not mixed, but horray?
*Back to MM’ing for Zorua while listening to 30 minutes of Laverry City music on youtube.
The Sableye in the Genesect Movie used Psychic, a special move. It was foreshadowing its Mega’s Sp. Atk increase and we all missed it!
As well as Octazooka Sableye being an event. All these sp atk hints lol. And the trailer showed Mega Sableye using Shadow Ball so I kind’ve got the feel that it’s special atk would get increased.
True, but the trailer threw me off though because Sableye used three moves, and two of them were physical (Shadow Sneak and Foul Play).
IKR! For a sec it made me think it was going to get Stance Change since it was using moves Aegislash normally does. And then I started thinking it would get an ability that would double its defenses, looks like I was wrong both times.
We were all wrong. No one saw Magic Bounce coming. It’s so random. Then again, it’s also random for Mega Absol. All I wanted was a Protean Mega Sableye.
At least it can learn Role Play via Move Tutor and use it against those pesky Greninja.
I thought its vast appearances in the movie and other parts of the franchise during that time meant it would get an evolution at the time. I’m sad that it didn’t but at least it got some more love.

Maybe we’ll get Mega Sableyite R and S. R being a boost in Defense and Sp. Attack with a Ruby and S being a boost in Attack and Sp. Defense with a Sapphire…
Then what about Mawile?
Then what about Mawile?
Just because they were once version exclusives doesn’t mean they’ll both get seperate megas. I say this because this Mega Sableye has a red gemstone. If you look at its back it also has blue and green gemstones. Why go with red specifically?
Phew…Mega Sableye doesnt get Prankster.
Am I the only one that’s fond of Megas that have a different role to their base forms.
Im interested to see how this pans out…It won’t be a top tier threat, but it will see some use in the lower tiers.
With that boosted defence and access to Calm Mind, it can become quite the tank.
Plus most megas are quite strong so it’s cool to have one like this. It certainly didn’t get the Mawile treatment but I think it has potential if played right.
Prankster forever!!!
Off-topic: Fifachu! http://i.imgur.com/No37qy8l.jpg
Wally Confirmed!!!!!
Man i was literally afraid of Prankster but its only Magic Bounce, thank…Gaia
But still it don’t mean that Sableye just can go about as a Normal Prankster Leftovers Sableye that’s a huge pain in anyone’s asses
Oh anyone notice the bigger reflection within the jewel? I gotta give props to GF
Oh BTW that jewel weighs 330 pounds
People be suggesting secondary megas like they’re free. If any Pokemon is to get a secondary mega, it’s Blaziken. That’s it.
naw only the most popular of popular of Pokemon will get them
Charizard and Mewtwo outrank anybody in terms of secondary mega evolution
And besides if we just get 2 megas per Poke it wouldn’t be special
Secondary Mega? I always just thought Popular Pokemon get Mega Evolutions!
Too many people believe in a second mega sableye or sceptile. It’s not happening . xD
For some reason, I believe its going to be Blaziken too if it were to happen. Because thinking about it now, most people wouldn’t choose Blaziken because he’s been already available for a long time now unless he had another one, right? Idk its logical
I love how in it’s artwork, half of it’s face is enlarged by the ruby making it look even creepier
I love that too! I find it adorable though haha
Does the perks you get from amie stay even in a wi-fi battle?
Hells No
Its not me 😮
Can you plz just answer me?
From what I’ve seen, the amie perks only work for the main game, which sucks ._.
Dang…
It’s good and bad. Good because it would really suck for the player’s opponent to manage a critical or dodge a lot of their moves. Bad because it makes the player’s Pokemon more powerful and the boost cannot be used competitively . >.>
What do you guise think about MSableye’s ability? Would you consider it to be beneficial?
Its beneficial to me if it mega’d the first turn and i has Slurps 1HKO it before it gives me any guff
Glad to see you’re finally using fairies :3
I’ve always used Slurpuff
Magic Bounce isn’t THAT BAD of an ability. It’s still able to do what it normally does, just without the priority. One of the best ways to cripple Sableye was with status or taunt, but that’s not happening anymore. Sableye will still be useful, but the way it’s used will change.
Higher Physical, Special or both? Not sure if I should breed a Modest, Calm, Timid or Bold Sableye o____o
Simple, None
that way i keep whats left of my sanity
I never said I would battle you with them .-.
Plus, it’s already confirmed to have higher Defense and Sp.Atk
Got it. Breeding for Sp.Def because it’s only weakness is fairy which is special and regular defense is receiving another boost.
Wouldn’t it suck if mega sableye and mega mawile were exclusives and their mega stones were found in the opposite game the pokemon isn’t in like in x and y!
Getting both games :3 Plus i don’t think people would care much. You can get the opposite pokemon from a trade similar to how i got Y’s exclusives like trading a clauncher for a Skrelp. Plus, it sucks for the person who got mega mawile unless they prefer it and don’t care for mega sableye because the mega stone can be traded from X and Y o_o
(Fan-girl scream) ahh Can’t wait! I am getting both of them too! And true true!!! Not to mention in x and y, you can duplicate items and pokemon.
IF you have two 3DS q.q
I got two because I have no life haha forever alone 🙁
Watch thier mega stones aren’t released until Pokemon Z. Like the Diancite.
Uhhh Diancite is going to be in ORAS. It said specifically in the trailer.
What I meant by that was that Diancie was revealed in XY. Mega stone not until ORAS. Mega Sableye revealed for ORAS. Mega stone not until Z. 😛
Ooooh but that’s different. They announced Mega Sableye and showed gameplay of it in THIS game.
You’re taking me too serious. :3
OR, maybe I’m being sarcastic 😉
Maybe you’re dumb. Get back to work on JJ. 😡
RUED and or Possibly ROOD. o______________o
Gotta do laundry so Imma work on it when i get home :p
When you get back, I want a tour on what I have been missing out on JJ!

OmA(oh my Arceus)! These are so authentic and fabulous! I am gonna cry myself to sleep now, in the good way! Haha
They’re going to drink your tears and spread it across Zahrre o_______________o xD
Thanks
Oh no he di’nt, girlfrien! You were trolling?! Haha (ratchet snap)
Haha I would be done with pokemon and one year later, when Z comes out, I am gonna be luke, “I can never stay mad at you!” Haha
So basically they mega evolved sableye for competitive play.
Yes and I hope the magic bounce ability will make up for its lost of speed
And they mega evolved Milotic so I would shut up about it.
I hope. I want my water/fairy milotic!
They tried to make it offensive by boosting it’s weaker offensive stat. ..
I still think it’s going to be decent if played right. Maybe not a top tier threat but fun non the less
I 100% suck at competitive battling but observed other people play and its so inspiring!!! I need to learn how to battle before hese games come out!
I just got into it in X and Y. Before I just used to watch people and it looked like a lot of fun. X and Y made it easier to do with the ease of connecting using the PSS. I’m not that great myself but it’s a lot of fun.
I was a competitive noob when i started in Black and white (only won 28 matches)
but now i’m more experienced then ever
Such an inspiring story! I need to learn more on breeding before battling first.
It super easy once you boil it down
I’m still learning the secrets
But before any breeding you need to figure out a good team that suits your needs
Hehe about that, its the other problem I have. I don’t know how to make a competitive team.
we’ll think of something
I’ve always wanted to try this Haxorus idea
So true! Shofu and ShadyPenguin are so funny at doing it too!
Don’t worry we’ll teach or inadvertently killing you in the process
Its a deal haha
You should try pokemon showdown that’s the only competitive battling I’m good at. I suck on the real games though. XD
Yeah, I play it with my older brother all the time but I can never beat him. I learn from my mistakes though.
Try showdown. Also, with each generation/set or games I learn something new.
Beautiful Pokemon fusions. [refresh]
It give a lovely majestic feel to it. Such a graceful vibe! (,:
I agree. It almost looks Water/Fire.
It’s funny though because to the left,we have Altaria which TC and I both want to get mega so bad, and then to the right we have Milotic which chico highly wants as a mega haha. I hope they both get one.
Its a sign, I tell ya’. May the odd ever be in your favor! Who will get it?its so exciting!
I just dead.
that’s how mega altaria should look like and it should be dragon/fairy! it’s the only existing dragon that deserves to get that typing design wise!
That Milotic + Goldeen is something even Mega-Milotic cannot compete with. And yes, I’m saying Mega-Milotic is real already.
