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

  2. Also, Diancie episode is going to air July 17th and features Diancie with her butlers in search of Xerneas before they meet Ash and co.

  3. The prologue to Movie 17 takes place during Autumn, further proving the theory that this movie will take place after the fourth gym and Ash may be skipping Lumiose City’s gym leader.

  4. so essentially here you set up with a prankster sableye and then proceed to use foul play once mega evolved?

    • or you can lead off with sableye, opponent goes to taunt you, you mega evolve and magic bounce the taunt back and get in a free nastyplot/calm mind and then put a hole in the foes team.

      Will also work well in trick room teams since it’s slow.

  5. I kinda hoped that it would keep its normal ability. Prankster saybleye is amazing and if it got these stat boosts it would be unstoppable but still neat.

  6. For Earthen:

    252+ SpA Mega Venusaur Giga Drain vs. 4 HP / 252 SpD Assault Vest Solid Rock Rhyperior in Sand: 102-126 (53.4 – 65.9%) — guaranteed 2HKO

    252 SpA Life Orb Greninja Hydro Pump vs. 4 HP / 252 SpD Assault Vest Solid Rock Rhyperior in Sand: 164-191 (85.8 – 100%) — 6.3% chance to OHKO

    252 SpA Life Orb Sceptile Leaf Storm vs. 4 HP / 252 SpD Assault Vest Solid Rock Rhyperior in Sand: 191-226 (100 – 118.3%) — guaranteed OHKO

    252 SpA Life Orb Sceptile Giga Drain vs. 4 HP / 252 SpD Assault Vest Solid Rock Rhyperior in Sand: 109-133 (57 – 69.6%) — guaranteed 2HKO

    252+ SpA Life Orb Ludicolo Scald vs. 4 HP / 252 SpD Assault Vest Solid Rock Rhyperior in Sand: 117-140 (61.2 – 73.2%) — guaranteed 2HKO

    252 SpA Roserade Giga Drain vs. 4 HP / 252 SpD Assault Vest Solid Rock Rhyperior in Sand: 99-117 (51.8 – 61.2%) — guaranteed 2HKO

    Based on this I wouldn’t recommend your planned set. You’d want to see at least guaranteed 3HKO

    • U know Milotic has zero affiliation with the fairy type whatsoever right?
      It is a undersea serpent, not a magical being the only thing you could possibly back up a fairy typing is its beauty nothing else

        • Whatever, i still don’t think that’ll be the case
          and besides Alakazam is Machamp’s Counterpart and he didn’t get one

          Reply
          • No they are not
            They where the Physical and Special Counterparts
            Both 3 staged and needed to be traded to evolve

          • Um…Well you see Gengar has three stages needed to evolve, and Alakazam and Gengar are super effective against each other

          • Alakazam could be seen as a counterpart to Machamp. They are both the last stage of a three-part evolutionary family, they reach their final stage by trading, and they both have a 75% male gender ratio. Also, Alakazam excels at the Special Attackstat, while Machamp excels at Attack. They are both in all regional Pokédexes (excluding the Unova dex). Their evolutionary families are also next to each other in the National Pokédex. Moreover, a girl in Oreburgh City will trade her Abra for a Machop.
            face it they are counter parts

          • Just because you don’t like fairies doesn’t mean Milotic won’t be one. Also, there are many more megas that will be revealed. Don’t get discouraged yet.

      • Milotic is based off of Sirens, normally affiliated with fairies. Sirens are the magical manifestation of water in a tangible and almost human form. It’s design gives off an aura of majestic beauty, something modern fairies are known for. It’s name can be derived from “melodious” or “melody,” something fairies are known for; singing with beautiful voices. In Greek mythology, fairies can also transform into serpentine beauties capable of luring humans. Need I go on?

          • Fairies in older tales were often dark manifestation of humans and how they evolved into greedy creatures. To soothe such fears and greed, aquatic creatures such as sirens would sing beautiful songs that alleviated all greed and darkness. Many believe fairies would bring good luck and fortune to human beings as well as beauty, something Milotic is known for.

  7. Earthen to be fair, the set isn’t exactly that bad if you don’t use it against Grass/Water types. But since it’s part of your Ground team, yeah, it’s not the best =/

    252 SpA Mega Alakazam Focus Blast vs. 4 HP / 252 SpD Assault Vest Solid Rock Rhyperior in Sand: 124-147 (33.3 – 39.5%) — guaranteed 3HKO

    I mean that’s fantastic just as an example

    • My Brother always told be that sometime i can’t fight math
      Then again i’m aggressively stubborn

      So who cares if the special odds aren’t too favorable
      i still have massive attack power to 1HKO the bastards the first round

      So i think i’ll leave Rhy the way he is
