Sableye (Japanese: ヤミラミ Yamirami) is a dual-type Dark/Ghost Pokémon. Due to this, it is the first Pokémon to have no weakness.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

It is shown in "Ready, Willing and Sableye" that Sableye can know the move Lick

Biology

Physiology

Sableye are very diminutive hominid-like creatures with dark purple bodies. Their bodies are adapted for cave life as they are flexible enough to fit into small crevices while being tough enough to survive cave-ins. Their most distinguishing features are their gemstone-like eyes, which allow them to see in very little light. They have gemstones on their chests which grow as a result of its crystal and mineral diet. They are able to feed on such hard foods because of their sharp razor teeth, which are designed to crunch up rocks.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Sableye, along with its fellow Dark/Ghost-type Pokémon Spiritomb, has no natural weakness to a specific type unless moves like Odor Sleuth and Foresight are used on it, in which case Template:Type2 moves will affect it.

Behavior

There are old stories that say a Sableye will steal your soul if you look into its eyes. However, evidence suggests that these Pokémon are actually friendly, only playing their infamous tricks on travelers in order to get attention because they become lonely living in dark holes all by themselves.

Habitat

Sableye live in caves and abandoned mines, where they can readily find mineral deposits to eat.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

Sableye usually eat raw gems.

Trivia

Origin

Sableye is a stylization of the Hopkinsville Goblin, a creature from an alleged Kentucky "alien encounter" described as having shining eyes, small legs, clawed arms and swaying hips (a movement that Sableye does indeed imitate in the 3-D Pokémon games). The Hopkinsville aliens are most famous in Japan, where they have appeared in other anime and video games.

Name origin

Sableye's name is a combination of sable and eye; it may also be a play on the word able-eyed.

Yamirami may be a combination of 闇 yami, darkness, and 藪睨み yabunirami, a squint or 睨み nirami, glare.

In other languages

  • German: Zobiris
  • French: Tenefix - From ténèbre (darkness), and fixer (stare).
  • Korean: 깜까미 Kkamkkami
