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. Not only does it have no weaknesses, it also has 3 immunities, which are to Normal, Fighting, and Psychic. It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
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
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.

Trivia
- There are only two Pokémon created so far that are naturally weak to no type, of which Sableye is the first and the second is Spiritomb. The only ways to get a super-effective hit on those two are either to use Foresight or Odor Sleuth followed by a Template:Type2 move, or to use a Pokémon with the Scrappy ability which knows a Template:Type2 move.
- Since Sableye is one of the two Pokémon that do not have a weakness, hackers love to hack Sableye and Spiritomb with Wonder Guard. Despite Wonder Guard protecting against all but super effective moves from hitting (effectively meaning none could), Sableye can still be affected by Will-O-Wisp and other burn- or poison-causing attacks. Another way of countering hacks such as this is by using the move Gastro Acid which eliminates the effect of the foe's ability, thus making the Pokémon vulnerable to non-super effective attacks. Pokémon like Cranidos and Rampardos will also cancel the Wonder Guard with the ability Mold Breaker.
- Sableye is known for having both a ruby and a sapphire on its body. Its Template:Shiny2 form appears to have an emerald on the chest. This is most likely a reference to the three games of the generation it debuted in.
- Sableye shares the same species name with Murkrow. They are both known as Darkness Pokémon.
Origin
Sableye appears to be based on a imp.
Name origin
Sableye's name is a combination of sable and eye; it may also be a play on the word able-eyed. Its Japanese name may be a combination of 闇 yami, darkness, and 藪睨み yabunirami, a squint or 睨み nirami, glare.
