I mean, this is a mega sableye thread an all :P But it's not like you don't get prankster before you mega evolve... It didn't get quash in XnY, right??? I noticed that too.

Even though Quash is a TM you can't teach it to Sableye until ORAS. I'll check right now. But yes, this IS a Mega Sableye thread. I think that discussing the pros and cons of the Mega v. non-Mega is fine for an analysis thread as well.

yeah true true hahah. That is weird how it doesn't learn it via TM... I actually didn't know quash was a TM. I dont wanna sound like a jerk, but I think the main pro for regular sableye on your team is that you can run a better megga, and still have an amazing pokemon. Like, mega slowbro for example... It petty much does the same thing with a lower special defense.

I do like mega sableye a lot though. I've been wanting a bulky magic bounce user for the longest time. I'm not a fan of the speed drop, but beggars can't be choosers.

If you have other burners, then Dazzling Gleam could easily replace Will-o-Wisp for better coverage. Id also put Shadow Ball as an option that you could use over Dark Pulse.

Dazzling gleam doesn't cover as much as dark pulse or shadow ball. And as said before Mega bunny doesn't always run facade. It's usually HJK,frustration, an elemental punch and sub/healing wish. Dazzling gleam does cover fighting and dragons super effectively, but dark pulse also hit them for neutral damage. With at least one CM up it doesn't really matter a whole bunch if you hit for super effective damage. Dark pulse or shadow ball also get a STAB boost. Also running protect on mega Sableye is a great idea so you can protect on incoming HJK From lop, causing it to take crash damage. Then you can switch into the appropriate wall or check.
