What Sableye 10 does without attacking

Sableye 10 carries 1 printed effect that work outside the attack step, so it can matter on a turn the card never attacks.

Printed effects

Capped at once a turn

1 of 1

Read from the printed text quoted below, not counted anywhere else.

Excavate — Poké-Power · once a turn

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may look at the top card of your deck. Put that card back on top of your deck, or discard that card. This power can't be used if Sableye is affected by a Special Condition.

Quoted from the card face. The label after the dash is how the card itself names the effect.

Why this sits apart from the attacks

An attack costs Energy and ends your turn. What is printed above does neither — it is available while the card is in play, so it is a different kind of cost to a deck. Attack costs are in the section above.

Excavate can only be used once a turn

The words once during your turn are printed in it, which caps it at one use per turn on that one card. Two copies of the card in play are two separate Pokémon, so each carries its own use.

Is Sableye 10 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 10 damage attack that needs 1 Energy and one that needs two are different cards. Dividing one by the other puts every attack on the same scale.

Where this sits once the archive is cut by damage instead

The bars above cut the archive by what an attack asks for. Cut the same archive by what an attack prints and the groups come out differently — the damage ranges on record are gathered on one page, which is where a figure like 10 is read as high or low rather than merely large.

What does being a Darkness card do for Sableye 10?

Type decides two things at once — which cards take double damage from this one, and which cards deal double to it. Both are read from the weakness printed on each group, not from a rule of thumb.

What is Sableye as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?

Sableye 10 is one print of Sableye. The figures below are about the Pokémon rather than this single card — how many times it has been printed, how tough those prints run, and how many of them can still be played.

Sableye has been printed 33 times, and the printed numbers move from one print to the next. Point at a card to see it full size.Tap a card to open its page.

Is this the strongest Sableye print, and can the older ones still be played?

33 prints carry this name in the archive, and 31 of them are laid out below. They share a Pokémon but not a card — printed HP, printed damage and tournament legality all move from one print to the next.

Bar height and the number above each bar = highest HP that year; the two digits below = the year.

Rows run from the toughest print down. Bars are printed HP, measured against the toughest print of this name shown here (280 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

Sableye 10 in depth — what these figures add up to

Three readings of the same card, side by side: what it costs to get going, where it sits among the cards it will be compared with, and what takes it off the field.

What it asks a deck for

Its hardest attack, Disable, needs 1 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 1 turn from an empty card.
That works out at 10 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs 1 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.

Sableye 10 — frequently asked questions

What is the strongest attack on Sableye 10?

Disable, printed at 10 damage for 1 Energy — 10 damage per Energy card. Choose 1 of the Defending Pokémon's attacks. That Pokémon can't use that attack during your opponent's next turn.

What is the retreat cost of Sableye 10?

1 Energy, discarded from this card to move it out of the active spot. Retreating is allowed once per turn.

How often can you use Excavate?

Once during your turn. The limit is printed in the ability itself, and it is counted per Pokémon — a second copy of Sableye in play carries its own use.

Can an older Sableye print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 31 prints listed on this page, 5 are legal in Standard play. The rest can still be played in formats that accept them, and the table on this page names the regulation mark each print carries.

Can Sableye 10 be played in a tournament?

It is legal in Unlimited play. Standard events run on a rotating list of sets, so check the current rotation before entering one.

Does this page say how good Sableye 10 is in a deck?

No. Every figure here is read from the printed card. Deck lists, tournament results and win rates are not published on this site, because the card files it reads do not contain them.
