Sableye

Sableye's main niches as a Prankster user are its access to both Imprison and Taunt to disrupt every Pokemon - even Dark-types, Magic Bounce users, and Gholdengo - and its great Dark/Ghost typing making it dodge other Pranksters and be immune to trapping. Sableye is also a competent Encore, Trick, and Thunder Wave user. If Tricking Sitrus Berry, Sableye should have 1 HP IV to make its max. HP odd and therefore have Sitrus Berry activate as rarely as possible. Naive Black Sludge Sableye is OHKOed by Klefki Steel Beam, but Sableye generally KOes itself faster with Toxic Orb due to its tendency to stay in. Sableye may also want to Trick Toxic Orb to Steel-types and Poison-types. Note that Naive non-Black Sludge Sableye is still OHKOed by Magnemite and Gholdengo Steel Beam. Tera Ice makes Sableye better Steel Beam fodder and also lets it take more from Stealth Rock.
