Mega Sableye Weakness
Type-wise, Mega Sableye takes extra damage from Fairy. Normal, Fighting, and Psychic moves do nothing thanks to a full immunity. Mega Sableye's overall bulk (50/125/115) lets it take a hit or two from most weaknesses before going down.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Fairy |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Poison |
| 0x (Immune) | Normal, Fighting, Psychic |
