Mega Sableye is a Dark and Ghost Mega Raid boss in Pokémon GO. Due to its double (and only) weakness to the Fairy type, the best counters for Mega Sableye should be strong Fairy Pokémon.
You cannot catch Sableye in its mega-evolved form from the raid. The mega raid boss is always catchable in its base form, and as such, the CP ranges are for a regular Sableye.
Sableye can be caught with the following CP values:
- 789 – 843 CP at level 20, no weather boost
- 986 – 1054 CP at level 25 with Fog weather boost
Around 2-5 trainers with strong and high-level Pokémon can take down Mega Sableye with relative ease, no matter what the weather in the game is like.

How to get Mega Sableye in Pokémon GO
In order to get Mega Sableye, you will need 100 Mega Energy for the initial evolution. Once you Mega Evolve a Pokémon for the first time, Mega Energy will no longer be required for that specific Pokémon to Mega Evolve again. Instead, the Pokémon will become exhausted after its Mega Evolution and need to rest before being Mega Evolved again. In other words, there is now a cooldown period after you Mega Evolve a Pokémon. You can level up your Mega Pokémon in order to decrease this cooldown period.
Mega Energy can be obtained via Mega Sableye Raids, and once you have evolved Mega Sableye, you can earn 5 Mega Energy per candy while walking it as your buddy. You can walk any Sableye to earn Mega Energy, as long as you have previously evolved one to register it to your Mega Pokédex.
Sprites
Like all Mega Raid Bosses, you can catch the shiny version of Sableye from a Raid. The odds of getting a shiny Sableye are 1 in 10 Raids. Here are the sprites for normal Sableye and Mega Sableye.
| Regular Sprite | Shiny Sprite |
|---|---|
