Sableye 105/185 Pokémon Vivid Voltage Reverse Holo
Sableye live deep within caverns, particularly near veins of precious stones. Because of this, their presence is often used as an indicator of valuable jewels. However, mining in Sableye territory is highly unadvised; Sableye are natural tricksters that enjoy playing “pranks” on lost spelunkers by destroying equipment or altering paths. They rarely attack directly unless their primary food source—jewels—is threatened; they compete with Gabite for resources. Sableye dig holes in cave walls and floors in search of gems and ore, which they crush with their razor-sharp teeth before eating. Minerals in the ore they eat crystallize on the surface of their bodies, forming various arrangements of gems that can differ between individuals. Their eyes glitter sinisterly when exposed to bright light, such as the beams from flashlights. The unsettling nature of their eyes have led to tales of Sableye stealing the souls of any unfortunate travelers who happen to gaze into them. Sableye move about very erratically, jittering and convulsing with every step as their heads twitch from side to side. This only adds to their eerie demeanors.
