Shadow Sableye Dark Ghost · Great League
GBL Note Analysis Basis: PvPoke simulation · last-30-day field meta · S27 New Beginnings
Limited field sample — not seen enough in the last 30 days of GBL Note data, so the analysis below is based on simulation and type matchups.
✔ Strengths & how to use Its Lead · Switch role scores are all high, so it isn't tied to one slot and can flex across positions. It posts favorable results against current field-meta staples Lickilicky(#1) · Empoleon(#19), giving it real value as a meta counter. On defense it double-resists Normal · Psychic · resists Fighting · Poison, holding up well against those attackers. ⚠ Weaknesses & threats On defense it is weak to Fairy, so watch out for those attackers. It's notably unfavored into Tinkaton (usage rank #2), common right now, so dodging that matchup is safer in the current meta. GBL Note verdict It's barely seen in the last 30 days of field data. On paper it's A-tier, with an edge expected in matchups like Lickilicky(#1) · Empoleon(#19).
