07Why Collectors Want It

  • Sableye — Pokemon TCG catalog (Pokedex #302).
  • Required for any complete Sableye master set across eras.
  • Collectors of the Stormfront set need this card to finish it.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Basic Sableye with 60 HP; top attack around 10 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Ability: Overeager

If Sableye is your Active Pokémon at the beginning of the game, you go first. (If each player's Active Pokémon has the Overeager Poké-Body, this power does nothing.)

Impersonate Cost:

Search your deck for a Supporter card and discard it. Shuffle your deck afterward. Then, use the effect of that card as the effect of this attack.

Overconfident Cost: Darkness · 10 damage

If the Defending Pokémon has fewer remaining HP than Sableye, this attack's base damage is 40.

Resistance
Colorless -20
Retreat cost
1

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: Modern Common/Uncommon — most copies are not graded because raw value rarely justifies the fee.

Graded populations stay low; usually collected raw or sleeved rather than slabbed.

Other graders: Negligible BGS/CGC submission volume.
