So, I'm on the hunt for a Prankster Sableye, but while I do I'm trying to figure out the set I want to run with it. Don't even mention Taunt. I don't live like that. The one move that I know I DO want and seems to be a staple move on Prankster Sableyes anyway is Recover.
As for the other moves? I'm thinking of W-o-W, Confuse Ray, Hone Claws, Sucker Punch, Shadow Sneak. I'm basically trying to improve on my Gen IV Sableye for those of you who remember it. Probably nobody reading this remembers except for KoL, who never had much trouble with my Sabelye or my team in general anyway.
EV spread and Nature obvs depend on the set I decide on, but I remember on my last Sableye I did 252 Attack and split the rest into Defense and Special Defense. I like how that worked out because my Sableye ended being able to take hits moderately well. I'm wondering if I should go full HP this time instead of Attack and leave the rest in defenses? I could then rely on Hone Claws for Attack boosting, and the accuracy boost would greatly benefit W-o-W.
Item is also up in the air but I'm for anything that increases Sableye's longevity, like Leftovers. Though with Recover I could run Life Orb, which would help whatever attacking move I choose to have. I DO want an attacking move, because that's how I live my life.
Calm Mind and Dark Pulse/Shadow Ball is also viable, but I prefer to stay physical.
