CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

In caverns, Sableye leads a discreet life searching for stones to eat. Its claws dig, its teeth crush, and the substances it absorbs later emerge on the surface of its body as crystals. The gems that make it so distinctive tell the story of its diet. Its mineral appearance is more than decoration: it is built from what it eats.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Lost Mine becomes available to this Sableye only when the player has at least ten cards in the Lost Zone. The attack then distributes twelve damage counters among opposing Pokémon as desired. Its effect therefore depends on a threshold of cards already set aside rather than a printed damage number.
