Ruby
SABLEYE lead quiet lives deep inside caverns. They are feared, however, because these POKéMON are thought to steal the spirits of people when their eyes burn with a sinister glow in the darkness.
Sapphire
SABLEYE digs the ground with sharpened claws to find rocks that it eats. Substances in the eaten rocks crystallize and rise up to the POKéMON’s body surface.
Emerald
It digs branching holes in caves using its sharp claws in search of food--raw gems. A SABLEYE lurks in darkness and is seen only rarely.
Firered/Leafgreen
It feeds on gemstone crystals. In darkness, its eyes sparkle with the glitter of jewels.
