researcher, stone collector, sableye lover

I yearn for the mines.

Do gyms have like, contingency plans for Shedinja. Does every gym leader and elite four and champion make sure they have at least one pokemon with a move that can hit one. Because I'm sure for the most part that will happen naturally, as almost every pokemon can learn at least one dark type move and if not there's always ghost fire or flying moves as an option, but is this something that gym leaders make sure to do explicitly or has some poor sap forgotten this and ended up getting wiped by some kid's underleveled shedinja with the power of perseverance?

and you can tell so much about what's going on in an area's geology by looking at the sableye that live there because their diet of gems and its very visual effect on them (the colors, shape, and consistency of a sableye's gems are affected by what gems it eats), so you can get a very good idea of the most commonly formed gemstones in an area and what kind of mineral deposits are there, and how much! A sableye in an area with little iron deposits have gems that are much more brittle than ones in areas with higher iron, for example. isn't that neat? I love these little guys.

The current running theory is that it was likely just Umbreon and Espeon, though perhaps ones a bit different from the current known versions, and that Eevee's adaptability simply allowed it to refine its ability to gain energy needed to evolve from the sun and moon directly that it would've otherwise gotten from the Sun Stone and Moon Stone until it no longer needed those stones to evolve into those forms, thus rendering the gene inert over time.

this guy gets it

turns out there's a mega beedrill on the roof of the building.

This is absolutely not the standard for most sableye and is not easy to train into one unless you caught it while it was quite young so as much as I do love sableye I absolutely do not recommend fellow collectors of all things that glimmer getting one unless you're willing to deal with the possibilities of some gems going missing from your collection every now and then.
