Excavate is listed as Ability. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may look at the top card of your deck. You may discard that card. The attack Disable lists 10 damage. The cost is Colorless. Choose 1 of your opponent's Active Pokémon's attacks. That Pokémon can't use that attack during your opponent's next turn. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "This Pokémon is feared. When its gemstone eyes begin to glow with a sinister shine, it's believed that Sableye will steal people's spirits away."

I keep a set binder for Celestial Storm, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Celestial Storm set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Sableye can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
