Sharpedo Description

Sharpedo is the evolved form of Carvanha. It is a Water and Dark-type Pokemon known for its high Attack, fast offensive pressure, shark-like appearance and access to Speed Boost as its hidden ability.

Competitive Overview

Is Sharpedo Good in Competitive?

Sharpedo can be a dangerous offensive Pokemon because of its high Attack, useful mixed attacking options and Speed Boost. It often works best as a late-game cleaner that waits until opposing teams are weakened before trying to sweep.

Sharpedo’s biggest strengths are Water and Dark-type STAB moves, biting coverage, Speed Boost and Mega Sharpedo’s Strong Jaw ability. Its biggest issue is its frailty, so it usually needs careful positioning, smart switches or Protect support to stay safe.
