Sharpedo is a savage and compact shark-like Pokémon that was introduced in the third generation games. It is the evolved form of Carvanha.

Information

Sharpedo evolves from Carvanha at Level 30. It is a vicious Pokémon that is usually compared to a gangster or a bandit of the sea, and it is also known as "the bully of the sea". Sharpedo can swim at speeds of seventy-five miles per hour by jetting seawater through its body. Its skin is specially textured to minimize drag in water. Sharpdo's main drawback is that it is not able to swim long distances. It has fangs that can rip through sheet iron, and Sharpedo's fangs grow back if snapped off. A single Sharpedo is capable of tearing apart a supertanker.
