Sharpedo#319

Its strongest point is Attack — higher than 88% of species. On the other hand, Sp. Def — lower than 91% of species. This is the final form of its line — it does not evolve any further. In defense it has 5 weaknesses, 6 resistances and 1 full immunity at its disposal. Psychic-type moves do nothing to it at all.

Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Attack; weak point: Defense.

A nature can improve this entry further: its boost hits hardest on Attack, the stat in which this species already leads. Which nature does that — see the list of natures.

Which nature to choose

It hits physically: its Attack (120) is 25 points higher than its Sp. Atk. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all.

  • Jolly +Spe · −SpA Its Speed is higher than 79% of species — ten percent more lifts it past some of the benchmarks that decide who moves first.
  • Adamant +Atk · −SpA If you already outspeed what you want to outspeed, those ten percent are better spent on hitting power.
  • Hidden Power and Weather Ball still deal damage based on Sp. Atk. If either of them is going into the set, lowering Sp. Atk is no longer free.
  • Speed Boost raises Speed by one stage at the end of every turn (×1.5 after the first, ×2 after the second). A +Spe nature also works before the first boost; after further turns, recalculate the Speed benchmarks.

A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.

Pokédex entry

Nicknamed “the bully of the sea,” SHARPEDO is widely feared. Its cruel fangs grow back immediately if they snap off. Just one of these POKéMON can thoroughly tear apart a supertanker.

TCG cards (18)

All Sharpedo cards →

Sharpedo has 18 cards in 15 sets. The oldest of them are shown below.

Offspring can come from 33 species from the same Egg Groups (with opposite genders) or from Ditto. Below are the first 12 by Pokédex number.

The Egg hatches after 20 cycles, which is roughly 5,400 steps. The exact cycle length depends on the game — newer titles shortened it noticeably — so treat this number as an order of magnitude, not a countdown. Having the Flame Body Ability in your party halves the wait.
