Pokédex entries
Sharpedo
| Ruby | 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. |
|---|---|
| Sapphire | SHARPEDO can swim at speeds of up to 75 mph by jetting seawater out of its backside. This POKéMON’s drawback is its inability to swim long distances. |
| FireRed LeafGreen |
The ruffian of the seas, it has fangs that crunch through iron. It swims by jetting water from its rear. |
| Emerald | The vicious and sly gangster of the sea. Its skin is specially textured to minimize drag in water. Its speed tops out at over 75 miles per hour. |
| Diamond Pearl Platinum |
Its fangs rip through sheet iron. It swims at 75 mph and is known as “The Bully of the Sea.” |

| Sun | It pursues its prey at speeds of 75 mph and finishes them off with fangs that can crush iron. It is known as the bully of the sea. |
| Moon | It has a sad history. In the past, its dorsal fin was a treasured foodstuff, so this Pokémon became a victim of overfishing. |
| Ultra Sun | People believe that carrying one of its discarded fangs will prevent mishaps at sea, so the fangs are made into accessories. |
| Ultra Moon | It drinks in seawater and jets it from its rear to propel itself. It’s very sensitive to the scent of blood. |
| Sword | As soon as it catches the scent of prey, Sharpedo will jet seawater from its backside, hurtling toward the target to attack at 75 mph. |

Mega Sharpedo
| Sun | The spines sprouting from its head are transformed fangs. If they’re injured or broken off, the spines will regenerate countless times. |
|---|---|
| Moon | As a consequence of Mega Evolution, its combative instincts exploded. The yellow marks it bears are scars from a long history of battles. |
| Ultra Sun | The yellow patterns it bears are old scars. The energy from Mega Evolution runs through them, causing it sharp pain and suffering. |
| Ultra Moon | The moment it charges into its opponent, sharp spikes pop out of Sharpedo’s head, leaving its opponent with deep wounds. |
