Sharpedo
#98 in the Hoenn Pokédex • Brutal Pokémon
Pokédex entries
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.
