Sharpedo (Japanese: サメハダー Samehader) is a dual-type Water/Dark Pokémon.

Biology

Physiology

Sharpedo's body is torpedo shaped, much like the head and trunk section of a real shark. Its body is covered in tiny, sharp denticles which create 319Sharpedo.pnghydrodynamic advantages by reducing turbulence when swimming, as well as cause damage to foes to that attack it physical moves. Sharpedo is colored blue with a white underbelly. The yellow star emblem it had as a Carvanha has migrated to its snout. Another star emblem is on its rear. Sharpedo has a tall dorsal fin with two notches cut into it, with a pelvic fin directly opposite it, and the two pectoral fins arranged so that they resemble the fins on the back of a torpedo. Sharpedo also has two gill slits directly behind each eye.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Sharpedo's abilities are the same Carvanha's except that Sharpedo's attacks are stronger. Sharpedo can now use Poison Jab, Slash, Night Slash 319Sharpedo.pngand Earthquake.

Since Sharpedo is a fully evolved Pokémon, it can use Hyper Beam and Giga Impact.

Behavior

Sharpedo is a generally dreaded and distrusted Pokémon. Sharpedo moves through the sea by swimming at speeds of up to 120 km/h (75 mph) by forcing water out of its rear. Despite its vigor, Sharpedo has relatively low stamina, and is unable to swim great distances. Its teeth are strong enough to bite through metal, and they grow back rapidly if they snap off. Sharpedo is driven by an unruly, caustic urge to attack and destroy anything that enters its domain. As a result of its temperament and its armament, just one Sharpedo can effectively tear apart an oil tanker.

Habitat

Sharpedo live in the upper regions of the oceans.

Main article: Pokémon food

Just like Carvanha, Sharpedo are predatory Pokémon that will prey upon any creature they can sink their teeth into.

In the anime

Sharpedo's first major appearance was in Sharpedo Attack!. A school of Sharpedo attacked Ash and co, plus Mr. Briney, while they were at an uncharted, crescent-shaped island. They gained the school's trust when Brock healed their leader's injury when it came across Team Rocket.

A group of Sharpedo were used by Pokémon Hunter J's henchmen to attack Ash and co, along with Hajime, in DP071.

Trivia

• On April Fool's Day, 2002, Mizuado, a Steel/Water hammerhead shark Pokémon was "revealed", but it turned out to be a fake. This Pokémon was also sometimes called Samehadaa, which is similar to Sharpedo's Japanese name.
• Sharpedo is the only one of the three Water/Dark Pokémon with an English name that does not begin with "C."

Origin

Sharpedo is based on a shark with the body of a torpedo. It also looks like a shark that has been cut in half.

Name origin

Sharpedo's name is a combination of the words shark and torpedo. The first part of its name may also be derived from sharp, referencing its fins and Rough Skin ability. Samehader may be a corruption of 鮫肌 samehada, fishskin, perhaps referring to its Rough Skin ability. In addition, its name may be a combination of 鮫 same, shark, and 肌荒れ hada-are, rough skin. Samehada may also reference a creature from Japanese mythology of the same name. Samehada, in the myth, was the partner to the three-tailed demon shark Isonade.

In other languages

• German: Tohaido - A combination of Torpedo and Hai, meaning "shark".
• French: Sharpedo
• Korean: 샤크니아 Sharkunia
