Sharpedo (Japanese: サメハダー Samehader) is a Water/Dark-type 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 hydrodynamic advantages by reducing turbulence when swimming, as well as provide protection against physical attacks. Sharpedo is colored blue with a white underbelly. The yellow star emblem it had as a Carvanha has migrated to its snout. Sharpedo has a tall dorsal fin, 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.

Trivia

Origin

Sharpedo is based on a shark.

Name origin

Sharpedo's name is a combination of the words shark and torpedo. 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.
