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

Pokédex entries

Pokémon 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.

Pokémon 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.

Pokémon 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.

Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen

The ruffian of the seas, it has fangs that crunch through iron. It swims by jetting water from its rear.

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.

Sharpedo is based on a shark.

In the anime
