Base Stats
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.
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.
Sharpedo Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Guide
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Strong Jaw changes the entire equation for Sharpedo. The 560 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked B-Tier as a sweeper. Waterfall with Focus Sash is the standard set.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Sharpedo can Mega Evolve into Mega Sharpedo. That's 660 BST, up from 560. The stat redistribution often changes its best role. Mega Stone required, one per battle.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, watch for Raikou (Electric), Breloom (Grass), and Machamp (Fighting) when using Sharpedo. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Bug and Fairy-type attackers are also a problem. With 5 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter. Sharpedo's base 105 Speed lets it outpace many threats and strike first, which matters more than trying to tank hits.
Strong Jaw is what you want on Sharpedo. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. With base 105 Speed, Strong Jaw gives Sharpedo an edge before opponents can react.
Base 105 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. On offense, Sharpedo is a physical attacker with base 140 Attack. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as a sweeper.
