CARDEX BACKGROUND

About the species

Sharpedo propels itself by expelling seawater and can reach impressive speed when it spots prey. Its teeth regrow when broken, renewing a weapon used by this marine predator. Yet this acceleration has a limit: it cannot sustain it over a long distance. The Pokédex also mentions past hunting for its fin. Behind its nickname, the “Bully of the Sea”, this predator therefore has brief power and a difficult history with humans.

This account describes the species in the video games. It does not describe its Trainer’s history or that of this copy, and does not identify the depicted form or sex.

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon Alpha Sapphire states that Sharpedo can exceed 120 km/h but cannot maintain that pace over a long distance. Pokémon Ultra Sun adds that its teeth are used to make accessories believed to protect against accidents at sea. Its reputation mixes real speed with human beliefs.
