Sharpedo (Japanese: サメハダー Samehader) is a dual-type Water/Dark pokémon introduced in Generation III.

Sharpedo can Mega Evolve into Mega Sharpedo using the Sharpedonite. Mega Sharpedo was introduced in pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
Sharpedo is a torpedo-shaped shark pokémon covered with tiny, sharp denticles. It has a large mouth filled with triangular, sharp teeth. Its eyes are a deep red color and glow in the dark. It has two gill slits situated directly behind each eye. It is mostly dark blue with a white underbelly. There is a yellow star-shaped scar on its snout, and another star-shaped scar on its rear. It has a tall dorsal fin with two notches cut into it, with a pelvic fin directly opposite it. Its two pectoral fins are arranged so that they resemble the fins on the back of a torpedo.
Sharpedo swallows and shoots out jets of seawater from its rear, which allows it to swim 75 to 80 miles per hour. However, it is unable to swim long distances. It is feared and known by many names as Bully of the Sea, Ruffian of the Seas, Bandit of the Sea, or Gangster of the Sea as a group, due to its sharp teeth. Sharpedo uses the teeth to finish off its opponent. It was once prized for its dorsal fin as a food item and has been a victim of overfishing. Its fangs can easily rip through steel, being able to tear apart a supertanker into pieces. Sharpedo's fangs can instantly grow back the moment they fall out. Discarded Sharpedo fangs are made into accessories due to the belief they can prevent ship mishaps. It also indiscriminately attacks any ships that enter the waters it resides in. It is very sensitive to the scent of blood. It lives in the sea. Sharpedo is known to prey on Wailmer, particularly small ones. It also preys on other Water-type pokémon such as Finneon, Lumineon, Lanturn, and Squirtle. In Alola, Sharpedo is used as Ride pokémon called Sharpedo Jet, the natives use Sharpedo to move faster in the water and destroy rocks in the water.
Prior to Generation V, Sharpedo and its pre-evolved form, Carvanha, were the only known pokémon that could have Rough Skin as an Ability.
