Avaliability
Sharpedo is only available in both Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. It will evolve from Carvanha at Level 30, and it is catchable (by fishing with the Super Rod) on routes 103, 118, 122, 124, 125, 126, 127, 128, 129, 130, 131, 132, 133 & 134. Players with either a Pokémon FireRed or LeafGreen version must get Sharpedo through a trade.
Anime appearances
Sharpedo appears in the Pokémon Advance Anime episode "Sharpedo Attack!" in which, on the way to Dewford Town, Ash, May, Max, Brock, and Mr. Briney (who's steering the boat they're all in) decide to stop briefly at an island, only to get besieged by a group of Sharpedo. It's only after they save the leader Sharpedo from Team Rocket's harm that the group of Sharpedo allow them to leave and continue en route to Dewford Town.
Pokédex descriptions
- 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.
- Sapphire: Sharpedo can swim at speeds of up to 120 km/h (75 mph) by jetting seawater out of its backside. This Pokémon's drawback is its inability to swim long distances.
- LeafGreen: The ruffian of the seas, it has fangs that crunch through iron. It swims by jetting water from its rear.
