Sharpedo

() is a /-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III. It is Camerupt's counterpart.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Sharpedo seems to be based upon a shark. It has dark cyan blue color on top with a yellow star and two grooves on its top fin and white with a single groove on the bottom. Two black rectangular gills on each side with black, red and white eyes and teeth.
As it Mega Evolves, it increases in length but its color doesn't change much except that its star mark gets smaller and yellow striped markings appear all over its body along with an extra pair and bigger fins.
===Behavior===
Sharpedo are known to be smart, and are independent. It's unusual for them to group together. They use their extremely powerful teeth for hunting prey.
Throughout the vast oceans of the world, there are no aquatic Pokémon feared more than Sharpedo. Nicknamed the “bullies of the sea” (also “gangsters,” “bandits,” or “ruffians”), Sharpedo are notorious for attacking boats, submarines, and even divers who dare venture into their territories. Their skin is unique in texture; rubbing in the direction of rear to mouth, it feels as rough as sandpaper and can cut skin simply by brushing past. In the opposite direction, though, it is as smooth as steel. This quality along with their hydrodynamic body shape allows them to reach speeds of up to 75 mph (120 km/h) by jetting water through their bodies. Though they can only do this for short periods of time, it is more than enough to ram holes into boats or slam into larger prey. They are also infamous for boldly hunting down Wailmer.
When a Sharpedo Mega Evolves, its beastly instincts are further highlighted through its barbaric and cruel bashes and shooting spikes that can propel it forward in a blast and subsequently inflicting immensely agonizing damages onto its foes. However, it is also known that many Sharpedo in this form are actually in pain due to the overflowing energy of Mega Evolution.
===Natural abilities===
Their jaws are strong enough to rip apart sheet metal and oil tankers. When their teeth fall off, new ones will sprout up almost immediately in their place. 
As mentioned, part of their skin is unique that it is as rough as sandpaper while another part of the opposite direction is smooth as steel, helping them jet water though their bodies and reaching traveling speeds of up to 75 mph (120 km/h).
A Mega Sharpedo can further travel at the speed of over 200 kilometers.
==Evolution==
Sharpedo is the evolved form of Carvanha. Carvanha evolves into Sharpedo once level 30 is reached. It can further evolve into Mega Sharpedo using its Mega Stone.

*Sharpedo could not learn any Water type moves naturally in Generation III and only Aqua Jet starting in Generation IV.
*Carvanha's star on its chest is now on Sharpedo's forehead.
*Even though its body is based on a shark, it seems to not have a tail.
*It shares species with Hydreigon, as both are known as the Brutal Pokémon.
*Due to a censor that prevents Pokémon with offensive names to be traded on the GTS. You wouldn't be able to trade an English-language Sharpedo (with no nickname) on the GTS
===Origin===
Sharpedo is based on a shark, specifically on one of the more typical-looking ones like a great white or a tiger shark. Its lack of a tail may derive from the ocean sunfish, and, as the name implies, it may be based on a torpedo. Its Moon Pokédex entry references the real-world practice of shark finning, a practice threatening many shark species today.
Mega Sharpedo may also be based on a sawfish or saw shark.
===Etymology===
Sharpedo's name derives from "shark," "sharp," and "torpedo", for its missile-like shape, aquatic nature, and speed.
Samehadā comes from 鮫 (same, "shark" in Japanese) and 肌荒れ (hadāre, "rough skin" in Japanese).
