Sharpedo
is sharpedo worth it in competitive battling
anyway can someone help me with natures and movesets for this poke Thanks oh and item and evs as well |
>:O I hate you. How dare you talk about Sharpedo that way. >:O (cuz I wuv it 8D)
Sharpedo is very useful when equipped with Choice Band. Sharpedo, though, is a Sweeping pokemon so its Defense stats and Weaknesses are irrelevent. |

Not sure about EV's myself but a moveset would be:
Waterfall Crunch (both taking advantage of Sharpedo's attack & type) Protect? (maybe help it last a little longer) Swagger (help keep opponents on their toes, although risky if your opponent is lucky enough to snap out of the confusion quick enough) For 4th Gen, try Aqua Jet. Not to strong, but kinda guarantees the first hit. Combine this with a Choice Band and you may be able to knock a weakened (or water-weak) opponent out in the first go. EDIT! - Ice Fang would be a good move for Sharpedo to attack any grass types that may come up against it: Second moveset: Earthquake (mashes lightning badly) Ice Fang (attack against grass types) Crunch ( pretty decent attack, makes use of Sharpedo's types) Waterfall/Aqua Jet (like crunch, but Aqua Jet IS faster) But they are right. Sharpedo is...not exactly competetive standard. If you want Sweepers, go with something like Infernape or Gengar. Hope this helps! |
The Best Pokemon in the World: Sharpedo @ Choice Band
Trait: Rough Skin Nature: Jolly EVs: 252 Attack / 252 Speed / 4 HP - Waterfall - Ice Fang - Earthquake - Night Slash / Crunch Earthquake and Ice Fang already offer fantastic type coverage. Waterfall and the Dark Move is for raw power and STAB |
You're gonna want at least 3 attacking moves on it. And Sharpedo does have potential. Here's what happened at the Battle Tower (Single Battle):
I had an Electivire and a Magmortar. They had a Sharpedo. Their Sharpedo OHKOed my Electivire with EQ. Then, I sent out Magmortar. Sharpedo used Surf (big mistake, should have gone with EQ again). My Magmortar was in the Red Zone. This shows you how powerful Sharpedo is, but there's more. Sharpedo's Defenses are TERRIBLE; my Magmortar used Thunderbolt and somehow OHKOed the Sharpedo. So if you're gonna run a Sharpedo, give it Focus Sash. |
go with this...
[email protected] Scarf Ability:Rough Skin Nature:Adamant EVs:252 Speed, 252 Attack, 6 HP -Waterfall/Aqua Jet -Crunch -Earthquake -Poison Jab/Ice Fang With a max speed of 289 with neutral nature is pretty fast and with choice scarf im sure you'll outrun many pokes(kind of like Choice Scarf Heracross).And with a max attack of 372 it will deal some MAJOR damage.Waterfall for STAB and also for Crunch.EQ will take care of Electric pokes and your choice between Poison Jab and Ice Fang. Hey I kind of like this and i might try this out...first time making a set for sharpedo. |
I'm not going to lie, Sharpedo is pretty sexy in 4th Gen, even for a UU Specimen.
Sharpedo @ Choice Scarf Ability: Rough Skin EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Earthquake - Waterfall - Crunch - Ice Fang With as much attack as he has, he'd probably make common OU Sweepers look like wussies. |
everyone has the same ideas over the moveset but what about the natures
|
Iceman has probably named the best Nature, Adamant, boosting it's attack. =]
|
I'm going to ask a stupid question: Why is Sharpedo a UU? It seems far too strong for OU.

What is wrong with the Focus Sash option? It gives it an ok durability, and has certainly helped me once or twice. With correct prediction of course. Although Focus Sash Sharpedo is rather easy to kill, if you find something faster (Looks directly at his lovely Yanmega), then it is screwed...:)

Choice Scarf = Adamant
Choice Band = Jolly |

OK, I just checked Sharpedo's Stats......even ALAKAZAM's Def is higher! Wow......Sharpedo seems good....if it can survive (which, unless used with a cunning trainer, will). Wow...its Defenses are both at 40...terrible...
|
/facepalm
Really, look now, does defense really matter for a sweeper? Do you look for attack on a wall? No, so why defense on a sweeper. Sure it's frail, but is a complete monster if used in the right hands. |
Once again, Sharpedo's Defenses DO NOT Matter.
Neither Sharpedo nor Alakazam will last to take a hit. They were both made for sweeping. Sweeping pokemon don't need good defenses to work. Weavile for example - Defenses are horrible but still very useful in battle. EDIT: Flamehaze beat me to it D: |

Sharpedo is OHKO'd even WITHOUT SR/Spikes. Why does it matter? Its not taking hits.

Still not necessary when Scarffed. It outspeeds the majority of pokes that way.
If your only arguement is "ZOMG, IT HAZ LEIK, 40 DEF! EVEN THOUGH ITS A SWEEPER, & IT DOOZEN'T NEED IT!" then its not saying much at all. As said, who cares if it has 40 DEF. He's a sweeper. They need no DEF. Weavile, Alakazam, Gengar, Aedactlyl, etc...their are many sweepers that have poor defence. Or Sp.Def for Aero. Even if its higher than Sharpedo, they ALL fall with one hit. |
sharpedo is awesome. i made a whole team built around IT.
Sharpedo @ Choice Scarf Naughty Nature (+Atk, -Sp Def) 224 ATK/180 SPD/104 DEF Ability: Rough Skin -Waterfall -Crunch -Earthquake -Ice Beam the defense evs are so that it survives hits from focus sash weavile and the like, and allows them to die because Rough Skin. Ice Beam is for dragons + low sp defense pokes. |
