Sharpedo is a monstrous glass cannon, with excellent offenses and the coveted Speed Boost ability, but nearly nonexistant bulk. Mega Sharpedo amps up its power and patches up its defenses, making Sharpedo an even better late-game sweeper. With a base 140 Attack and an STAB move boosted by Strong Jaw, Mega Sharpedo hits overwhelmingly hard, and accumulated Speed Boosts can make it tricky to stop. However, Mega Sharpedo's abysmal defenses mean that it must bring down its foe as quickly as possible, so it has trouble with bulky Pokemon that can take a hit and retaliate. Mega Sharpedo also cannot afford to move second, so it hates faster Pokemon and those with priority attacks, particularly Mach Punch and Vacuum Wave. | |||
Protect is pretty much mandatory for Sharpedo, as it lets it get off at least one Speed Boost before Mega Evolving, and Mega Sharpedo needs all the speed it can get. Crunch is Mega Sharpedo's main STAB move, being very powerful when boosted by Strong Jaw. Waterfall covers most Pokemon that resist Crunch, and has a useful flinch chance. Mega Sharpedo can also make use of its good Special Attack stat with Hydro Pump to bypass physical walls instead. Aqua Jet is useful against revenge killers, but it's usually inadvisable to sweep with Sharpedo before all faster Pokemon are down anyway. Ice Fang deals respectable damage with Strong Jaw and gives Sharpedo useful coverage, particularly against Grass and Dragon types. Poison Jab is effective against Grass-types as well, but also targets Fairies. | |||
