Sharpedo bares its teeth and turns Mega in Pokémon GO.
Arguably speaking, Sharpedo had one of the best designs of all the Water types introduced in Gen 3. In Pokémon GO, its Mega form finally enters the scene for a September 2025 Raid Day.
Bearing the moniker “The Bully of the Sea,” this Shark Pokémon can reach speeds of up to 75 mph, although it can only maintain them in short bursts. However, anyone or anything unfortunate enough to find their way to Sharpedo’s mouth will feel the true power of its bite, with fangs that can rip through sheet iron.
After Mega Evolving, Mega Sharpedo becomes even more fearsome and dangerous, with its Attack standing as its highest stat in Pokémon GO. Despite the presence of other strong Water-type Mega Pokémon in the game, Mega Sharpedo remains a promising Pokémon that players can use in raids and PVP.
Check out our Mega Sharpedo raid guide to learn how you can take advantage of its weaknesses and build the best team against it during its raid day.
