Quick facts

About Mega Sharpedo

Mega Sharpedo (Water/Dark) is a glassy, hard-hitting Mega form that excels at single-target damage with strong STABs and boosted Speed/Attack in some formats. It hits hard but is relatively frail — exploit its weaknesses to Electric, Fighting, and Fairy to take it down quickly.

If Mega Sharpedo opens with Aqua Jet or Hydro Pump, swap to an Electric or Fairy attacker to avoid heavy damage and finish the boss quickly.

When to avoid

Avoid using fragile Water or Ice attackers—they'll often be outpaced by Sharpedo's high damage. Also be cautious with Ghost types if Sharpedo runs Crunch.

Team size & strategy

2-3 high level trainers with top counters.4-5 casual trainers are required. Lead with a weather-boosted Electric or top Fighting attacker. Save shields for key moments if Sharpedo uses Hydro Pump or Crunch. After winning, use Golden Razz and aim for curve + Excellent throws to maximize catch chance.
