Sharpedo (#319)
NU Tier

Art:
Exactly like the pun, Shark + Torpedo. I like the style of this pokemon, aiming for a dark water type, exactly what I'd think of. But it BUGS me that it evolves from a Piranha to a Shark. #__#;
7.5/10

Casual:
Sharpedo is one of those pokemon that has an decent spread of moves, but nothing to cover it's weaknesses. (Ok, ice fang on grass) Often found a bit later in the games, most people have already settled on a surfer for them. Sharpedo barely has any defenses, but it has great attack stats.
6/10

Competitive:
Not much to say about Sharpedo, in the NU tier, it can often OHKO anything non-resistant. (Typically) Just pray you don't get killed by a stray attack, low defenses mean you go squish.

Leafeon starts off STRONG at 8.0, with only 2 votes. Let's see where it will go when it gets more votes.
Solrock takes Shuckle's position going up 0.1.

In NU, Sharpedo's a great wall-buster, especially with Choice sets. It's one of the premier mixed attackers of the tier, able to specialize if it pleases and be mixed if it wants to be. It's got the defenses of a wet paper bag, but hey, Sharpedo shouldn't be getting hit, anyway.

It's got great offenses, and as long as you know what you're doing, it's a wonderful revenge killer and wall breaker. It's flexible, has access to Zen Headbutt to get rid of its Fighting weakness, access to all HP types to take care of its other weaknesses (HP Ground for Electrics, HP Fire for Bugs, etc.), and with base 95 Speed to boot. Sharpedo's Rough Skin is a nice touch, allowing you to break Substitutes and take out Focus Sash users that think they're in the clear.

Aqua Jet is a nice priority Attack with STAB to give the shark even more access to your HP, while its great Speed assures that you'll get the jump on most of the NU and UU tier.

Choice Band assures that you'll be doing some massive damage, while Choice Scarf lets you get a jump on the likes of Persian, Scarfed Nido sets, and Scarfed Magnetons that think they can switch in without any problems.

All in all, a great and underrated Pokémon. :3
