Carvanha
The Savage Pokémon
Type: Water/Dark
Official Registration #: 318
Entry: A piranha-like pokémon native to warm, freshwater rivers. Although carvanha is known for its viciousness, it is actually a highly social pokémon among its own kind. When left in the same body of water with carvanha just as vicious as it is, an individual carvanha specimen will school with others, forming groups capable of ripping apart even the bulkiest wailmer. However, on its own, carvanha become docile, shy, and even a little skittish, which some believe is an accurate depiction of most people who spend any amount of time on the internet.Sharpedo
The Brutal Pokémon
Type: Water/Dark
Official Registration #: 319
Entry: The evolved form of carvanha, by battle experience. This shark-like pokémon possesses fangs that can rip through the steel hulls of ships (and grow back if they snap off in their efforts to do so), barbed skin capable of lacerating anything that comes into physical contact with it, powerful fins that can propel it up to 75 miles per hour at prey, and a keen sense of smell that can detect the smallest drop of blood from yards away. With all of this in combination, sharpedo is often nicknamed “the Bully of the Sea,” which is unfortunate because sharpedo is actually a gentle pokémon that only wants affection.Sorry, no, it indiscriminately rips apart anything that enters its watery territory short of anything else that has the audacity to train it.
Mega Sharpedo
The Brutal Pokémon
Type: Water/Dark
Official Registration #: 319+
Entry: The advanced form of sharpedo, via sharpedonite. The yellow markings that criss-cross its body are not, as the Alolan pokédex states, souvenirs from this pokémon’s long history of battles; rather, they’re simply markings that all mega sharpedo have. However, the tidbit about its spikes regenerating as often as its teeth (which is to say, constantly, whenever either are broken off) is completely true, as is the fact about its unusually aggressive temperament. In short, the entire idea that mega sharpedo is a “pointy ocean doggo”? Also not true, regardless of how many times the internet insists otherwise.
