Carvanha (Japanese: キバニア Kibanha) is a dual-type Water/Dark Pokémon.

It evolves into Sharpedo starting at level 30.

Biology

Physiology

Carvanha has a round body covered in tiny, sharp denticles which create hydrodynamic advantages by reducing turbulence when swimming, as well as provide protection against physical attacks. The top half of Carvanha's spherical body is blue, while the bottom half is red, with a yellow star-shaped emblem below its mouth. Carvanha has two yellow dorsal fins above its eyes that resemble shark fins, and a matching pelvic fin on its belly. Its pectoral fins are also yellow. The caudal fin is composed of two red spines with a thin yellow membrane stretched between them.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Carvanha have jaws that are powerful enough to tear through a boat hull. Its aforementioned Rough Skin causes contact that feels like getting scrapped by sandpaper. Carvanha is also an exceptionally fast swimmer. It is also capable of using Special-based moves like Surf, Dark Pulse, Ice Beam, and AncientPower; but Carvanha doesn't excel at those abilities.

Behavior

This Pokémon is a pack hunter, just like real piranhas. Swarms of this Pokémon will attack virtually anything in the water with unmatched ferocity. Without the strength of numbers, however, this Pokémon becomes cowardly and shy.

Habitat

This Pokémon lives in warm rivers with other Carvanha and where food is plentiful.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

Carvanha will eat practically any creature that they can sink their teeth into.

In the anime

A school of Carvanha attack Ash Ketchum

Carvanha first appeared in A Corphish Out of Water. When Ash had to take his sick Corphish to a Pokémon Center, he had to cross a river that was infested with Carvanha.

Over the series, Carvanha was one of the Pokémon used by Team Aqua.

A Carvanha appeared in Up Close and Personable!.
