Nicknamed "the bully of the sea," Sharpedo is widely feared. Its cruel fangs grow back immediately if they snap off. Just one of these Pokémon can thoroughly tear apart a supertanker.

Trivia

The Italian-language and German-language print says to put only 1 damage counter on the attacking Pokémon when Rough Skin is used. Rulings state to play the Italian and German card as if it said 2 damage counters, citing "it didn't get weaker as it swam the Atlantic".

Origin

Rough Skin is an Ability in the Pokémon games that Sharpedo can have. This card's e-Reader Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Ruby.
