Flavor Text |
 | Sun | It pursues its prey at speeds of 75 mph and finishes them off with fangs that can crush iron. It is known as the bully of the sea. |
Moon | It has a sad history. In the past, its dorsal fin was a treasured foodstuff, so this Pokémon became a victim of overfishing. | Ultra Sun | People believe that carrying one of its discarded fangs will prevent mishaps at sea, so the fangs are made into accessories. | Ultra Moon | It drinks in seawater and jets it from its rear to propel itself. It’s very sensitive to the scent of blood. |  | Sun | The spines sprouting from its head are transformed fangs. If they’re injured or broken off, the spines will regenerate countless times. |
Moon | As a consequence of Mega Evolution, its combative instincts exploded. The yellow marks it bears are scars from a long history of battles. | Ultra Sun | The yellow patterns it bears are old scars. The energy from Mega Evolution runs through them, causing it sharp pain and suffering. | Ultra Moon | The moment it charges into its opponent, sharp spikes pop out of Sharpedo’s head, leaving its opponent with deep wounds. |
