Strategy Overview

Sharpedo is a devastating late-game cleaner in RU due to its fantastic mixed offensive stats and great ability in Speed Boost, which makes it nearly impossible to revenge kill after a few turns. Sharpedo can run either a specially-based mixed or physical set, which makes counterplay much more difficult. However, Sharpedo has awful defensive stats and bad defensive typing, meaning it depends heavily on team support and KOing foes in one hit to avoid being defeated in return. Even though many checks are dependent on its set, both sets still struggle against bulky Water-types, various offensive threats, and strong priority users.
