Is Sharpedo 36 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 120 damage attack that needs 2 Energy and one that needs two are different cards. Dividing one by the other puts every attack on the same scale.

What does being a Water card do for Sharpedo 36?

Type decides two things at once — which cards take double damage from this one, and which cards deal double to it. Both are read from the weakness printed on each group, not from a rule of thumb.

Of the 635 cards in the archive that can remove Sharpedo 36 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 60 printed damage against a bar of 60. Anything printed higher removes it just as surely, so this is where the line actually sits, and this print is legal in Standard play today.

What is Sharpedo as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?

Sharpedo 36 is one print of Sharpedo. The figures below are about the Pokémon rather than this single card — how many times it has been printed, how tough those prints run, and how many of them can still be played.

What has to be in play before Sharpedo 36 can be?

Sharpedo evolves from Carvanha, so the whole line has to be built before this card reaches the field.

Carvanha → Sharpedo

This card cannot be played from your hand onto an empty spot — it goes on top of Carvanha.
The line runs 2 stages, so the first card has to be in play 1 turn before this one can be.
Every print in the line shares Pokédex number 319.

Bars are the highest HP ever printed on that stage, measured against the top of this line (120 HP). The note beside each bar is the hardest attack printed at that stage.

Every print of a stage is counted, not just the one shown in the chain above, so the bar is the ceiling that stage has reached rather than one card from it.

Is this the strongest Sharpedo print, and can the older ones still be played?

29 prints carry this name in the archive, and 24 of them are laid out below. They share a Pokémon but not a card — printed HP, printed damage and tournament legality all move from one print to the next.

Bar height and the number above each bar = highest HP that year; the two digits below = the year.

Rows run from the toughest print down. Bars are printed HP, measured against the toughest print of this name shown here (330 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

8,194 cards in the archive carry a regulation mark. Older prints carry none at all, so this is not the whole archive.

The regulation mark is the single letter recorded with each modern card. Older prints carry no mark at all, so this axis covers only the part of the archive that has one.

Sharpedo 36 in depth — what these figures add up to

Three readings of the same card, side by side: what it costs to get going, where it sits among the cards it will be compared with, and what takes it off the field.

What it asks a deck for

Its hardest attack, Jet Bite, needs 2 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 2 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 60 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs 1 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
It cannot start the game in play — Carvanha has to be on the field first.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

Every card in the archiveNo. 4,897 of 17,290

Water cardsNo. 656 of 2,435

Stage 1 cardsNo. 1,051 of 5,102

Evolving SkiesNo. 106 of 193

What actually removes it

A Lightning attack printed at 60 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 120 HP.
639 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 1,605 cards in one attack.

Sharpedo 36 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Sharpedo 36?

Sharpedo 36 has 120 HP and a Lightning weakness at ×2, so a Lightning attack printed at 60 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 120.

What is the strongest attack on Sharpedo 36?

Jet Bite, printed at 120 damage for 2 Energy — 60 damage per Energy card. During your next turn, this Pokémon can't attack.

What is the retreat cost of Sharpedo 36?

1 Energy, discarded from this card to move it out of the active spot. Retreating is allowed once per turn.

Can an older Sharpedo print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 24 prints listed on this page, 5 are legal in Standard play. The rest can still be played in formats that accept them, and the table on this page names the regulation mark each print carries.

What does Sharpedo evolve from?

Carvanha. It cannot be played straight from your hand onto an empty spot — the earlier stage has to be in play first.

Can Sharpedo 36 be played in a tournament?

It is legal in Unlimited and Expanded play, and it carries regulation mark E. Standard events run on a rotating list of sets, so check the current rotation before entering one.

Does this page say how good Sharpedo 36 is in a deck?

No. Every figure here is read from the printed card. Deck lists, tournament results and win rates are not published on this site, because the card files it reads do not contain them.
