Mega Sharpedo
Get your full Mega Sharpedo raid counters here first and prepare! Mega Sharpedo is weak to Electric Grass Fighting Bug and Fairy types, giving you a real variety in potential counters.
A Mega Sharpedo obtained from Raids can be encountered from 1786 CP to 1870 CP (100IV), or if weather boosted, in the 2233 CP to 2338 CP (100IV) range.
Regular and Shiny Comparison
Like all Mega Raid Bosses, you can catch the shiny version of Sharpedo from a raid, and also in the wild potentially, if you can find it! It is a really fantastic bright purple colour and a great addition to any shiny hunters collection.
