Collector Insights

Sharpedo is a Darkness-type Pokémon with 90 HP, featuring a Poké-Body ability called Energy Shark. This ability activates if Sharpedo is the Active Pokémon and is damaged by an opponent's attack, prompting a coin flip where heads results in discarding an Energy card from the Attacking Pokémon. Its primary attack, Crunch, costs one Darkness and one Colorless Energy, dealing 20 damage and adding 40 more damage if the attack successfully harms the Defending Pokémon after applying Weakness and Resistance. A second attack, Sharp Fang, requires two Colorless and one Darkness Energy, delivering 60 damage without additional effects. Sharpedo resists Psychic-type attacks by 20 and is weak to Lightning-type attacks by 20. The card is part of the Platinum series, released in the Rising Rivals set on May 16, 2009, with a rarity of Uncommon. It is numbered 49 in the set and corresponds to Pokémon Dex number 319.
