Mega Sharpedo's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Mega Sharpedo PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Mega Sharpedo may have an impressive ATK stat but it's quite outclassed in Water-type DPS, even by regular Origin Pulse Kyogre. As a Dark type, things are worse as even Mega Salamence with non-STAB Dark moves surpasses it.

Sadly, Mega Sharpedo is just one of those bad Megas in Pokémon GO.

⚔️ Raids

For Water-type offense, Primal Kyogre, Mega Swampert, and Mega Blastoise are all better. And for Dark types, even Hydreigon and Tyranitar are better.

To put it into perspective, Mega Sharpedo is outclassed by fellow Water/Dark Pokémon Mega Gyarados, which itself isn't too meta relevant now.

💎 The best PvE moves for Mega Sharpedo are: Waterfall and Hydro Pump (Water) Bite and Crunch (Dark)

Mega Sharpedo PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Mega Evolutions aren't typically allowed in the GO Battle League but even in limited metas like the Mega Master League, Mega Sharpedo isn't good enough to make an impact. Use Mega Gyarados instead, which is a genuinely good Mega for PvP.
