PVE Offensive Moves Explanation

• Waterfall should be paired with Hydro Pump for taking on Ground, Fire, and Rock-type Pokemon. This is Shadow Sharpedo’s most useful moveset.

• Bite should be paired with Crunch for countering Psychic and Ghost-type Pokemon.

• Poison Fang has no use on an offensive Shadow Sharpedo.

PVE Defensive Moves Explanation

• Waterfall is clearly superior to Bite, having a significantly higher base damage.

• Crunch is slightly better than Poison Fang on defense, having better damage and coverage at the expense of a later damage window.

• Hydro Pump will pack a surprise, but with Shadow Sharpedo’s non-existent bulk it will never get the chance to fire.

PvP Moveset Explanation

Waterfall + Crunch and Poison Fang

Waterfall’s (4 DPT/2.66 EPT) relatively low energy gain mixed with Sharpedo’s incredibly low bulk means you’re not likely to be firing off Hydro Pump (130 power, 75 energy). As such, Crunch (70 power, 45 energy) and Poison Fang (40 power, 35 energy) are the two cheap charged moves of choice. Bite (4 DPT/2 EPT) is potentially a usable option, but it's inferior most of the time.
