This aggressive fish is known for its razor-sharp teeth and its insatiable appetite, often traveling in schools to overwhelm prey. Its Pokédex entries consistently highlight its dangerous nature, with some describing it as capable of tearing through steel. Carvanha evolves into the even more formidable Sharpedo when it reaches Level 30. In the games, it's typically found in rivers and oceans, posing a threat to unsuspecting trainers. Its design, reminiscent of a piranha, emphasizes its predatory instincts. In the anime, Carvanha often appears as a wild, territorial Pokémon, showcasing its ferocity in aquatic environments. Its evolution, Sharpedo, has gained considerable popularity, especially with its Mega Evolution, further cementing Carvanha's place in the Pokémon lineage. The species represents the dangerous side of aquatic life in the Pokémon world, a stark contrast to many of the more docile Water-types.
