Mega Sharpedo is a solid but not elite Water-type attacker, sitting at Tier B (#14) in raid performance. With a max CP of 3,701 and base stats of 289/144/172, it can fill a role on your team if you lack stronger Water-type counters. The best moveset is Waterfall paired with Hydro Pump. Consider investing if you need a Water-type attacker now, but hold off on XL Candy investment as better alternatives exist. A useful stepping stone rather than an endgame pick.
