Nicknamed "the bully of the sea," Sharpedo is widely feared. Its cruel fangs grow back immediately if they snap off. Just one of these Pokémon can thoroughly tear apart a supertanker.

Rulings

The Italian-language and German-language prints of this card say to put only 1 damage counter on the attacking Pokémon when Rough Skin is used. Rulings state to play the Italian and German cards as if they said 2 damage counters, citing "it didn't get weaker as it swam the Atlantic".^[1]
