Lets take a little look at Sharpedo...
At max stats...
Hp:334
Attack:339
Defence:179
SplAttack:289
SpDefence:179
Speed:289
Ability: Rough Skin
Rough Skin works like a super lousy Aftermath; almost anyhit will kill Sharpedo and they only get 1/16 if their health damaged compared to 1/4 damage dealt of Aftermath. Only works on Phy Attacks. Useless shit ability.
Not sure where this guy fits in but he sure looks good for UU and Standard gaming.
Wicked attack combined with Phy STAB and nice SpAtt and Speed makes him a Sweeper but the defence is shit
Attack (Worthwhile Attacks, STAB in bold)
Ice Fang
Aqua Jet
Crunch
Night Slash
Frustration
Thief
Poison Jab
Earthquake
Waterfall
SpAttack (Worthwhile Attacks, STAB in bold)
Hidden Power
Ice Beam
Brine
Dark Pulse
Surf
Support Moves
-Protect
-Captivate
-Attract
Well lets just forget about using Sharpedo for support. NO DEFENCE to waste a turn to setup.
From all the moves it has, you can see that its mainly a Phy sweeper. It doesnt even learn a single SpAtt. However Sharpedo does have enough SpAtt for a possible sweep if using ChoiceSpecs.
With its horrible Def and SpDef stats it seriously cannot risk support moves to setup. Getting hit before it hits the opponent usually means a OHKO. Taunting your opponent would be the stupidest thing to do O.O
Moves like Payback/Avalanche/SkullBash which requires getting hit first or a turn to set up dont work, you will die before you can even make the attack.

@ChoiceBand/LifeOrb
Max Att, Max Speed
-Waterfall
-Crunch
-PoisonJab
-AquaJet
Works best with a Baton Passer passing Speed and maybe some Attack. Waterfall and Crunch for Physical STAB, Poison Jab to take out Grass Types and AquaJet to finish off faster weakened opponents. 339 Attack with ChoiceBand/LifeOrb should be enough to OHKO any UU-Standard Pokemon that doesnt resist it and doesnt pack Defence/HP EVs. Problems with speedy Lightning Pokemon though... Maybe swap Earthquake for Poison Jab though not needed if you're faster than the Lightning Type.
Its either kill your enemy with a single hit or your enemy kills you.

MaxSpAtt, MaxSpeed
-DarkPulse
-IceBeam
-Surf
-HiddenPower(Ground/ ??? )/Any other shit you want
Dark Pulse or Surf for main Stabbing Move. Ice Beam for Grass/Flying/Dragons. Though if you see dragons they usually outspeed you with DD meaning you're dead before you can IceBeam them. Hidden Power Ground for Lightning types. Its hidden power is quite limited as it can already hit quite alot of types for SE. Im quite confused over what to use as the last slot.

MaxHp, MaxSpeed
-Captivate
-Attract
-Waterfall
-Screech/Crunch
Dont know why anyone would bother using this. Try geting a free switch on a Sp Sweeper, Attract and hope Attract works and start Captivating.
Screech 1-2 times hoping Attract works and STAB away with Waterfall. Focus Sash to give you one more turn to Attract and pray that its your lucky day. Dont bother using this, i came up with this just for fun.
On Pinch Berries: dont bother using Pinch Berries like Salacs and stuff... Anything that brings your life down to 1/4 will bring your life down to 0. Wasting an item space.
On Substitute: with its low defence, Substitute will break with a SINGLE attack. No point substituting, does not give you any cover to set up, unless maybe youre trying 101 sub to maybe activate a berry??????
