Objectives | Defeat 20 Sharpedo and a Mega Sharpedo on the sea floor of Route 17 |
Reward | Item: Sharpedonite |
If you’ve captured the Terror Granbull in Route 10 and tracked down the missing Electivire, after you’re Pokemon Champion you can speak to a policeman in front of the Seaport City Pokémon Center.
He’ll give you a mission to defeat a pack of Sharpedo underwater in Route 17, and for your trouble he’ll reward you with a Sharpedonite.
Starting the Mission

Once you’ve become Pokémon Champion, fly to Seaport City.
If you’ve helped out the Policeman to catch the Terror Granbull in Route 10, as well as found the missing Electivire, the Policeman will be out in front of the Pokémon Center to give you another mission.

You’ll be directed to go to the sea floor of Route 17, and to do that you’ll need to get the ADM from Seaport Shipyard if you haven’t already.
How to Complete

Go west out of Seaport City and you’ll be on Route 17 and just keep going West.

Make your way through the long grass and then turn south when you see the stairs west to the beach.

Then go towards the west when you run out of island, and you’ll come to some long grass in front of a bridge leading north.

Go through the grass and across the bridge and you’ll end up on the other island.

Once you’re there, go up the stairs and head west past the Pokémon Ranger and the Berry picker trapped behind a boulder.

When you see stairs leading south, take them down and walk to the southwest corner of the island.

You’ll see a rock wall here you can climb down to the beach.

Go down it and you’ll see a deep patch of water just off the shore. With the ADM, you’ll be able to dive underneath to the depths of Route 17.
Sharpedo #1-2
When you arrive on the sea floor, head east into the tunnel entrance.

You’ll immediately get seen by the first of 20 Sharpedo you need to defeat in this area.

It’s a tough challenge, especially considering they increase a random stat whenever you encounter them.

The second Sharpedo is to the east of the first one.
Sharpedo #3-5

When they’re both defeated, go through the cave entrance just north of the one you exited.

There are two Sharpedo here swimming right by the entrance.

The fifth Sharpedo is swimming in a constant circle around the center of the room, and he can be easily taken care of.
Sharpedo #6-7

Head back to the entrance you came through and back to the tunnel where the first and second Sharpedo were.

This time, go east to the end of the passage and you’ll see another entrance.

You’ll see the sixth and seventh Sharpedo swimming around the tunnel here.
Sharpedo #8

When they’re finished, take the east entrance out of this passage into another one.

You’ll see the next Sharpedo as soon as you come through the tunnel.
Sharpedo #9

Then, go east through the tunnel entrance there.

The ninth Sharpedo will be waiting for you here.
Sharpedo #10-16

After that, follow the tunnel along until it turns north and leads into another cavern.

The tenth Sharpedo is near where you arrive.
From there, go west.

You’ll soon see two Sharpedo swimming around in this part of the cavern.
Patrol this area a bit more and you’ll spot others.

There will be three more swimming around here somewhere, and when you’ve got all six in this area it’s time to move on.
Sharpedo #17-18
Go south to the opening of a small alcove.

Enter it and you’ll see that there are two Sharpedo teaming up together here.

You’ll need to defeat them in a Double Battle.
Sharpedo #19
Head back to the open cavern area and find the northwest tunnel.

Go through it and keep heading west until you see another tunnel entrance in front of you – head through that one as well.

You’ll see the penultimate Sharpedo along this passage.

When it’s defeated, continue along to find the last one, through a southern tunnel.
Sharpedo #20

Take down the last Sharpedo, and you’re in for a bit of a surprise.
Dynamax Mega Sharpedo

As soon as all twenty Sharpedo are defeated, you’ll see a shadow approaching you – the last predator in the trench.

It’s a Dynamax Mega Sharpedo, and it’s pretty tough. It scales to your level and has a lot of moves to really ruin any type matchup you may have.

Now that you’ve taken care of all those Sharpedo, return to the Policeman in Seaport City and he’ll give you the Sharpedonite as a reward.
