'''Carvanha''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キバニア''' ''Kibanha'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].
'''Carvanha''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キバニア''' ''Kibanha'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Dark}} Pokémon.


It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Sharpedo}} starting at [[level]] 30.

==Biology==
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Carvanha is a fish {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a body covered in tiny, sharp {{wp|denticle}}s. The top half of its spherical body is blue, while the bottom half is red with a yellow, four-pointed star below its mouth. It has two yellow {{wp|dorsal fins}} above its eyes that resemble shark fins, and a matching {{wp|Fish anatomy#fins|pelvic fin}} on its belly. Its pectoral fins are also yellow. The caudal fin is composed of two red spines with a thin yellow membrane stretched between them.
Carvanha has a round body covered in tiny, sharp {{wp|denticle}}s which create hydrodynamic advantages by reducing turbulence when swimming, as well as provide protection against physical attacks. The top half of Carvanha's spherical body is blue, while the bottom half is red, with a yellow star-shaped emblem below its mouth. Carvanha has two yellow {{wp|dorsal fin}}s above its eyes that resemble shark fins, and a matching {{wp|Fish anatomy#fins|pelvic fin}} on its belly. Its pectoral fins are also yellow. The caudal fin is composed of two red spines with a thin yellow membrane stretched between them.
====Gender differences====
None.


====Special abilities====
It has powerful jaws and razor-sharp teeth that are able to chew through solid steel, rip up boat hulls, and rip wooden boats to pieces. As a result, sailors avoid getting their boats dented by it at all costs. Carvanha has been responsible for the destruction of many boats that come into contact with it. They mercilessly swarm any intruder and prey that invades their territory, but they become timid when alone. It only attacks when in a group of five or more, becoming instantly vicious. Carvanha is drawn towards the scent of blood. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|rivers that course through jungles}}, as well as temperate regions. Each Carvanha school has its own territory. It competes with {{p|Basculin}} for food.
Carvanha have jaws that are powerful enough to tear through a boat hull. Its aforementioned {{a|Rough Skin}} causes contact that feels like getting scrapped by sandpaper. Carvanha is also an exceptionally fast swimmer. It is also capable of using Special-based moves like {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Dark Pulse}}, {{m|Ice Beam}}, and {{M|AncientPower}}; but Carvanha doesn't excel at those abilities.


===Behavior===
Prior to [[Generation V]], Carvanha and its evolved form, {{p|Sharpedo}}, were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Rough Skin}} as an [[Ability]].
This Pokémon is a pack hunter, just like real piranhas. Swarms of this Pokémon will attack virtually anything in the water with unmatched ferocity. Without the strength of numbers, however, this Pokémon becomes cowardly and shy.


===Habitat===
===Evolution===
[[Image:Sea.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Sea Pokémon|Sea Pokémon]]]]
Carvanha evolves into {{p|Sharpedo}}.
This Pokémon lives in warm rivers with other Carvanha and where food is plentiful.


===Diet===
(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]].)

Carvanha will eat practically any creature that they can sink their teeth into.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Carvanha is commonly used by [[Team Aqua]].
* Carvanha has the lowest base {{stat|Defense}} stat of all {{type|Dark}} Pokémon, and is tied with {{p|Feebas}} and {{form|Wishiwashi|Solo Form}} {{p|Wishiwashi}} for the lowest base Defense stat of all {{type|Water}} Pokémon.
** Carvanha is also tied with {{p|Caterpie}}, {{p|Weedle}}, {{p|Magikarp}}, {{p|Igglybuff}}, {{form|Deoxys|Attack Forme}} {{p|Deoxys}}, and {{p|Stonjourner}} for the lowest base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat of all Pokémon.
* Carvanha's evolutionary line may be considered a counterpart of {{p|Numel}}'s evolutionary line. Both of them are dual-type Pokémon, both lines have identical base stat totals per evolutionary stage, both of their final evolutions are used by [[Team Aqua]] Leader [[Archie]] and [[Team Magma]] Leader [[Maxie]], respectively, and both of their final evolutions can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]].
 
===Origin===
===Origin===
Carvanha is based on {{wp|piranha}}s.
Carvanha appears to be based on a {{wp|piranha}}, with its red underside particularly bringing to mind the {{wp|red-bellied piranha}}. The star on its underside may allude to sharks like {{wp|starspotted smooth-hound}} or {{wp|starry smooth-hound}}.
