Pokedex Entries
| Game | Entry |
|---|---|
| Ruby | CARVANHA’s strongly developed jaws and its sharply pointed fangs pack the destructive power to rip out boat hulls. Many boats have been attacked and sunk by this POKéMON. |
| Sapphire | If anything invades CARVANHA’s territory, it will swarm and tear at the intruder with its pointed fangs. On its own, however, this POKéMON turns suddenly timid. |
| Emerald | CARVANHA attack ships in swarms, making them sink. Although it is said to be a very vicious POKéMON, it timidly flees as soon as it finds itself alone. |
| X | They form packs to attack boats and rip out their hulls to sink them. They live in rivers in the jungle. |
| Y | It lives in massive rivers that course through jungles. It swarms prey that enter its territory. |
| OmegaRuby | Carvanha’s strongly developed jaws and its sharply pointed fangs pack the destructive power to rip out boat hulls. Many boats have been attacked and sunk by this Pokémon. |
| AlphaSapphire | If anything invades Carvanha’s territory, it will swarm and tear at the intruder with its pointed fangs. On its own, however, this Pokémon turns suddenly timid. |
| Sun | Each school has its own territory. Any intruders are mercilessly attacked with fangs bared. |
| Moon | If they scent the faintest trace of blood, they rush to attack en masse. When alone, they’re rather cowardly. |
| UltraSun | They’re such cowards that they won’t hunt alone. When five or so of them get together, they suddenly turn ferocious! |
| UltraMoon | With its sturdy jaws and fangs, it can easily chomp wooden boats to splinters. It fights with Basculin over food. |
| Sword | It won’t attack while it’s alone—not even if it spots prey. Instead, it waits for other Carvanha to join it, and then the Pokémon attack as a group. |
| Shield | These Pokémon have sharp fangs and powerful jaws. Sailors avoid Carvanha dens at all costs. |
