A piranha that will carve you up, I like it, Gamefreak. However, that's not really anything like what a Piranha looks like. Carvanha looks all jaggedly and rough, hence its ability, Rough Skin, but actual piranhas are mostly smooth. They do have that trademark underbite, and the red belly, though.
And normally that's what a good Pokemon design does, it takes an animal, makes it different, and then adds something badass. But Carvanha, while an okay design, is just too different. If it weren't for the name, I'd think it was just an angry fish.
Also, one thing I've always wondered: You know how they say a school of piranhas can skeletonize a cow in like 2 minutes? How do you test something like that? Were they just dropping random animals in Amazon rivers and seeing how long it would take for a school of piranhas to eat them, or what? Or is a cow the standard scientific measurement of predatory ability? "A full-grown bear can eat an entire cow in 10 minutes", etc. Because, why a cow? Do cows fall into Amazon rivers a lot?
Overall: 5/10
