Sharpedo wants a mixed, but mostly special, set to get pass some of the more physically bulky pokemon in the tier, such as Cobalion. Water/Dark/Fighting coverage hits 90% of what you need to hit anyways, so stuff like EQ or Psychic fangs is kinda niche and not really worth running at this point. Ice Beam is also an option to secure the kill on Noivern, whereas with just Dark Pulse, you need chip. With Chansey in the tier now, however, I generally would recommend running Close Combat in order to be able to threaten it. Below is the standard Sharpedo set for the UU tier. Life Orb gives you more damage output at the cost of a little HP each turn, which isnt much of a sacrifice considering how frail Sharpedo is.Thank you for the quick response! What are you thoughts on the below moveset (Physical Attacker).
