With EVs designed to maximize offensive output, Dracovish is a Pokemon that feasts upon bulky, slow Pokemon, such as Sylveon, non-Timid Mandibuzz, Corviknight, and Aromatisse, that cannot viably afford to invest in large amounts in Speed, as well as physically frail Pokemon that cannot OHKO it, like Choice Scarf Galarian Darmanitan and Jolly Durant. It serves as a check-all to these kinds of Pokemon, nearly regardless of type advantage. Fishious Rend and Outrage are the moves most used by Dracovish, with Strong Jaw-boosted Fishious Rend being Dracovish's primary method of attack, except against certain foes that can survive a Fishious Rend. Fishious Rend will actually do more damage than Outrage against slower opponents that resist it, so Outrage should only be used against potentially faster threats like Rotom-W and priority users like Golisopod. The other two moves, Iron Head and Low Kick, serve extremely niche purposes:; Low Kick is only useful against Ferrothorn, doing marginally more damage than Fishious Rend, and Bisharp, which can avoid double damage with Sucker Punch, and Iron Head is simply used to give Dracovish a better chance at winning by flinching Crustle, which can usually win the matchup. Fishious Rend is especially notable for beating Weakness Policy Aegislash, as Dracovish will still 2HKO Aegislash even after two King's Shields.
Dracovish works especially well with fast, bulky Crustle, which will be luring in bulkier threats that will attempt to deal with its setup, like Corviknight, Aromatisse, stall Arcanine, Tyranitar, and Aegislash, for Dracovish to tear apart. In return, Crustle can handle Dracozolt, Golisopod, and most Mimikyu. Dracovish also appreciates answers to opposing Dragon-types, such as Dragapult, Haxorus, Goodra, opposing Dracovish, Dracozolt, and Appletun, which often outspeed or speed tie and KO Dracovish, or survive an attack thanks to Haban Berry. Therefore, Fairy-types like Sylveon and Mimikyu can generally do very well against these threats, usually surviving any attack that gets thrown at them. Sylveon also has the benefit of breaking Galarian Corsola, which is one of the few defensive walls that can handle Dracovish. Dracovish can in return beat notable Steel-types, like Excadrill, Aegislash, and Corviknight.
