Dracovish @ Choice ScarfAbility: Strong JawEVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 SpDJolly Nature- Fishious Rend- Psychic Fangs- Crunch- Ice Fang
Summary:For this Pokemon I completely agree with the Smogon set (which isn’t always the case for me). The vast majority of the time you’ll be wanting to use Fishious Rend which can deal enormous damage as well as Water moves being able to hit everything and only being not very effective against three types. Will have to watch out for abilities like Water Absorb, Dragon types and Pokemon that can outspeed Dracovish.It does have access to a variety of other moves that also take advantage of its Strong Jaw ability and might come in handy on occasion. Choice Scarf works beautifully as Fishous Rend relies on out speeding the target. Speed investment is crucial as its base speed isn’t terrible but isn’t good either.

I know choice band and scarf sets are sooo popular so I want to try something else. It’s more of an attacking set. It’s explanatory but I went with strong jaw just because of Fishious rend. The reason why I went with Adamant is to maximise attack power. Speed isn’t my goal here, I just want to try something else and this is my first set here so feedback would be appreciated.

Dracovish can freely switch moves as well as weaken physical walls with Draco Meteor.

Fishious Rend for good STAB. Has extra power since its biting. Ice Fang and Psychic Fangs are good biting moves to give you some variety. Outrage is good STAB and damage, and Persim Berry heals confusion afterwards. Alternatively you could replace Outrage with Dragon Rush, and switch the Persim Berry for something like Life orb.

Really, I’m surprised a set like this isn’t up here already. One of Dracovish’s counters is itself, due to Water Absorb. Admittedly, Strong Jaw is usually the better option, but if your team tends to struggle with Fishious Rend Dracovish, this is a good option. With Outrage as STAB, it has a fair chance of OHKOing your opponent’s Dracovish (calcs: 252 Atk Dracovish Outrage vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Dracovish: 306-362 (95.3 - 112.7%) – 68.8% chance to OHKO). Since Dracovish usually carries a Scarf/Band, your opponent can really only switch. If you predict the switch, just start spamming Fishious Rend.
Basically, I just took a normal Dracovish set, and tweaked it a bit to be better with Water Absorb, since you don’t need to rely on Strong Jaw boosting your coverage. This set is scarfed as well, because, again, your main goal is to sweep with Fishious Rend while stopping Scarfed Dracovish from sweeping with Fishious Rend. Outrage and Fishious Rend are already explained. Iron Head covers Fairy types. Earthquake is strong coverage, and Psychic Fangs can get rid of screens (note that you can’t hit Ferrothorn well with the Psychic Fangs variation of this set.
Dracovish @ Choice Band / Choice ScarfAbility: Sand RushEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 SpeAdamant Nature- Fishious Rend- Outrage- Iron Head- Earthquake
Explanation:This set is is a little different from other Fishious Rend Dracovish. You use Tyranitar’s Sand Stream to setup Sandstorm, and Dracovish’s speed is doubled in it, with a speed of 498 (Choice Band) or 747 (Choice Scarf) during Sandstorm. Its 100 base defense helps it take hits from Excadrill. Fishious Rend is STAB and its power is doubled when it outspeeds other Pokemon. The other moves are just for coverage, but the main move is Fishious Rend.
Dracovish @ Choice Band/ScarfAbility: Sand RushEVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SpeAdamant Nature- Fishious Rend- Outrage- Crunch- Sleep Talk/Iron head/Earthquake
This is a super crazy dynamax set which need good skills and teammates to use it. Highly recommended at sand teams. The reason why I use sleep talk is because of getting asleep was one of the worst nightmare of every dracovish users (Easy to get sweeped/might loss most important dps).
For teammates, Hippowdown was prob one of the best teammate for a rush draco.
Dracovish @ Choice ScarfAbility: Strong jawEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 SpeJolly / Adamant Nature- Fishious Rend- Psychic Fangs- Outrage- Earthquake / Leech Life / Iron Head / Stone Edge / Whatever you name Good Physical attack
this is a classical set. fishious rend for STAB and power boost because of the choice scarf and strong jaw,psychic fangs for power boost from strong jaw and breaking screens,outrage for dragon STAB.earthquake is a good move it learns for steel types that you can’t harm. iron head for faries.
you can also try this set with t-tar or something else that has sand stream

p.s I’m new and don’t know so much about some stuff so if you would, PLEASE leave any suggestions in the comments for improvements.p.s.s do I have bad grammar?
Dracovish @ Mystic WaterAbility: Strong JawEVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 DefAdamant Nature- Fishious Rend- Crunch- Protect- Dragon Pulse
Bro to me, there no other moveset that is better. This revolves around fishious rend. Firstly, it has mystic water, which increases the power of fishious rend. Secondly, it has strong jaw, which increases fishious rendandcrunch! Thirdly, it has adamant nature, which increases physical attack, boosting fishious rend even further! Lastly,ITS STAB!!!Crunch is there for coverage against psychic, protect to stall out anything and dragon pulse for more STAB. This Pokemon is soo broken, thats why its in Ubers. Definitely try it out. Also extra boost when raining btw.
Its a shame that Dracovish can’t learn sandstorm by it self, but still it works well.Dracovish @Live orb/ Lum BerryAbility: Sand RushEVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SpeJolly Nature-Fishious Rend-Protect-Iron Head-Sleeptalk/Leech Life
This set works the best in doubles with a Sand Stream partner (I prefere Gigalith because of its low speed stat so he always can set the sand up).Fishious Rendis the main attack but if it isn’t effective you haveIron Head, but also its good against fairy type.Protectis to stall a turn and for time to think.Sleeptalkis so you can’t stop attacking.
If never have to worry about a special condition you also can use aLum Berryinstand of theLive Orb. Use thenLeech LifeoverSleeptalkfor recover.I hope this helpt!
