[SET COMMENTS]
Fishious Rend is remarkably powerful on Dracovish as it doubles in power if used before the target has acted and is further boosted by Strong Jaw. When used with a Choice Band even some of the most defensive Pokemon that resist Water-type attacks, such as Ferrothorn and Toxapex, are at risk of a 2HKO. The gameplan with Dracovish is to get it in position against slower Pokemon and start unleashing Fishious Rends. To achieve this, pivot options with U-turn or Volt Switch can be used to bring Dracovish in safely. Teammates who provide paralysis support can also slow targets down for Dracovish to take advantage of. Thunder Wave or Glare is an ideal way to achieve this, with many great users such as Grimmsnarl, Rotom-H, and Sandaconda available.
Choice Band provides devastating power that breaks through defensive Pokemon. Mystic Water still provides enough of a damage boost to OHKO offensive Mimikyu after Disguise has been broken and Dracovish can even OHKO Dynamaxed Mimikyu if it moves first. Choice Scarf utilizes the increase in speed to use boosted Fishious Rend more reliably, requiring less support at the cost of a significant reduction in damage. If used during rain however, Choice Scarf Dracovish can be both fast and devastatingly powerful.
Fishious Rend is by far the most important move on the set and the one you will be using in the vast majority of cases. However, this isn't to say the other moves aren't useful. Crunch is boosted by Strong Jaw and offers an answer to Water Absorb Jellicent. Psychic Fangs, also boosted by Strong Jaw, is an alternative way to attack Toxapex for more damage than Fishious Rend while also providing some minor utility in the removal of Reflect and Light Screen. Finally, Rock Tomb is primarily a utility option that offers a means of speed control.
