[SET COMMENTS]
Dracovish is a very powerful wallbreaker for Dragon teams, hitting Pokemon slower than it, such as Galarian Weezing, Mandibuzz, and Porygon2, massively hard thanks to the combination of Choice Band and Strong Jaw. Fishious Rend's immense power when Dracovish moves first means that it should always be used except when facing foes that resist or are immune to Water-type moves. Outrage is a powerful STAB move that threatens Water- and Dragon-types; however, it leaves Dracovish locked into the move and unable to switch out. Psychic Fangs deals with Toxapex, Keldeo, Amoonguss, and Vileplume on the switch, and Crunch is used for Jellicent and Mew. An Adamant nature allows Dracovish to hit as hard as possible, whereas a Jolly nature can be used to outspeed Adamant Diggersby and Adamant Mamoswine. However, it's still outsped by many offensive threats, such as Excadrill and Zeraora, so it should be brought in against bulky walls that it can threaten with Fishious Rend.

Choice Scarf Dragapult is an essential teammate to outspeed fast threats that Dracovish struggles with, such as Choice Scarf Weavile, Gardevoir, and Kingdra under rain. Noivern provides entry hazard removal with Defog, allowing Dracovish to repeatedly switch in and pressure walls for its teammates. Noivern also takes care of Grass-types, such as Rillaboom and Whimsicott, and gives Dracovish free switch-ins with U-turn. Wallbreakers such as Hydreigon, Kyurem, and Haxorus appreciate Dracovish's ability to KO slower Fairy-types, such as Hatterene and Grimmsnarl. They can severely damage its biggest checks, such as Toxapex, Ferrothorn, Gastrodon, and Water Absorb Seismitoad in return. Duraludon and Kommo-o both have access to Stealth Rock, making it easier to score OHKOs, especially on Amoonguss and Rillaboom. Duraludon also revenge kills faster Fairy-types such as Choice Scarf Gardevoir and Mimikyu. Dragalge can safely switch into Fairy-types, provide Toxic Spikes support, and give Dracovish free switch-ins with Flip Turn. Goodra can check fast special threats such as Gengar and Volcarona, which are problematic to deal with.

- on the set drop leech life, dragon does not actually care about celebi. make the set order this move1: fishous rend, move2: outrage, move3: psychic fangs, move4: crunch
- move outrage to the line after fishous rend to reflect set order
- mention what all of its set does in paragraph 1. just say adamant allows it to hit harder, while jolly outspeeds xyz. also cloyster is a terrible example for dracovish since it always setup bait for cloyster. mention what cb and its evs do as well
- would mention as a usage tip that bringing dracovish in vs slower pokemon is always a good idea since they'll most likely drop to a band rend (bottom of paragraph 1)
- dont know why you are putting dracovish down in team section, just mention how dragapult can revenge kill for it. would also mention that all teammates appreciate dracovish's ability to take on slower fairy-type pokemon like clefable, hatterene, and grimmsnarl for the team.

Late-game cleaners such as Hydreigon, Kyurem and Haxorus appreciate Dracovish's ability to kill bulky Pokemon, allowing them to sweep more effectively.

- hydreigon and kyurem are not late game cleaners, haxorus is not really either, these are all wallbreakers and while yes they can clean lategame they are most useful breaking stuff down for pokemon like dragapult to clean through the other team better. specify what each pokemon can specifically do for dracovish as well

- for duraludon, I would focus on its ability to beat faster fairies for dracovish since it has no problem beating the slower ones, examples like gardevoir and mimikyu would be good

Choice Scarf Dragapult can outspeed +2 Cloyster, allowing it to be revenge killed, especially Sucker Punch variants of Dragapult and Cloysters that are not running Ice Shard.

- yes scarf dragapult does outspeed +2 cloyster, but scarf sucker punch does not really exist and cloyster always runs ice shard.

- noivern can also pivot in dracovish with u-turn and take care of grass types with hurricane

please implement all of this, then tag me in this thread and I will look over this analysis again. if I like it and you have implemented the above properly i will stamp this.

maroon this is implemented and should be ready for QC .

Dracovish is a tremendously strong wallbreaker and revenge killer thanks to its signature move Fishious Rend, ability in Strong Jaw and Choice Band, which further boosts its Attack stat.
- strong jaw isnt a general boost to the attack stat. it specifically boosts the power of biting moves like fishous rend, crunch, psy fangs. make that clear.

Outrage is a powerful STAB move, but should only be used wisely as it leaves Dracovish locked into the move and a result of easily being killed as well as confusion chance.
- rephrase this to it being easily revenge killed, also take out the part about confusion its irrelevant. make sure to mention that outrage is mainly used on water- and dragon-type pokemon as well

Psychic Fangs is mandatory for dealing with Toxapex and Vileplume on the switch-in, while Crunch is for Jellicent and Mew.
- would list keldeo as a target of psychic fang

Due to Dracovish's mediocre Speed stat, it is unable to stay in often at times as it gets outsped by faster revenge killers such as Dragapult and Choice Band Zeraora, making it rely on teammates to help support it.
- this feels like more of a team options thing, take this out of the first paragraph. would give the speed control support line to where u include scarf dragapult

Bringing in Dracovish on slower Pokémon is always a good idea, as it is able to achieve kills more efficiently and potentionally force switches.
- make it clear that it can easily kill slower pokemon because of fishous rend, that is the main idea here imo so make it clear. along the lines of dragapult mention what else it can do aside revenge kill cloyster, which while is useful not the only thing dragapult does for dracovish.

- would move choice scarf dragapult as the first example of a teammate, the speed control it brings is perhaps the most useful thing dragon can do
- with that also bring noivern right after dragapult, since clearing hazards like sticky web with defog is huge for dracovish.

* 'Dracovish is a very powerful wallbreaker for Dragon teams, hitting slower Pokemon massively hard in combination with Choice Band and Strong Jaw.' Give some examples of slower Pokemon which Dracovish can wallbreak like Galarian Weezing, Mandibuzz, and Porygon2.

* 'Otherwise, its coverage moves should only be used for Pokemon that resist or are immune to Water moves.' like Seismitoad and Gastrodon.

* ' Maximum Attack investment with an Adamant nature allow Dracovish to hit as hard as possible, whereas Jolly can be used to outspeed Adamant Diggersby and Adamant Mamoswine.'

*' Its low Speed stat leaves it outsped by a bunch of offensive Pokemon, so it should be brought in against bulky walls such as Clefable and Mandibuzz for more consistent damage.' Give some examples of faster Pokemon against which Dracovish struggles.

*' Choice Scarf Dragapult is essential for being able to outspeed fast threats that Dracovish struggles with, such as Cloyster, Gardevoir, and Kingdra under rain.' I am not sure about having Cloyster as an example here, sure Dragapult outspeeds but Cloyster has like a 50 percent chance to OHKO after Shell Smash with Ice Shard so add some other example here like Sand Rush Excadrill or Choice Scarf Weavile.

* 'Noivern provides entry hazard removal with Defog, allowing Dracovish to switch in and out more safely. Noivern is also able to take care of Grass-types for Dracovish and safely pivot it in with U-Turn.' Give example of Grass-type Pokemon here which Noivern can deal with for Dracovish like Rillaboom and Whimsicott.

* ' In return, they can be used to severely damage Dracovish's biggest threats checks such as Toxapex, Ferrothorn, Tangrowth, or Water Absorb Seismitoad.' Remove Tangrowth, its not viable here. You may add Gastrodon over it.

* Talk about Goodra and how it can be used as a specially defensive pivot for Dracovish which can also check threats like Volcarona and Gengar for the team.

Dracovish is a very powerful wallbreaker for Dragon teams, hitting Pokemon slower than it, such as Galarian Weezing, Mandibuzz, and Porygon2, massively hard in thanks to the combination with of Choice Band and Strong Jaw. Fishious Rend's immense power when its doubled Dracovish moves first means that it should always be used, (RC) except when facing foes that resist or are immune to Water-type moves. Outrage is a powerful STAB move that threatens Water-types and Dragon-types; however, it leaves Dracovish unable to switch out and locked into the move and unable to switch out (switched the order so it sounds like it can't switch out because it's locked into it, if that makes sense).
