Usage Tips
========
  • you desperately want to be attacking first with dracovish in order to maximize its potential
    • tailwind with band is very good if not a necessity, whimsicott fantastic partner for this + ability to swing mirror in your favor with moonblast and pressure gastrodon with a possible energy ball
  • on scarf, make sure you put it in situations where it will be the fastest thing on the field
    • be wary of opposing tailwind, trick room, thunder wave, etc
  • try to avoid situations where redirection mons (toge, indeedee) could use follow me and reduce the power of fishious rend

    • whimsicott, braviary, corviknight
  • appreciates partners that can deal with anything that resists rend

Checks and Counters
===================

**Abilities that grant Water-type immunity**:
  • duh
  • storm drain gastro redirects and boosts
  • water absorb lapras OHKOs with freeze dry

**Faster Pokemon**:
  • lower the power of rend, can take advantage of dracovish's lackluster defenses
  • dragapult, whimsicott, sand rush excadrill
**Grass-types**:
  • resist rend, can threaten decent damage or status
  • rotom c, ferro, ludi
**Dragon-types**:
  • resist rend, tend to be faster than dragapult, only fear a stray dragon rush/ice fang
  • dragapult, kommo-o, hydreigon
**Water-types**:
  • resist rend (notice a trend?), generally bulky, most have other unique options to threaten/limit dracovish
  • rotom w (wisp), gyarados (intimidate), gastrodon (storm drain)
