Dracovish @ Assault Vest
Ability: Strong Jaw
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 132 Atk / 124 SpD
Lonely Nature
- Fishious Rend
- Draco Meteor
- Rock Tomb
- Crunch
Dracovish continues to adapt in a BSS meta with restricted legendaries with a bulky Assault Vest set, capitalizing on the surprise value of it often carrying a Choice item instead to take a specialized role against some of the common restricted Pokemon. Aside from not caring about Kyogre's Water Spout, this Dracovish survives a Dynamax Cannon from Timid Life Orb Eternatus, as well as being able to take two Astral Barrages from Focus Sash Calyrex-S and KO back with Crunch. Meanwhile Fishious Rend will always be a powerful tool that makes it difficult to switch into Dracovish safely. Draco Meteor seems unusual, but it's the most reliable option for hitting Dragon-types, since locking into Outrage is not worth the higher power especially in a metagame with Zacian-C. While Draco Meteor doesn't OHKO Eternatus, the damage is still valuable for setting up a teammate to sweep. Lastly, Rock Tomb provides speed control utility and also simplifies the Kyogre matchup. Relatedly, Dracovish is a good partner for Zacian-C to pressure opposing Fire-types such as Volcarona and Heatran while also easing matchups against the aforementioned restricted legendaries.
