Dracovish (Japanese: ウオノラゴン, HepburnUonoragon) is a Water/Dragon-type Fossil Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII.

Biology[]

Physiology[]

Dracovish is a hybrid of a fish and a dinosaur.

The fish head is blue with sharp teeth and two eyes with dashes for pupils. A red marking covers its forehead, which is surprisingly blue on its counterpart on Arctovish. It also has two fins.

The Draco part resembles the rear end of a green stegosaurus with red stripes and spikes. The part which is cut of from the torso is green and red.

It's unknown what Dracovish looks like if it's a uncombined fossil from two separate fossil Pokémon.

Behavior[]

Apparently, after the two halves of the Fossils were fused to create it, Dracovish were believed to have strong jaws and legs which could run at 40 miles per hour, but its head can't breathe unless it was submerged in water. It is believed to go extinct when it over hunted its prey. However, these are likely false, as it is a Pokémon made from two different Fossils that each had their niches before going extinct.

Ash Dracovish

Ash's Dracovish

Dracovish made its debut in "A Pinch of This, a Pinch of That!", where it was restored from two different Fossils in the Wild Area. They were supposed to be a Dracozolt & an Arctovish but, the Fossils were swapped during the restoration, which resulted in created Dracovish alongside Goh's Arctozolt. It was later caught by Ash after he befriended it.

Trivia[]

  • Dracovish, alongside the other Galar Fossil Pokémon are the first Fossil Pokémon that:
    • Cannot breed.
    • Lack the Rock-type.
    • Are revived from more than one fossil.
    • Are genderless.
  • Dracovish is tied with Arctozolt as the tallest of the Galar Fossil Pokémon. It is also the heaviest.

Origin[]

Dracovish appears to be based on the Crystal Palace Dinosaurs, a set of dinosaur skeletons that were misconstructed and are now deemed incorrect due to them either being mixes of more than one dinosaur or having incorrectly constructed skeletons altogether.

The head half is based on a Dunkleosteus while its tail half is based on a Dacentrurus or some other type of stegosaurid dinosaur. Dracovish's case of mashup seems to be taken from the Elasmosaurus, who originally accidentally had its skull fossil put on its tail end.

Dracovish (as well as the other Galar Fossil Pokémon) having the inability to breed may reference cross-bred or hybrid animals, which are born infertile (meaning they are unable to breed or have offspring).

Etymology[]

Dracovish comes from 'draco', which could come from the word 'draconic' or could simply come from the Latin term for dragon, 'vicious' and 'fish'.
