Hey every person, the OU tiering council has chose to suspect test Dracovish.

Dracovish happens to be a threat that is common the Overused metagame because the beginning of the generation. With utilization of Fishious Rend, an 85 base energy move that doubles in power when attacking very first (including on switches), Dracovish is becoming perhaps one of the most fearsome wallbreakers within the OU metagame. Because of Fishious Rend’s power that is absurd coupled with Dracovish’s cap ability, Strong Jaw, Dracovish is with the capacity of ripping through perhaps the sturdiest Water-type resists. Its amazing wallbreaking potential is centralizing into the metagame that is current where Fishious Rend switch-ins are few in number.

Dracovish operates two main sets into the present metagame: solution Scarf and preference Band. A selection Scarf boosts Dracovish’s speed, frequently making certain it’ll go first, gaining an electrical boost against offensive Pokemon that it could otherwise struggle to defeat. Having said that, the option Band set trades the rate and revenge killing potential of the selection Scarf set for amazing wallbreaking energy. The set doesn’t have counters that are true can perform almost 2HKOing the bulkiest Water-type resists, such as Ferrothorn and Toxapex.

The selection Scarf set is a headache that is absolute unpleasant groups to cope with, outspeeding and OHKOing common Pokemon that will generally just simply simply take basic assaults, such as for example Togekiss and Jirachi. Preference Scarf Dracovish outspeeds the whole unboosted metagame club Zeraora and Dragapult, which makes it very hard to always check, as a really quick Pokemon which also functions as a wallbreaker against offensive groups specially. Common unpleasant Pokemon that aren’t getting OHKOed, such as for instance preference Scarf Hydreigon and Dragapult, aren’t with the capacity of using numerous hits from Dracovish, basically making them become one time switch-ins. Slower pokemon that is offensive such as Kyurem and lifestyle Orb Hydreigon, are 2HKOed, so they cannot properly switch into Dracovish after all, and unpleasant teams are challenged to restrict Dracovish from switching in.

The option Band set is perhaps the absolute most powerful wallbreaker in the tier, shredding through balanced groups which have few Pokemon that may outspeed and revenge destroy it. This set is bewilderingly powerful, almost 2HKOing perhaps the sturdiest resists, such as for example Ferrothorn and Toxapex. Offensive resists that will become a single time switch for preference Scarf sets are not capable of switching into option Band since they are at risk of getting OHKOd with reduced damage that is prior. For just about any non-resist, solution Band Dracovish is effective at OHKOing the whole tier.

But, Dracovish just isn’t a pokemon that is perfect any means. Dracovish’s middling speed stat ensures that its slower than most unpleasant Pokemon with all the Selection Band set and does mean so it does not outspeed the quickest threats within the metagame, specifically Zeraora and Dragapult, even with a selection Scarf boost. Because of this, Fishious Rend is not doubled in energy, rendering it quite a bit weaker and failing continually to do damage that is enough opposing Pokemon. This might also be mistreated by protective Pokemon, such as for instance Baneful Bunker Toxapex, which could utilize Bunker that is baneful multiple in a line as a result of decreased power of Fishious Rend even when it fails. Additionally, Dracovish’s base that is admittedly mediocre assault stat means its coverage techniques are extremely poor in comparison to a boosted Fishious Rend, rendering it tough to beat checks like Seismitoad and Toxapex (with all the Selection Scarf set) without forecast. Finally, Dracovish is practically constantly limited when you’re choiced, which means that Water Pokemon that is immune can advantageous asset of it nicely and it will be forecast reliant in a few of this aforementioned match-ups or stopped by Safeguard.
