With access to its signature move Fishious Rend, Dracovish is a strong wallbreaker and revenge killer on Water teams that can OHKO most of the unresisted metagame. Fishious Rend is the move that should be used most often; its other coverage moves should only be used when there is a Water-immune or bulky Water-resistant Pokemon on the opponent's side. Maximum Speed investment is used alongside a Choice Scarf in order to outspeed as many Pokemon as possible, allowing Fishious Rend to hit first.

Due to Dracovish's respectable bulk and typing, it offers key neutralities to Grass- and Electric-type attacks, which Water teams have a hard time switching into. Dracovish should be used to wallbreak early-game by spamming Fishious Rend to weaken the opponent's switch-ins to Water-type moves, opening up a sweep for its teammates later on. It is best used on rain teams with the support of Pelipper, which sets rain to boost its main attack and gives it a safe switch via a slow U-turn. Gyarados is a good teammate, as Dracovish breaks past physical walls like Mandibuzz that Gyarados struggles against. Toxapex is also a great partner, being able to sponge attacks as well as spread status to chip away at walls like Ferrothorn that Dracovish otherwise has trouble breaking through.

How Fishious Rend works is something someone can check Bulbapedia for, so let's not go into that much detail. Instead, combine what you're trying to say in the first two sentences together.

I think the line about coverage being not as important is good, but it should be noted that the coverage moves should only be used in combination with Dynamax (for example, Fishious Rend in rain outdamages Psychic Fangs against Toxapex but Max Mindstorm sets Psychic Terrain, which gives it the edge very slightly).

With that extra room now, we can mention how Dracovish can be used early-game to just spam Fishious Rend to weaken all of the opponent's Water-resistant Pokemon, opening up the way for a teammate to sweep later on.

I think you could mention Gyarados as a good teammate. Dracovish completely breaks walls like Mandibuzz so that Gyarados can easily sweep late-game.

Looks good QC 1/2

Implemented. Added the Dynamax part as a seperate sentence to avoid changing a whole lot when it eventually gets banned.

Dracovish, (AC) with access to it's its signature move Fishious Rend, (AC) becomes is a strong wallbreaker and revenge killer on Water-type Water (consistency) teams, hitting extremely hard and (redundant with "is a strong wallbreaker") landing an unresisted 1HKO OHKO on most of the unresisted metagame. Fishious Rend is the move that (subjective change) should be used most often, with the other coverage moves only being to be used when there is an a Water-type immunity or strong bulky ("strong" implies an offensive mon) resist on the opponent's side. Coverage moves should also be used during Dynamax to hit with a non-choice-locked move to decrease the opponent's stats or set-up Psychic Terrain, which increases Psychic Fangs damage versus Toxapex. Coverage moves can also be used while Dracovish is Dynamaxed, as it won't be Choice-locked into them, and they have useful side effects like decreasing the opponent's stats or setting up Psychic Terrain, the latter of which increases Psychic Fangs' damage output versus Toxapex. Maximum Speed investment is used alongside a Choice Scarf in order to out(RH)speed as many Pokemon as possible, (AC) to allow allowing ("to" is repetitive) Fishious Rend to hit first.

Thanks, implemented pretty much all of it. Does this count as official GP?

Nope, sorry (AMGP stands for "amateur GP" check). Official GP checkers will have a stamp on their posts.
