Dracovish (Pokémon)

|}
Dracovish (Japanese: ウオノラゴン Uonoragon) is a dual-type Fossil introduced in Generation VIII.
It is revived from combining a Fossilized Fish and a Fossilized Drake. It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, but appears to be related to and .
==Biology==
Dracovish is a hybrid fossil . It consists of the head of the fish fossil and the back legs and tail of the dino fossil; the head appears to have been mounted on the tip of the tail. The tail region ends abruptly at a circular cutoff. Dracovish's legs are mostly green with two pink stripes. The feet have three red claws. The neck is also mostly green but has a red stripe going up the middle. The stripe is lined with three curved spikes on both sides. Dracovish's head is roughly circular with a rounded triangular plate on the top. On the plate is a red and white region that extends between the eyes. Its mouth has three sharp teeth in the middle. Its eyes are round and have black rectangular pupils. Two fins protrude from the bottom of the jaw.
Dracovish is said to have been the apex predator of its time due to its powerful legs and jaws, and the ability to run at speeds exceeding 40 mph (60 km/h). However, it could not breathe unless it was underwater. Dracovish allegedly went extinct due to overhunting its prey, though this is likely not the case due to it being combined from two separate Pokémon that each had their niches before going extinct. As seen in the episode On Land, In the Sea, and to the Future!, Dracovish can run very fast when underwater. It has also been shown that Dracovish can awaken a dormant power from within itself that causes the spikes on its chest to become surrounded by a red aura. When in this state, the spikes can be used to bind targets or jab them.

===Origin===
Dracovish, like , , and , may be based on the concept of in paleontology, which refers to fossils reconstructed from multiple different species or genus of animals, resulting in an inaccurate and mistaken understanding of the animals' biology. In the case of Dracovish, its bottom half appears to be based mainly on a dinosaur, whilst its top half appears to be based mainly on the fish , though the frontal pair of fins resemble those possessed by such as s rather than the fins of Dunkleosteus. The placement of its head on the tip of its tail may be a reference to the first reconstruction of . Dracovish and the other Galarian Fossil Pokémon may also reference the , a series of scientifically inaccurate dinosaur sculptures displayed at the .
The Pokédex entries for all the Galarian Fossil Pokémon mention them being the cause of their extinction, which may be a reference to the outdated hypothesis that the dinosaurs were evolutionarily inert, which made them get bigger, more sluggish, and stupider to the point they could not sustain themselves.
Dracovish being unable to breed could be a reference to animals, which are born (unable to produce offspring).
====Name origin====
