==Biology==
Dracozolt is a hybrid fossil . It has a small yellow upper body with two long wings shaped like lightning bolts on its arms. Dracozolt has a long neck that connects to a -like head with closed eyes and a red spot on each cheek. The upper half is connected to the middle of the lower body, with an orange and yellow circle surrounding the neck. The lower body is colored pink and green. The legs are green with pink toes and stripes and the tail is green with pink stripes and spikes.
It generates electricity thanks to its powerful tail muscles. It allegedly overgrazed its plant-based food sources, causing it to eventually go extinct, though this is likely not the case due to Dracozolt being combined from two separate Pokémon that each had their niches before going extinct.

Dracozolt and the other Galarian Fossil Pokémon may also be based on 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all the Galarian Fossil Pokémon mention them being the cause of their own extinction, which may be a reference to the outdated hypothesis that the dinosaurs were evolutionarily inert, which made them get bigger, stupider, and more sluggish, to the point they could not sustain themselves.
Dracozolt being unable to breed could be a reference to animals, which are born (unable to produce offspring).
====Name origin====
Dracozolt may be a combination of dracō (Latin for dragon) and volt or jolt.
Patchiragon may be a combination of パチパチ pachipachi (onomatopoeia for crackling) and dragon.
