Dracovish in Pokemon Sword and Shield

Dracovish is one of the most distinctive Pokemon ever because Trainers do not catch it with Pokeballs but by combining fossils. Here’s a detailed guide on how to get Dracovish in Pokemon Sword and Shield.

Over the years, the Pokemon franchise has changed drastically, and accordingly, a ton of new ways for catching and evolving Pokemon have emerged. A perfect example of the same is Dracovish.

Dracovish is a hybrid Fossil Pokemon in Pokemon Sword and Shield that players can get after combining Fish and Drake fossils. Trainers can either roam around the map and search for these Fossils or get them from NPCs.

In this guide on how to get Dracovish, we’ll cover every method in detail.
