Choice Context
Dracovish is the strongest general-purpose choice. Dracozolt is the next most straightforward offensive option.
All four are revived at level 10 and need substantial training when first obtained.
Arctozolt
Slow mixed Electric/Ice attacker.
Arctozolt has valuable Electric and Ice coverage, but its low Speed works against Bolt Beak's bonus and its typing leaves it vulnerable to several common attack types.
Use it for coverage rather than pure speed. Paralysis or hail support can make it much more effective.
Useful but more awkward than Dracozolt or Dracovish in an ordinary Sword/Shield playthrough.
Arctovish
Slow, bulky Water/Ice attacker.
Arctovish is sturdy and has useful Water and Ice coverage, but its low Speed makes Fishious Rend harder to maximize and its typing creates several common weaknesses.
Treat it as a bulky coverage attacker. It benefits from speed control but does not depend on it as heavily if used defensively.
Functional, but usually the least convenient Galar fossil for a straightforward playthrough.
Revival Locations
Sword/Shield: Revive at Cara Liss fossil machine in Route 6. Revives at level 10.
Flavor Text
Sword Shield
The fossil of an ancient Pokémon that once lived in the sea. What it looked like is a mystery.
