The Dracovish featured on this page recreates the Level 50 Dracovish distributed during the Marco’s Dracovish Gift event for Pokémon Sword & Shield during the April 2022 distribution window. It arrives in a Cherish Ball with the original Trainer “Marco” and Trainer ID 220422, the exact identifiers recorded in the live distribution.
What makes this version worth collecting: It arrives holding a Choice Scarf — bonus items like this were part of the original handout and are preserved here. Its full four-move set (Fishious Rend, Rock Slide, Crunch, Dragon Rush) mirrors the event distribution, including any moves the species can't access through normal level-up or TMs. It carries 1 ribbon (ChampionBattle) — ribbon data is often what separates event originals from later clones, and it's intact here.
Every IV is locked at 31 (a perfect 6IV spread), so this Dracovish is Ranked-ready the moment it lands in your save. Ability is set to OnlySecond, matching the event-programmed slot.
Every event Pokémon on GenPKM is built through the same PKHeX legality pipeline Pokémon HOME uses to validate deposits, so this Dracovish passes HOME, transfers cleanly across the games its species is available in, and behaves identically to a Pokémon you'd obtain yourself. To add it to your save, open the Mystery Gift trade hub, pick the Sword & Shield list, and hit trade — the bot runs a Link Trade with you in under a minute once you're queued. If you're new to genning and want the honest answer on ban risk first, read Is Pokémon Genning Safe? before you trade.
Yes. Every event recreation on GenPKM is validated against PKHeX — the same legality rules Pokémon HOME uses on deposit. This Dracovish from the Marco’s Dracovish Gift event passes HOME without any flags and moves freely between compatible games.
When was the Marco’s Dracovish Gift event originally distributed?
The Marco’s Dracovish Gift distribution for Pokémon Sword & Shield ran from April 22, 2022 to April 25, 2022. If you missed the live window, GenPKM rebuilds the exact distribution data so the Pokémon is still available to add to your collection.
Can Dracovish normally learn these moves?
The move set (Fishious Rend, Rock Slide, Crunch, Dragon Rush) is the event's official preset. Some of these moves may not be available to Dracovish through normal level-up or TM learning in Sword & Shield — which is part of what makes event distributions like this one collectible.
How do I receive this Pokémon on my game?
Sign in on GenPKM, open the Mystery Gift trade hub, pick the Sword & Shield event list, and select this event. Our trade bot starts a Link Trade with you and sends the Pokémon directly — it takes under a minute once you're at the front of the queue.
Can I use this event Pokémon in online battles?
Ranked Battle Stadium, Link Battles, Surprise Trade, and Pokémon HOME GTS all accept this Pokémon because its data passes every server-side check. Note that official VGC tournaments separately disallow any Pokémon not personally obtained in the tournament's legal game — that's a tournament rule and applies regardless of how the Pokémon was acquired.
