In the anime

A Fossilized Drake appeared in A Pinch of This, a Pinch of That!, where Ash, Goh, and Chloe helped Cara Liss and Bray Zenn to dig it up in the Wild Area. It was later combined with a Fossilized Fish and restored into a Dracovish.

In the anime, the appearances of Fossilized Fish and Drake are swapped, making them match the Pokémon they are supposed to restore.

In the manga

Pokémon Adventures

Sword & Shield arc

A Fossilized Drake appeared in PASS39, where Marnie was shown to discovered one for Cara Liss. Combined with the Fossilized Bird that Marnie had also found, Cara Liss was able to restore it into a Dracozolt.

In the TCG

Main article: Rare Fossil (Darkness Ablaze 167)

A Fossilized Drake is featured in the Pokémon Trading Card Game on the Rare Fossil Item card included in the Darkness Ablaze expansion, first released in the Japanese Infinity Zone expansion. Although it is a Trainer card, it is played as if it were a Colorless-type Basic Pokémon, meaning the player's opponent takes a Prize card when it is Knocked Out. However, Rare Fossil can't be affected by any Special Conditions, can't retreat, and the player may choose to discard it at any time during their turn. It can evolve into any of the Generation VIII Fossil Pokémon: Dracozolt, Arctozolt, Dracovish, or Arctovish.

This card's effect is similar to that of Mysterious Fossil and Unidentified Fossil.

Trivia

In Pokémon Sword and Shield, the Fossilized Fish and Fossilized Drake appear to have mistakenly swapped sprites. The Fossilized Drake offers the "Draco-" body for Dracozolt and Dracovish but visually looks like the head provided by the Fossilized Fish. In the anime, their appearances are the opposite of their game sprites.
The Pokémon revived from the Fossilized Drake have 10 fewer points in their Special Attack and Special Defense stats, and 20 extra points in Speed, compared to their counterparts revived from the Fossilized Dino.
