Battle Strategy

Silvally functions as a versatile pivot and offensive threat that can adapt its type to fill team gaps. Its signature move Multi-Attack provides high-powered physical STAB, while Parting Shot allows it to debuff enemies and switch safely.

Best Used In

Lower Smogon tiers like PU or NU where its 95 base stats are more dominant, and VGC formats that allow sub-legendaries but restrict major box legends.

Strengths

  • Well-rounded 95 base stats in every category
  • Access to the rare and powerful pivot move Parting Shot
  • Massive movepool covering physical, special, and support options
  • STAB Multi-Attack has 120 base power with no drawbacks

Weaknesses

  • Lack of a held item slot due to mandatory Memory discs
  • No reliable recovery moves like Roost or Slack Off
  • Face stiff competition from specialized Arceus forms in higher tiers
  • Susceptible to being worn down by entry hazards

Competitive Tips

  • Utilize Flame Charge to patching up its middling Speed tier while dealing chip damage.
  • Pair with a Defog or Rapid Spin user to keep Silvally healthy for multiple switch-ins.
  • Exploit the RKS System to surprise opponents with unexpected coverage like Ice Beam or Thunderbolt.
  • Use Swords Dance on forced switches to turn Silvally into a sweep-capable wallbreaker.
  • In its Normal form, Choice Band or Life Orb can be used since no Memory is required.

Game History

Introduced in Generation VII as the evolved form of Type: Null, it was created by the Aether Foundation as the 'UB Killer'. It represents a successful attempt to stabilize the RKS System, a human-engineered imitation of the Alpha System found in Arceus. It played a significant role in the Alola games as Gladion's signature partner.

Trivia

  • Silvally is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 570.
  • Its name is a combination of 'Silver' and 'Ally', given to it by Gladion.
  • The tail is shaped like a fish fin, the legs like an insect's, and the head like a raptor's, reflecting its chimera origins.
  • In the anime, Gladion's Silvally was instrumental in the fight against the Ultra Beast Nihilego.
  • It is the only Pokémon evolved through high friendship that is also a Legendary (sub-legendary) Pokémon.
  • The 'RKS System' ability is a phonetic reference to the name 'Arceus'.
