I nominate Stonjourner as an offensive counter check because apparently Oath doesnt count 'live a hit well, OHKO back' as a counter

Silvally-Rock @ Rock Memory
Ability: RKS System
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Multi-Attack
- Defog
- Flamethrower
- Parting Shot
is a check to bugvally as it can come in multiple times on flamethrower and also on psychic fangs and bug multi-attack. silvally-rock can dish out a strong multi-attack on its own and has a chance to ohko it after stealth rocks damage.
however silvally-rock has to win a speed-tie after bugvally is on +2 due to swords dance but it can still check silvally-bug with another
option in parting shot to lower its attack-stat and parting shot gives momentum as well.

Carkol @ Eviolite
Ability: Flame Body
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpA
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Spikes/Stealth Rock
- Rapid Spin
- Body Press/Stealth Rock
- Flamethrower
Once again, I like to think of times if a victim can get the setup going. Carkol counters/stonewalls (hue hue) the pretender any way you look at it. The defensive investment allows him to withstand. All of its opponent's attacks do paltry damage, even after a swords dance, and the physical moves run the risk of burning (after 2 attacks, a 51% chance to be precise). From there, Flamethrower cooks it nicely. Take your pick of hazards and/or attacking coverage. Two layers of spikes greatly improve your odds, and 3 layers of spikes or a layout of Stealth Rock guarantee a 2HKO

Klang @ Eviolite
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 240 HP / 136 Def / 40 SpD / 92 Spe
Impish Nature
- Shift Gear
- Gear Grind
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
Flamethrower is only a 4HKO on Klang, and Silvally-Bug needs to set up a few times for Multi-Attack to start doing any notable damage. Meanwhile, Klang can always 3HKO with +1 Gear Grind and take multiple hits with ease because of Rest. Because of all this, Klang counters Silvally-Bug.

Crustle @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Shell Smash
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
- X-Scissorcheck. you counter but only if they dont click multi-attack when you switch in, so yeah a check lol. sturdy allows u to take a hit from full, with hdb meaning sturdy stays intact when switching into entry hazards. u set up with shell smash and k.o with +2 stone edge, which idt i need to calc.
weak armor works here too, but for it to work they need to click psychic fangs the turn you switch in, making it pretty unreliable.

The Spread was made to be 6hkod by Multi Attack and to be 4hkod by Psychic fangs. The Special Attack si there to have a good chance to kill silvally bug with fire blast at +2.

Dusclops @ Eviolite
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 116 Def / 140 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Will-O-Wisp
- Night Shade
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
Dusclops is a counter against Silvally-Bug. Bugvally’s 2+ Multi-Attack alone can only 4hko Dusclops, even with stealth rocks at the field. Also, Multi-Attack does more damage than Psychic fangs. Dusclops can easily force Bugvally out in fear of Will-o-Wisp. The rest of the moveset makes sure your Dusclops isn't a sitting duck. And the SpDef is just to tank in special attacks.
Extra fun fact: You can still invest Dusclops more like a specially defensive wall while still countering Bugvally if you don’t care about the stealth rock factor.

Drakloak @ Eviolite
Ability: Infiltrator
EVs: 32 Def / 252 SpA / 224 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Will-O-Wisp
- Hex
- Fire Blast
- Draco Meteor
Will-O-Wisp Drakloak is a check to Silvally-Bug. It can safely switch into any attack Silvally uses and, due to its better Speed tier, can even switch into an SD and burn it on the next turn. It is only at best 3HKO'd by Silvally, while Drakloak has an almost guaranteed 2HKO with Fire Blast after burn damage (or a guaranteed 3HKO with Hex if you don't want to risk Fire Blast missing) and due to Silvally-Bug's weakness to Stealth Rock, it's not too hard to chip it in range of the Hex 2HKO. I almost considered nominating Drakloak as a counter, but due to Will-O-Wisp and Fire Blast having less than perfect accuracy, and Drakloak not having reliable recovery to switch in multiple times, it's sadly only a check.
252 Atk Silvally-Bug Multi-Attack vs. 0 HP / 32 Def Eviolite Drakloak: 86-102 (31 - 36.8%) -- 68.6% chance to 3HKO

nominating manectric as a offensive check. Manectric can switch safely in anything not named Multi Attack and scare SilvaBug with a OHKO with Specs Overheat (Scarf Overheat and Specs Flamethrower need some chip)

Pyukumuku @ Leftovers
Ability: Unaware
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Impish Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Toxic
- Recover
- Counter
- Spite / Soak / Mirror Coat
Pyumuku is a counter of BugVally, due to its great defensive bulky it is very difficult to get rid of it in addition to not being able to do Set-up with SD due to the Unaware ability that ignores the changes of stats, with Counter it can return the attacks Physicals such as Multi Attack or Psychic fangs and Toxic to wear it down in addition to having access to recover to recover the damage received, you can use Spite to pp stall soak to change the types to some other ghost / steel mon or a mon that is necessary to knock it down or mirror coat to return special attacks, that makes it a great counter for Sillbaly Bug.

Nominating Heatmor as a counter to Bugvally
Heatmor @ Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 176 HP / 252 Def / 80 SpA
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Fire Blast
- Will-O-Wisp
- Giga Drain
- Taunt
Heatmor serves as an excellent counter to Bugvally due to its ability to come in and shut it down with utility or simply 2HKO with Fire Blast. WoW allows Heatmor to halve Bugvally’s Attack, causing it to do even less damage than usual, Giga Drain is there mainly for other mons in the meta, but in a pinch can do minimal damage to Bugvally. Finally, Taunt crushes Bugvally’s hopes of setting up. The given spread allows it to take barely and damage from most attacks while still being able to 2HKO with Fire Blast.

Mawile @ Assault Vest
Ability: Sheer Force
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 4 Def / 248 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Iron Head
- Sucker Punch
- Play Rough
- Rock Slide
Nominating Mawile as a check. You've heard of physically defensive Mawile, but have you heard of specially defensive Mawile? Admittedly, Mawile needs to be fully invested in Special Defense to pull this off, but this spread turns Flamethrower into an almost guaranteed 4HKO.
0- SpA Silvally-Bug Flamethrower vs. 252 HP / 248 SpD Assault Vest Mawile: 86-102 (28.2 - 33.5%) -- 0.1% chance to 3HKO
0- SpA Silvally-Bug Flamethrower vs. 252 HP / 248 SpD Assault Vest Mawile: 86-102 (28.2 - 33.5%) -- 25.5% chance to 3HKO after Stealth Rock
In return, Mawile can comfortably 3HKO with either Rock Slide or Play Rough.
4+ Atk Sheer Force Mawile Play Rough vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Silvally-Bug: 127-150 (38.3 - 45.3%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
4+ Atk Sheer Force Mawile Rock Slide vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Silvally-Bug: 142-168 (42.9 - 50.7%) -- 2.3% chance to 2HKO
Both of which turn into guaranteed 2HKOs if Bugvally comes in on Stealth Rocks.
In my opinion, the best part of this set is the potential for mind games. After Swords Dance, Multi-Attack will actually do more damage than Flamethrower (barely), but because it would crazy to run Mawile with maxed Special bulk instead of Phys Def, your opponent will (likely) never click Multi-Attack.
+2 252 Atk Silvally-Bug Multi-Attack vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Mawile: 90-106 (29.6 - 34.8%) -- 10.7% chance to 3HKO
+2 252 Atk Silvally-Bug Multi-Attack vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Mawile: 90-106 (29.6 - 34.8%) -- 83.5% chance to 3HKO after Stealth Rock
I've put 4 EVs into Mawile's Defense because they do make a slight difference in the % chance for Multi-Attack to become a 3HKO, but putting those 4 into Attack doesn't raise the damage of Rock Slide or Play Rough.
The goal of this set is to come in on the Swords Dance or come in fresh-faced. Mawile should not take an attack to switch in, but if it does, Sucker Punch can do a small amount of damage to make up for the non-guaranteed 2HKO when Stealth Rocks aren't set up.
Running Mawile with Special Defense investment is a little odd, but I had this idea and wanted to share.
