[SET COMMENTS]
Silvally-Rock finds a solid niche in PU as a Swords Dance sweeper, obtaining setup opportunities against common foes such as Mr. Rime and Unfezant. Swords Dance bolsters Silvally-Rock's attacking prowess, letting it break through slower foes such as Appletun and Dusknoir. U-turn provides valuable utility and allows Silvally-Rock to pivot away from checks such as Sandslash and Throh. Alternatively, Flame Charge turns Silvally-Rock into a better late-game cleaner, boosting its Speed stat, letting it hit Klinklang, and enabling it to outspeed offensive checks such as Galarian Rapidash and Alolan Dugtrio and Choice Scarf users such as Drednaw and Golduck. Ice Beam serves as coverage for Ground-types such as Stunfisk and Sandslash. Psychic Fangs is a notable mention that allows Silvally-Rock to better break through Fighting-types like Throh and Falinks.
Swords Dance Silvally-Rock is often found on offensive builds that appreciate its ability to fire off strong Multi-Attacks, keep offensive momentum with U-turn, and potentially clean late-game. If running Flame Charge over U-turn, Silvally-Rock should be preserved until late-game when its checks have been weakened or removed and it can set up and sweep. Partners such as Unfezant and Morpeko weaken physical walls such as Stunfisk and Sandslash, helping facilitate a late-game sweep. Pairing Silvally-Rock with special wallbreakers such as Appletun, Nasty Plot Gourgeist, and Mr. Rime can be beneficial, as they can take advantage of the aforementioned physical walls and defensive Throh; Eject Pack Appletun can also provide more setup opportunities by bringing Silvally-Rock in on special walls such as Type: Null and Lickilicky. Stunfisk and Sandslash also make for good partners, providing checks to Steel-types such as Klinklang and Mawile and setting up entry hazards. Checks to Fighting-types such as Galarian Rapidash, Mr. Rime, and Unfezant are also appreciated, with the former two also providing Healing Wish support.

Silvally-Rock finds a slight niche in PU as an offensive Defog user, thanks to its strong Multi-Attack that gives it good matchups against common foes such as Mr. Rime, Unfezant, and Drifblim. Ice Beam targets Ground-types such as Stunfisk and Sandslash, while Flamethrower punishes switch-ins from Steel-types such as Klinklang and Mawile, letting Silvally-Rock utilize Defog against Mawile. U-turn establishes offensive momentum, allowing Silvally-Rock to pivot away from and accrue residual damage on checks such as Sandslash and Throh.
This Silvally-Rock set fits on balance and bulky offense builds that appreciate its offensive capabilities and good utility in Defog and U-turn. Grass-types such as Appletun, Gourgeist, and Lilligant appreciate Silvally-Rock checking Fire- and Ice-types such as Flareon and Mr. Rime, as well as Flying-types like Unfezant and Drifblim. In return, they can threaten Water- and Ground-types such as Golduck, Stunfisk, and Sandslash. Lilligant is a notable partner, able to capitalize on switches that Silvally-Rock forces to set up with Quiver Dance or heal up Silvally-Rock with Healing Wish, depending on its set. Setup sweepers such as Swords Dance Galarian Rapidash and Calm Mind Musharna benefit from Silvally-Rock clearing entry hazards and improving their longevity; in return, they can remove Fighting-types such as Throh and Falinks that trouble Silvally-Rock. Wallbreakers such as Mr. Rime and Beheeyem appreciate Silvally-Rock luring in physical walls such as Stunfisk and Sandslash to wreak havoc. Pokemon such as Klinklang and Drifblim can also lure in the aformentioned physical walls and cripple them with Toxic, allowing Silvally-Rock to potentially get off a Defog against them.
