[OVERVIEW]
Silvally-Dark is able to serve as a setup sweeper with its natural bulk and coverage. Its bulk and Speed distinguish it from Absol as a Dark-type wallbreaker, as it is more capable of pulling off a full sweep and is not reliant on Sucker Punch. Silvally-Dark can set up on Choice-locked Mesprit and Passimian as well as passive Pokemon such as Uxie, proceeding to wreak havoc with +2 Multi-Attack allowing Silvally-Dark to muscle past many Pokemon. However, it struggles to compete with the other Silvally formes in both defensive utility and offensive potency due to its typing. Scrafty is another notable Dark-type sweeper that, while slower, is not bothered by status, has access to Knock Off utility, allows the use of another Silvally forme, and is much more self sufficient.

Silvally-Dark can break walls other Silvally formes struggle with such as Palossand, Uxie, and Gourgeist-XL with its Dark-type Multi-Attack, in addition to generally bulky Pokemon like Gigalith. Iron Head hits common Dark-type answers such as Aromatisse and Whimsicott and can pick off weakened Scrafty. Flame Charge allows Silvally-Dark to clean weakened teams, allowing it to outspeed Pokemon like Lycanroc, Ribombee, and Choice Scarf users like Mesprit. Silvally-Dark greatly appreciates Spikes support to better facilitate a sweep, making Froslass and Ferroseed great partners. Froslass stands out, as it can bait Knock Off from Choice Scarf Passimain to give Silvally-Dark a setup opportunity. Poison-types such as Qwilfish and Weezing are able to deal with Fairy-types like Aromatisse and provide additional entry hazards. In return, Silvally-Dark threatens Psychic-types like Mesprit. Special wallbreakers like Galarian Articuno and Ribombee are solid partners to pressure Pokemon such as Regirock and Weezing that Silvally-Dark can't muscle past even after a Swords Dance. They are also able to check Fighting-types such as Gallade and Scrafty. Healing Wish support from Mesprit allows Silvally-Dark to play more aggressively and wear down its own checks while also drawing in Pokemon like Uxie and Gigalith.

Silvally-Dark is able to serve as a notable set up sweeper with it's natural bulk and coverage. Its bulk and speed-tier is its main way to distinguish itself from Absol as a Dark-type breaker as it is more capable of pulling off a full sweep and is not reliant on Sucker Punch. Silvally-Dark can set up on Choice-locked Mesprit and Passimian as well as passive Pokemon such as Uxie. Though, it struggles to compete with the other Silvally formes in both defensive utility and offensive potency with its typing. Scrafty is also a notable Dark-type sweeper that, while slower, can evade status and allows the use of another Silvally forme. (scrafty also has knock off, which allows it to support itself and its teammates and doesn't limit it to just sweeping late-game.)

Silvally-Dark can break walls other Silvally-formes struggle with such as Uxie and Gourgeist-XL (there's nothing necessarily wrong with these examples, but i'd argue smth like palossand should be here over either one / first, since it's more common than the two of them.) with its Multi Attack, in addition to generally bulky Pokemon like Gigalith. Iron Head hits common Dark-type resists such as Aromatissue Aromatisse and Whimsicott. Flame Charge allows Silvally-Dark to clean up once outspeeding Pokemon like Lycanroc, Ribombee, and opposing Choice-Scarf users like Mespirt. Silvally-Dark greatly appreciates Spikes support to better facilitate a sweep, making Froslass and Accelgor (go with smth like ferroseed over accelgor. different types of spikers, ik, but the former is much more common and consistent.) great partners. Froslass stands out as it can bait Knock Off from Choice Scarf Passimain to give Silvally-Dark a setup opportunity. Poison-types such as Qwilfish and Weezing are able to deal with Fairy-types like Aromatisse and provide additional hazards. In return, Silvally-Dark is able to easily threaten Psychic-types like Mespirt Mesprit. Special wallbreakers like Galarian Articuno and Ribombee are solid partners to pressure Pokemon like Regirock and Weezing Silvally-Dark can't muscle past even after a Sword Dance. They are also able to check Fighting-types such as Gallade and Scrafty.

Silvally-Dark is able to serve as a notable small point but notable isn't super really accurate and it doesn't add much set up sweeper with it's natural bulk and coverage. Its bulk and speed-tier is its main way to distinguish itself from Absol as a Dark-type breaker as it is more capable of pulling off a full sweep and is not reliant on Sucker Punch. Silvally-Dark can set up on Choice-locked Mesprit and Passimian as well as passive Pokemon such as Uxie. Though, it capitalize struggles to compete with the other Silvally formes in both defensive utility and offensive potency with its typing. Scrafty is also a notable Dark-type sweeper that, while slower, can evade status, has access to Knock Off utility, allows the use of another Silvally forme and is much more self sufficient.

Silvally-Dark can break walls other Silvally formes (remove hyphen) struggle with such as Palossand, Uxie, (comma) and Gourgeist-XL with its Dark-type (I think it would be helpful to mention this) (fair enough) Multi-Attack (add hyphen), in addition to generally bulky Pokemon like Gigalith (why does Silvally-Dark do better with Gigalith than other forms? If it doesn't than this can be deleted). (nah keep, no harm in mentioning a positive quality regardless and the analysis is not just a comparison to other silvallys) Iron Head hits common Dark-type resists (Pokemon that resist Dark / Dark-type answers / Dark-type switch-ins) such as Aromatisse and Whimsicott, in addition to picking (remove comma) and can pick (either works) off weakened Scrafty. Flame Charge allows Silvally-Dark to clean up once outspeeding weakened teams, allowing it to outspeed Pokemon like Lycanroc, Ribombee, and opposing Choice Scarf (hyphen->space) users like Mesprit.
