[OVERVIEW]
Silvally-Fairy is a very versatile threat in the PU metagame thanks to a myriad of factors. Solid base 95 stats across the board and a wide movepool allow it to be easily constructed to fit a specific team's needs. With access to Defog, Parting Shot, and Thunder Wave, it can be a great support Pokemon, while access to Swords Dance and super effective coverage to hit common Fairy-type checks such as Togedemaru and Talonflame let it be a great offensive Pokemon. A pure Fairytyping means it's great for checking and setting up on Dark- and Fighting-types such as Scrafty and Virizion. Silvally-Fairy's biggest flaw is its lack of any form of recovery. It is also susceptible to all entry hazards and status afflictions, making it easy to wear down and unable to check what it needs to consistently. Finally, it cannot fit all of what it wants on one set, limiting its options.

evs: 252 HP / 80 Def / 176 Spe

Parting Shot allows Silvally-Fairy to pivot out on would-be threats such as Togedemaru and Toxicroak while debuffing them for its teammates. If Defog is unneeded, then Silvally-Fairy can run a status move of its choice to cripple an opposing Pokemon. Despite the Jolly nature, Flamethrower is chosen to hit Steel-types, hitting them harder than Fire Fang. The Speed investment allows Silvally-Fairy to outspeed fully invested base 85s, letting it revenge kill Pokemon such as Toxicroak and Vanilluxe in a pinch, and the rest is invested into physical bulk. Notably, it lives a +1 Life Orb Iron Head from Dragon Dance Scrafty after Stealth Rock. Silvally-Fairy pairs best with Steel-types, building a solid defensive core with them. Togedemaru is a great option, as it can sponge Poison- and Steel-type attacks while healing Silvally-Fairy with Wish, and, in return, Silvally-Fairy can tank Fighting-type attacks for it. Psychic- and Dark-type attackers such as Mesprit and Scrafty heavily appreciate the absence of Dark- and Fighting-type checks as well as the Parting Shot support, making it easier for them set up without fear of being punished.

A strong STAB move, great coverage, and two boosting moves let Silvally-Fairy tear through teams. Flame Charge is not only useful for hitting Steel-types, but it lets Silvally-Fairy boost its Speed, making it harder to revenge kill by Choice Scarf users such as Mesprit and Basculin. Rock Slide allows it to OHKO Talonflame, while Psychic Fangs lets it take care of a weakened Weezing. U-turn is also an option if Silvally-Fairy finds itself in a bad situation, however this means forgoing important coverage. Swords Dance Silvally-Fairy can be used as both a sweeper and a breaker, but be aware that it struggles to break past bulky Rock- and Ground-types such as Regirock and Aggron. Grass- and Water-types such as Virizion and Basculin take advantage of these types of Pokemon due to their super effective STAB moves while also weakening Fire- and Poison-types, making them solid partners for Silvally-Fairy. Cleaners such as Sneasel and Passimian also appreciate walls such as Regirock and Palossand being weakened so they can efficiently sweep.
