[SET COMMENTS]
Silvally-Fighting is an excellent mixed wallbreaker and pivot thanks to its typing and movepool beating common Silvally checks, Defoggers, and entry hazard setters like Rhydon, Altaria, and Qwilfish in one teamslot. U-turn maintains momentum and chips bulkier checks like Alcremie, Eldegoss, and Articuno. Thunderbolt 2HKOes Qwilfish and 3HKOes Poliwrath and Wishiwashi, while Ice Beam targets Tangela, Altaria, and Gourgeist-S. These coverage moves allow Silvally-Fighting to beat common Fighting-type checks that would otherwise switch in safely.

Silvally-Fighting fits well on VoltTurn teams thanks to its good Speed tier, bulk, and coverage against defensive staples like Cramorant, Qwilfish, and Alolan Persian. Fast and slow pivots like Rotom formes, Cinccino, Wishiwashi, and Uxie chip down checks like Articuno, Stunfisk, and Rotom. Silvally-Fighting heavily struggles to break through Fairy-types and generally bulky Pokemon like Eldegoss or Stunfisk without support, so partners that can take these Pokemon on, like Alolan Dugtrio, Perrserker, and Piloswine, can help it pivot more easily. In return, Silvally-Fighting can take on bulky staples weak to its coverage, like Tangela and Poliwrath, which the aforementioned Steel-types struggle against. Checks to Rotom and Gourgeist-S, such as Stunfisk, Eldegoss, and Sap Sipper Miltank, are appreciated. Stunfisk and Miltank can use Toxic to wear down checks to Silvally-Fighting, like Articuno and opposing Stunfisk. Eldegoss and Miltank can provide cleric support to alleviate Silvally-Fighting's vulnerability to residual damage.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============

A fully physical Swords Dance set alongside Flame Charge and either Iron Head or Psychic Fangs makes Silvally-Fighting a late-game sweeper. At +2, a healthy Silvally-Fighting can lure in and defeat Alcremie with Iron Head, something other Fighting-types like Sawk cannot do, though this set can't beat defensive Pokemon like Qwilfish, Tangela, and Altaria. This set also faces tough competition from other Silvally formes due to their better offensive or defensive typings.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Fairy-types**: Alcremie and Clefairy do not take much damage from any of Silvally-Fighting's attacks and can freely set up on it, forcing it to switch.

**Bulky Pokemon**: Articuno, Eldegoss, Stunfisk, and Uxie don't take much damage from even Silvally-Fighting's super effective coverage attacks. Articuno and Eldegoss can heal damage off with Roost and Regenerator, respectively, though Stunfisk and Uxie lack reliable recovery.

**Ghost-types**: Spiritomb can switch into any of Silvally-Fighting's attacks with impunity and use it as setup fodder. More offensive Ghost-types, like Rotom and Gourgeist-S, are immune to its STAB move and can revenge kill it with prior damage, though they can't repeatedly switch into Silvally-Fighting's coverage.

**Faster Pokemon**: With some chip damage, faster Pokemon like Cinccino, Ninetales, and Basculin can revenge kill Silvally-Fighting, though they do not want to directly switch into any of its attacks.

Silvally-Fighting is an excellent mixed attacker thanks to its good offensive typing, good offensive stats and Speed, and vast coverage options. That doesn't really tell me why you would use FightVally. FightVally is very unique breaker because it takes advantage of numerous vally check being weak to fighting (rhydon, miltank, piloswine, alolan persian) and it beats standard fighting checks that beat U-Turn enables it to pivot out of bulkier threats like Alcremie, Uxie, and Articuno. I feel like I'm repeating myself over other analyses you wrote, uturn is about momentum and chipping, your current sentence is kinda hazy on that matter. Thunderbolt 2HKOs Qwilfish and 3HKOs Poliwrath and Wishiwashi, while Ice Beam targets Tangela, Altaria, and Gourgeist-Small, deterring them from otherwise switching in easily. They allow it to beat common fighting checks (tbolt for qwilfish and cram, ice beam for altaria, rotom-s, gourgeist formes, and tangela) A Naive nature is preferred to boost the power of its coverage moves. Fluff

Silvally-Fighting synergizes well on VoltTurn teams thanks to its good Speed tier and coverage against bulky staples like Cramorant, Qwilfish, and Alolan Persian. Fast and slow pivots to help it get into the field safely, like Rotom formes, Cinccino, Wishiwashi, and Clefairy, are appreciated. FightVally doesn't struggle to get into the field safely due to its great bulk, just mention it likes being part of voltturn core to chip down its checks like uxie, articuno, and rotom, and that it likes bulky pivot being able to come into faster attackers Silvally-Fighting heavily struggles to break against Fairy-types and generally bulky Pokemon like Eldegoss or Stunfisk without support, so partners that can take these Pokemon on, like Alolan Dugtrio, Perrserker, and Piloswine can make its pivoting capabilities easier. Silvally-Fighting gets walled by Fairy-types like Alcremie and Clefairy, so Steel-types to take them on, like Perrserker and Alolan Dugtrio, would greatly help it. You just said it on the previous sentence In return, Silvally-Fighting can take on bulky staples, like Tangela and Poliwrath, where the aforementioned Steel-types would otherwise struggle against. some words on rotom and gourg checks would be appreciated

Defog is plausible since Silvally-Fighting beats common entry hazard setters and removers like Qwilfish, Cramorant, and Altaria, though it needs all the coverage moves to maintain its niche. i'd rather use defog gurdurr tbh A fully physical Swords Dance set alongside U-turn and Flame Charge allows it to become a late-game sweeper while still maintaining its pivoting capabilties, though it once again loses out on its ability to beat defensive Pokemon like Qwilfish, Tangela, and Altaria. Uturn SD FightVally is really terrible, replace Uturn with a coverage move like Iron Head or Psychic Fangs This set also faces tough competition from other Silvally formes due to their better offensive or defensive typings.

Checks and Counters

**Fairy-types**: Alcremie and Clefairy do not take much damage from any of Silvally-Fighting’s attacks and can freely set up on it in return, forcing it to pivot.

**Bulky Pokemon**: Articuno, Eldegoss, and Stunfisk don’t take much damage even from Silvally-Fighting’s super effective coverage attacks. Articuno and Eldegoss can heal damage off with Roost and Regenerator, respectively, though Stunfisk lacks reliable recovery and can be worn down over the course of a game.

**Faster Pokemon**: With some chip damage, faster Pokemon like Choice Scarf Rotom, Ninetales, and Basculin can revenge kill it, though they do not want to directly switch into any of its attacks.

**Ghost-types**: Choice Scarf Rotom and Gourgeist-Small is are immune to Silvally-Fighting’s primary STAB move and can revenge kill it with prior damage, though they take significant damage from its coverage moves. can't repeatedly switch into silvally-fighting's stab moves.

(status moves is a little vague, you could probably just split this second part into a separate sentence talking about Toxic wearing down the Pokemon FightVally can't break by itself and the fact that Heal Bell / Aromatherapy help vs status especially cause this mon has not recovery)

A fully physical Swords Dance set alongside Flame Charge and either Iron Head or Psychic Fangs allows it to become a late-game sweeper, though it loses out on its ability to beat defensive Pokemon like Qwilfish, Tangela, and Altaria. (I think this undersells the physical Swords Dance set a little; mainly that +2 Iron Head deals with Alcremie unlike Sawk and that Alcremie is also one of the best switch-ins to its usual set, but other than that this is fine since it is ultimately still an OO.) This set also faces tough competition from other Silvally formes due to their better offensive or defensive typings.
