Silvally-Ghost has a niche on offensive and Spikes stacking teams as a late-game cleaner thanks to its good offensive typing, strong signature move in Multi-Attack, access to boosting moves in Swords Dance and Flame Charge, and ability to spinblock. Multi-Attack alongside Swords Dance allows Silvally-Ghost to effectively clean up weakened teams, and Flame Charge lets it boost past and outspeed potential revenge killers, such as Froslass and Decidueye. Additionally, U-turn lets Silvally-Ghost pivot into teammates that can threaten common Normal- and Dark-type switch-ins to it. However, it has competition with Silvally-Dark, as Silvally-Dark offers a similar level of offensive pressure while maintaining a higher level of defensive presence, along with other offensive Ghost-types like Rotom and Decidueye.

Silvally-Ghost functions best on teams with Spikes support and heavy offensive pressure. Teammates such as Garbodor, Ferroseed, and Weezing can be used for their ability to set entry hazards, which, in combination with U-turn, chip Silvally-Ghost's checks in order to help it clean late-game. Dark-types such as Skuntank and Alolan Persian help mitigate Silvally-Ghost's weakness to Ghost- and Dark- types, with Alolan Persian also offering Parting Shot and Taunt to keep up momentum. Fighting-types such as Sawk and Toxicroak benefit from Silvally-Ghost bringing them in against Normal- and Dark-types with U-turn. Electric-type pivots like Togedemaru, Lanturn, and Magneton can also lure in slower Ghost-types such as Rotom, Decidueye, and Cofagrigus that Silvally-Ghost can revenge kill.

Silvally-Ghost's good offensive typing, it's strong STAB signature move Multi-Attack combined with Swords Dance allowing it to effectively clean up weakened teams, as well as it's and its ability to stop Rapid Spin gives it a niche on offensive teams and Spike stacking teams as a late-game (Add hyphen) cleaner and spin blocker. However, (Add comma) it is largely outclassed by has competition with Silvally-Dark outside of these teams, as Silvally-Dark offers a similar level of offensive pressure while maintaining a higher level of defensive presence, (Add comma) and other offensive Ghost-types like Rotom and Decidueye ("largely outclassed" is a strong way of putting what is essentially a sidegrade, especially when SilvGhost has the spinblocking niche as you put earlier. I merged the next sentence here because it sounds like SilvGhost can't handle them, which isn't true as it revenge kills them offensively. the "uptic of offensive Ghost-types" is actually a good thing offensively for SilvGhost, but only bad from a teammbuilding competition standpoint, so it's better to fit that with SilvDark competition point). Silvally-Ghost also suffers from the prevalence of threatening ghost type Pokemon such as Rotom and Decidueye causing an uptick in Pokemon that can effectively handle them (See above). Flame Charge allows Silvally to boost past pokemon such as non Choice Scarf (Remove hyphen) Togedemaru Sawk and Rotom along with unboosted Gourgeist-S, helping it clean late-game (AH) (Silvally needs 2 Flame Charge boosts to outspeed scarf Toge, so Sawk is a better example. Unboosted Gourg-S is clarified because that mon also runs a scarf set that outspeeds +1 Silvally). U-turn allows Silvally-Ghost to pivot out of unfavorable 1v1's matchups and apply pressure to the opposing team as well as luring Dark-type (AH) monsters such as Persian-Alola Persian Alola, Silvally-Dark, and Skuntank in and pivoting into a Pokemon to threaten them, allowing Silvally-Ghost to clean late-game (AH) once it's checks have been weakened. Max Speed and Attack with a Jolly nature is used to speed tie with opposing Silvallys as well as maximize damage output. (Fluff. This set's spread is very standard and self explanatory)

Silvally-Ghost functions best on teams with Spike support or heavy offensive pressure. Teammates such as Garbodor, Ferroseed, and Weezing can be used for their ability to set hazards, which in combination with U-turn chip Silvally-Ghost's checks helping it to clean late-game (AH). Dark-types (AH) such as Skuntank and Persian-Alola Alolan Persian help mitigate Silvally-Ghost's weakness to Ghost- (AH) and Dark-types (AH), with Persian-Alola Alolan Persian also offering U-turn Parting Shot (it doesn't get U-turn but I believe this is what you meant) and Taunt support to keep up momentum. Fighting-type's Fighting-types such as Sawk and Toxicroak are also able to benefit from Silvally-Ghost luring in Normal- (AH) and Dark-types (AH) that resist or are immune to Multi-Attack, bringing them in on U-turn and applying immediate pressure on the opponent. (Make a point that Silvally-Ghost can revenge kill slower Ghost-types like Cofagrigus, Rotom, and Decidueye with the help from pivots like Togedemaru and Lanturn that lure them in)

Okay, lotta bold here lol! But don't be discouraged, as a lot of the analysis was good. Most of the changes were minor GP stuff, like how "Dark-types" have a hyphen but "Choice Scarf" doesn't, or how Alolan formes are called "Alolan Persian" and not "Persian-Alola".

QC 1/2 once implemented!
 
Silvally-Ghost's good offensive typing, it's strong STAB signature move Multi-Attack combined with Swords Dance allowing it to effectively clean up weakened teams and it's ability to stop Rapid Spin gives it a niche on offensive teams and Spike stacking teams as a late-game cleaner and spin blocker.
You may as well indicate the combination of Flame Charge and Swords Dance is what lets Silvally-Ghost clean late-game; the Speed boost is helpful in ensuring it's not revenge killed by Pokemon like Froslass and Choice Scarf Decidueye. Also, make sure to fix the grammar up in this sentence.

However, it has competition with Silvally-Dark outside of these teams, as Silvally-Dark offers a similar level of offensive pressure while maintaining a higher level of defensive presence, along with other offensive Ghost-types like Rotom and Decidueye.
It has competition with Silvally-Dark in general; Silvally-Dark can fit on pretty much any build you'd use Silvally-Ghost on. It's not necessary to specify that the competition exists solely on builds not previously mentioned.

Flame Charge allows Silvally to boost past pokemon such as non Choice Scarf Sawk and Rotom along with unboosted Gourgeist-S, helping it clean late-game.
You can remove this sentence given the first suggested edit in my check; that should be fine for covering Flame Charge's purpose.

U-turn allows Silvally-Ghost to pivot out of unfavorable matchups and apply pressure to the opposing team as well as luring Dark-type monsters such as Persian Alola, Silvally-Dark, and Skuntank in and pivoting into a Pokemon to threaten them, allowing Silvally-Ghost to clean late game once it's checks have been weakened.
This sentence is far too long. You can just cut it down to like "Silvally-Ghost's access to U-turn lets it pivot into teammates that can threaten common Normal- and Dark-type switch-ins to it."

Fighting-type's such as Sawk and Toxicroak are also able to benefit from Silvally-Ghost luring in Normal and Dark types that resist or are immune to Multi-Attack, bringing them in on U-turn and applying immediate pressure on the opponent. Pivots like Togedemaru and Lanturn can also lure in slower Ghost-type pokemon such as Rotom, Decidueye, and Cofagrigus that Silvally-Ghost can revenge kill.
Awkward wording in the first sentence, maybe change to something like "Fighting-types such as x and y benefit from Silvally-Ghost bringing them in against Normal- and Dark-types with U-turn." In the second sentence, I think you can probably generalize to Electric-type pivots and add Magneton to that list; off the top of my head all of them except maybe Rotom are good at luring in Pokemon Silvally-Ghost can adequately take advantage of.

QC 2/2 when done, make sure to proofread even the sentences I didn't make note of in my check, though.
 
Please know this is an AM check :P Okay a lot of mine were just small things with adding hyphens to "Electric-type" etc for example. Also on how Alolan formes are called for example, Alolan Persian and not Persian-Alola. Like Ho3n stated before! GJ :P

Silvally-Ghost's good offensive typing, it's (RA) strong STAB signature move Multi-Attack combined with Swords Dance allows it to effectively clean up weakened teams, Flame Charge allowing Silvally-Ghost to boost past potential revenge killers such as Froslass and Choice Scarf Decidueye, and it's (RA) ability to stop Rapid Spin gives it a niche on offensive teams and Spike stacking teams as a late-game cleaner and spin blocker (Since you mentioned it can stop Rapid Spin there is not any need to say it is a spin blocker). However, it has competition with Silvally-Dark, as Silvally-Dark offers a similar level of offensive pressure while maintaining a higher level of defensive presence, along with other offensive Ghost-types like Rotom and Decidueye. U-turn lets Silvally-Ghost pivot into teammates that can threaten common Normal- and Dark-type switch-ins to it.

Teammates such as Garbodor, Ferroseed, and Weezing can be used for their ability to set hazards, which in combination with U-turn chip Silvally-Ghost's checks helping it to clean late-game.

Silvally-Ghost's good offensive typing, its strong STAB signature move Multi-Attack combined with Swords Dance allows it to effectively clean up weakened teams , Flame Charge allowing Silvally-Ghost to boost past potential revenge killers such as Froslass and Choice Scarf Decidueye, and ability to stop Rapid Spin gives it a niche on offensive teams and Spike stacking teams as a late-game cleaner. Silvally-Ghost has a niche on offensive and Spikes stacking teams as late-game cleaner thanks to its good offensive typing, strong signature move in Multi-Attack, access to boosting moves in Swords Dance and Flame Charge, and ability to spinblock. Multi-Attack alongside Swords Dance allows Silvally-Ghost to effectively clean up weakened teams, and Flame Charge lets it boost past and outspeed potential revenge killers, such as Froslass and Decidueye. (what you had before felt very awkward to follow, so i split it up into two sentences while still conveying what you were trying to say) However, it has competition with Silvally-Dark, as Silvally-Dark offers a similar level of offensive pressure while maintaining a higher level of defensive presence, along with other offensive Ghost-types like Rotom and Decidueye. U-turn lets Silvally-Ghost pivot into teammates that can threaten common Normal- and Dark-type switch-ins to it.

Silvally-Ghost functions best on teams with Spikes support or and (gonna assume that you can have both on one team) heavy offensive pressure. Teammates such as Garbodor, Ferroseed, and Weezing can be used for their ability to set entry hazards, which, (AC) in combination with U-turn, (AC) chip Silvally-Ghost's checks helping it in order to help it clean late-game. Dark-types such as Skuntank and Alolan Persian help mitigate Silvally-Ghost's weakness to Ghost- and Dark- types, with Alolan Persian-Alola also offering support through Parting Shot and Taunt support to keep up momentum. Fighting-types (remove apostrophe) such as Sawk and Toxicroak benefit from Silvally-Ghost bringing them in against Normal- and Dark-types (spacing) with U-turn. Electric-type pivots like Togedemaru, Lanturn, and Magneton can also lure in slower Ghost-types Pokemon (consistency) such as Rotom, Decidueye, and Cofagrigus that Silvally-Ghost can revenge kill.
