[OVERVIEW]

Silvally-Ground struggles to find a place in the metagame due to its shallow movepool and lack of immediate power. The abundance of Water- and Ice-types that can either take a hit from it or outspeed it such as Jellicent, Floatzel, Aurorus, and Froslass severely limit its usability. It is also outclassed both offensively and defensively by Mudsdale, which has more power, checks Pokemon much better, and can run a healing item. Other Swords Dance sweepers like Lycanroc and Dodrio are much faster than Silvally-Ground and can hold Z-Crystals to provide much more offensive pressure. Meanwhile, other forms of hazard control like Altaria and Alolan Sandslash have better typings and no weakness to Toxic Spikes. The niche it has over these other Pokemon is its ability to use Defog while still having an offensive presence due to Ground's fairly good coverage.

[SET]
name: Fast Pivot
move 1: Multi-Attack
move 2: Rock Slide
move 3: Parting Shot / U-turn
move 4: Defog / Swords Dance
item: Ground Memory
ability: RKS System
nature: Jolly
evs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]

This set can try to be an offensive presence while still offering team support with Defog, or it can choose to be a sweeper with Swords Dance. The choice between Parting Shot or U-turn depends the choice between the sets, but both allow it to pivot out against things like Mesprit and Claydol. This is outclassed by Mudsdale due to Silvally-Ground's lack of recovery and initial power, as well as other Swords Dance users and Defoggers like Dodrio, Lycanroc, Skuntank, and Alolan Sandslash.

However, Silvally-Ground can still pull off a decent sweep in certain situations due to Ground's good offensive matchup.(Mention better SD mons and Defoggers)

[SET COMMENTS]
**This should be 2-3 sentences:
- One sentence should be enough to briefly outline what this set attempts to do.
- If the Pokemon isn't fully outclassed but still unviable, such as in the case of Girafarig, you can describe why; fully outclassed Pokemon, such as Pidgeot, do not require another sentence here.
- The last sentence should describe why the set isn't worth using; reiterate which Pokemon outclass it.
There is NO NEED TO ELABORATE ON SPECIFIC MOVES/EVs/ETC. THIS IS NOT A FORMAL ANALYSIS.**(u forgot to delete this part)

This set can try and be a decent late-game sweeper once faster and bulkier foes are KO'd or worn down. Multi-Attack and Rock Slide provide good coverage, while U-turn allows it to pivot out against things like Mesprit and Claydol. Defog can be used over Swords Dance if you prefer utility over a sweeper. (It's not supposed to focus on every move, just what the goal of the mon is overall)This is outclassed by Mudsdale due to its low longevity and lack of initial power.(This makes it sound like mudsdale is the one with less longevity and power)(Mention the better SD mons/defoggers)

i dont know what this last sentence means, it just doesn't wrap up the overview very well at all

[SET COMMENTS]
This set can try and be a decent late-game sweeper once faster and bulkier foes are KO'd or worn down. Defog can be used if you need hazard control, while Swords Dance can be used to make Silvally-Ground more offensively threatening. the set has defog first but you keep mentioning its sweeper SD function first, pick one order. The choice between Parting Shot or U-turn depends on your third move but both allow it to pivot out against things like Mesprit and Claydol. This is outclassed by Mudsdale due to Silvally-Ground's lack of recovery and initial power, as well as other Swords Dance users and Defoggers like Dodrio, Lycanroc, Skuntank, and Alolan Sandslash.
