Silvally-Psychic acts as a powerful offensive pivot, wallbreaker, and late-game cleaner, threatening common walls such as Qwilfish, Throh, and Poliwrath; however, being vulnerable to Sucker Punch and faster Ghost-types in Choice Scarf Rotom and Gourgeist-S limits its sweeping capabilities. Silvally-Psychic is also often outclassed by better Silvally formes with more desirable types such as Dark and Poison. Flame Charge allows Silvally-Psychic to outspeed Alolan Persian and Choice Scarf users, such as Sawk and Rotom, while also providing coverage for Steel-types such as Klinklang and Alolan Dugtrio. U-turn retains momentum and weakens its checks such as Alolan-Persian, Skuntank, and Uxie. X-Scissor provides coverage for the aforementioned Dark- and Psychic-types and hits harder than U-turn while also not forcing Silvally-Psychic out after it sets up.

Silvally-Psychic fits best on offense teams, where it can break through Fighting-type foes such Gurdurr, Throh, and Poliwrath. Removing them allows Steel- and Normal-types such as Klingklang and Kangaskhan to wreck havoc. Dark-types such as Alolan Persian, Spiritomb, and Skuntank are problematic, so checks to them such as Alcremie and Rhydon are welcomed, as are Dark- and Ghost-type teammates like Skuntank and Gourgeist-S to draw in and chip these threats. Opposing Ghost-types such as Choice Scarf Rotom and Gourgeist-S can revenge kill Silvally-Psychic, so checks to them including Rhydon and Miltank and are appreciated.

Silvally-Psychic has no other viable options.

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

**Dark-types**: Dark-type Pokemon such as Alolan Persian, Morpeko, and Skuntank can all threaten Silvally-Psychic with their STAB attacks while being immune to Multi-Attack. In addition, Alolan Persian deters Swords Dance thanks to Foul Play, making it a very consistent counter.

**Ghost-types**: Ghost-type Pokemon such as Gourgeist-S and Rotom can revenge kill Silvally-Psychic with their STAB attacks. Choice Scarf Gourgeist-S is especially notable, outspeeding Silvally-Psychic even after a Flame Charge.

**Steel-types**: Steel-type Pokemon such as Klingklang and Alolan Dugtrio easily take most of Silvally-Psychic’s attacks and hit hard back. However, Silvally-Psychic can break through them with Flame Charge after a Swords Dance boost.

**Physical Walls*: Miltank, Rhydon, and Tangela can often trade hits with Silvally-Psychic thanks to their great bulk. However, they are threatened by a boosted Multi-Attack.

Silvally-Psychic acts as a powerful offensive pivot, wallbreaker, and late-game cleaner. With its high base power STAB Multi-Attack paired with Swords Dance, threatening Pokemon such as Qwilfish, Throh, and Poliwrath (Fluff + your second sentence wasn’t a complete sentence anyways. Your second sentence instead can be a point about how SilvPsychic competes with better Silvally formes that also summarizes why its worse in comparison; for example, bringing up its vulnerabilities to faster Dark-types and Sucker Punch limits cleaning capabilities). Flame Charge allows Silvally-Psychic to outspeed Choice Scarf users such as Sawk and Rotom, whilst also providing coverage for Steel-types such as Perrserker, Klinklang, and Alolan Dugtrio which resist Multi-Attack. (Fluff. The reader knows Steel resists Psychic) U-turn allows Silvally-Psychic to pivot, retaining retains momentum and weakens its checks such as Alolan-Persian, Skuntank, and Uxie (Fluff. The reader knoes what U-turn does, but keeping the momentum and coverage aspects are still important). X-Scissor is a coverage move used to hit the aforementioned Dark and Psychic-types harder than U-turn, whilst also not forcing itself out after setting up a Swords Dance. (Great point)

Silvally-Psychic fits best on offense teams, where it can utilize its wallbreaking prowess against Fighting-type foes such Gurdurr, Throh, and Poliwrath. This allows Steel- (hyphen) and Normal-types such as Klingklang, Perserker, and Cinccino to wreck havoc in their absence. Jynx also benefits from Silvally-Psychic's presence, forming a Psychic spam core, wearing down shared checks for a potential late-game sweep (I’m a little skeptical of this point but if you’ve sene this core in action and work then thats fine to keep; if this point is an assumption for what could work, I’d remove it). Dark-types such as Alolan Persian, Spiritomb, and Skuntank are problematic, so checks to them such as Alcremie and Rhydon are welcomed. Ghost-types such as Choice Scarf Rotom and Gourgeist-S can revenge kill Silvally-Psychic, so checks to them including Miltank, Eldegoss, and the aforementioned Rhydon, in addition to Miltank are appreciated. (Added an example, reformatted)

Other Options
=============

No viable other options. (Not that ive used it but if we wanna mention anything here it would be Defog over Flame Charge if the team has no other entry hazard control. Up to you)

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

**Dark-types**: Dark-type Pokemon such as Alolan Persian, Spiritomb Morepeko (viability), and Skuntank can all threaten Silvally-Psychic with their STAB attacks whilst being immune to Multi-Attack. In addition, Alolan Persian circumvents setup thanks to Foul Play, making it a very consistent check counter.

**Ghost-types**: Ghost-type Pokemon such as Gourgiest-S and Rotom can revenge kill Silvally-Psychic with their STAB attacks. Choice Scarf Gourgiest-S is especially notable, outrunning Silvally-Psychic even after a Flame Charge.

**Steel-types** Steel-type Pokemon such as Klingklang, Perserker, and Alolan Dugtrio resist Silvally-Psychic's STAB attack. easily take most of Silvally-Psychic’s attacks and hit hard back. (Fluff again + this is a more nuanced description of the matchups) However, Silvally-Psychic can break through them with Flame-Charge after a Swords Dance boost.

**Physical Walls*: Miltank, Rhydon, and Tangela can often trade hits with Silvally-Psychic thanks to their great bulk. They cannot take a boosted Multi-Attack very well however.

QC 1/2. Lets wait for shifts till we do QC 2. Great job, just remember to remove or rewrite fluffy points like simple type matchups and move descriptions for more meta-specific information. You usually do a great job on this regardless though so keep up the good work!

However, being vulnerable to Sucker Punch limits its sweeping capabilities Kang and Shiftry are quite rare tbh, being weak to faster Ghost (Scarf Tom, Froslass, and Gourg-S) is more problematic and is often outclassed by better Silvally formes with more desirable types such as Dark and Poison. Flame Charge allows Silvally-Psychic to outspeed Alolan Persian and Choice Scarf users such as Sawk and Rotom, whilst also providing coverage for Steel-types such as Klinklang, and Alolan Dugtrio.
