Something Worth Fighting For

[OVERVIEW]
Silvally-Rock awkwardly fits between Lycanroc and Aggron as an offensive Rock-type. Despite Silvally-Rock having more bulk than Lycanroc to ensure safer Swords Dance setup, Lycanroc is still an overall better breaker with higher Attack, Speed, and access to Lycanium Z. Aggron, on the other hand, has a secondary Steel typing that gives it a plethora of notable resistances, has a higher Attack stat, gets access to a recoil-less Head Smash and STAB Heavy Slam, and can hold a worthwhile item such as a Choice Band. Silvally-Rock's mediocre stats, movepool, and fixed ability and item prevent it from ever outshining its competition in any scenario.

Depending if it wants to take on an offensive Swords Dance or pivoting role, Silvally-Rock should try to make use of its decent bulk and good Speed tier to either put offensive pressure on the opposing team or provide momentum for teammates. However, Silvally-Rock faces too much competition from Aggron and Lycanroc in particular to stand out. While it does have access to Parting Shot, this feature alone doesn't remotely make Silvally-Rock worth using.
