[SET COMMENTS]
Swords Dance turns Silvally-Water into one of the most potent offensive threats in the tier. Backed up by an absurdly strong STAB move in Multi-Attack, Silvally-Water can absolutely shred through teams at any point in the game even without an Attack boost, with its coverage in Psychic Fangs letting it also serve as a Toxicroak check. Because Silvally-Water is great at forcing switches, U-turn lets it easily generate momentum for its team. U-turn also lets Silvally-Water pivot out versus slower checks like Wishiwashi and Eldegoss. Alternatively, Flame Charge can turn Silvally-Water into a potent late-game sweeper capable of outspeeding revenge killers like Choice Scarf Indeedee-F and Toxicroak.

Silvally-Water has application on builds from bulky offense to hyper offense as a pivot or late-game sweeper that also contributes some defensive utility in soft checking foes like Silvally-Fire, Rapidash, and Piloswine. Silvally-Water commonly forces in Grass- and Water-types such as Eldegoss, Gourgeist-S, Wishiwashi, and Quagsire, so wallbreakers like Abomasnow, Nasty Plot Skuntank, and Drampa make excellent partners. If using it on a more offensive team, Abomasnow can also provide Aurora Veil support, which makes it easier for Silvally-Water to set up and sweep. In return, Silvally-Water checks Fire-types for Abomasnow and applies pressure to special walls like Clefairy for Drampa. Indeedee-F is also a nice partner because it heavily pressures physical walls like Cofagrigus, Sandaconda, and Ferroseed, and Choice Scarf variants can provide Healing Wish support, which makes it easier for Silvally-Water to wallbreak for itself early- and mid-game.

[SET COMMENTS]
Defog Silvally-Water brings a useful combination of utility to the table. Thanks to its strong STAB Multi-Attack, Silvally-Water can adequately pressure most Stealth Rock setters, which makes it easy to get opportunities to use Defog. Additionally, Psychic Fangs is helpful so Silvally-Water can reliably revenge kill Toxicroak. Silvally-Water is also a great pivot thanks to U-turn, easily capitalizing off of switches into Pokemon like Eldegoss, Gourgeist-S, and Wishiwashi. An alternative EV spread of 192 Atk / 128 SpA / 184 Spe with a Naive nature can be run with Flamethrower; this gives Silvally-Water enough Speed to outrun Rotom-S and Rotom-F and lets it OHKO Abomasnow with Flamethrower.

This Silvally-Water variant is a great fit on balance and bulky offense teams because of the great amount of utility it brings between Defog and U-turn. Silvally-Water commonly draws in opposing Water-types like Wishiwashi, Lanturn, and Quagsire; pairing it with wallbreakers like Abomasnow, Flapple, and Gourgeist-S that prey on such foes is a great way to keep up pressure on the opponent. Abomasnow is also able to pressure Dragon-types like Silvally-Dragon and Drampa. Because Silvally-Water is effective at dealing with Ground-types, Pokemon like Togedemaru, Rapidash, Garbodor, and Galarian Stunfisk appreciate its support. In return, Garbodor absorbs Toxic Spikes, while Togedemaru and Galarian Stunfisk can pivot into Electric-type moves.

Defog Silvally-Water brings a useful combination of utility to the table. Thanks to its strong STAB Multi-Attack, Silvally-Water can adequately pressure most Stealth Rock setters, which makes it easy to get opportunities to use Defog. Additionally, Psychic Fangs is helpful so Silvally-Water can reliably revenge kill Toxicroak. (any mention of why this set would still want uturn, especially over flamethrower for Ferro or even SD for clefairy?) An alternative EV spread of 192 Atk / 128 SpA / 184 Spe with a Naive nature can be run with Flamethrower; it gives Silvally-Water enough Speed to outrun Rotom-S and Rotom-F and lets it OHKO Abomasnow with Flamethrower.

This Silvally-Water variant is a great fit on balance and bulky offense teams because of the great amount of utility it brings between Defog and U-turn. Silvally-Water commonly draws in opposing Water-types like Wishiwashi, Lanturn, and Quagsire; pairing it with wallbreakers like Abomasnow, Flapple, and Gourgeist-S that prey on such foes is a great way to keep up pressure on the opponent. Abomasnow is also able to pressure opposing Dragon-types like Silvally-Dragon and Drampa. Because Silvally-Water is effective at dealing with Ground-types, Pokemon like Togedemaru, Rapidash, and Galarian Stunfisk appreciate its support. (Try to fit Garbodor in the last sentence, and add a point that it absorb's Tspikes for silvally, as otherwise relying on watervally as ur only hazard removal can be dodgy if it has to switch into and become debilitated by tspikes.) (Mention that Ground-types teammates like Sanda and Pilo help absorb Electric coverage from Toge and Lanturn so that vally isn't as easily revenge killed by them)
