ZU [SS] Silvally-Bug [DONE]

[5Dots]

Worst of the Silvallies
[OVERVIEW]
Despite Silvally-Bug's decent stats, its horrific defensive typing and useless item and ability make it completely outclassed. Other Silvally formes like Silvally-Dark and Silvally-Poison have better offensive and defensive utility by virtue of their superior typings. Crustle serves as a much better Bug-type physical sweeper thanks to its access to Shell Smash and Knock Off and additional Rock STAB. Silvally-Bug also suffers from being unable to fit all of its desired coverage and being terribly weak to entry hazards without being able to run Heavy-Duty Boots.

[SET]
name: Swords Dance
move 1: Swords Dance

move 4: Psychic Fangs

evs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]
Silvally-Bug can attempt to leverage its decent bulk, Speed, and power to clean late-game and use its coverage to overwhelm the opposition. Due to its atrocious typing, vulnerability to residual damage, and awkward coverage choices, it is outclassed as a Bug-type physical sweeper by Crustle, which has Smell Smash, Knock Off, and additional STAB in Rock.

Worst of the Silvallies
[OVERVIEW]
Despite Silvally-Bug's decent stats, its horrific defensive typing as well as its fixed item slot and ability makes it completely outclassed id rather say its item and ability are useless. Other Silvally formes like Silvally-Dark and Silvally-Poison have better offensive and defensive utility by virtue of their superior typings. While the lack of common Bug-types may make Silvally-Bug more viable, Crustle serves as a much better Bug-type physical sweeper thanks to its access to Shell Smash, Knock Off, and additional Rock STAB. Silvally-Bug also suffers from being weak to all other entry hazards, a weakness to Stealth Rock, and an awkward offensive movepool that makes it difficult to offensively synergize. last sentence is inaccurate. Silvally has a 4mss and cant fit enough coverage in 3 moves, and is extremely weak to hazards without the capacity of using boots

[SET COMMENTS]
Silvally-Bug can attempt to leverage its decent bulk, Speed, and power to wallbreak early-game and use its coverage to overwhelm the opposition. nah silvally bug works better late game because its coverage sucks and it needs key threats like Rotom to be weaken / removed. Just say +2 multi attack lets it break through weakened walls while pfangs targets Sawk and Qwilfish and Rock Slide targets Rapidash and Articuno. Due to its atrocious typing, vulnerability to residual damage, and awkward coverage choices, it is outclassed by other Silvally formes like Silvally-Dark and Silvally-Poison, who can both set up more effectively thanks to their better typings, and Crustle, which has Smell Smash, and additional STAB in Rock.
