Silvally-Fighting @ Fighting Memory
Ability: RKS System
EVs: 252 HP / 32 Atk / 88 Def / 136 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Multi-Attack
- U-turn
- Toxic
- Defog

Bulky Silvally-Fighting has solidified itself as one of the metagame’s most reliable hazard removers and best Knock Off switch-ins. It has good matchups versus many Stealth Rock setters, allowing it to reliably switch into and Defog against Pokemon like Golem and Sandslash. Silvally-Fighting can also cripple checks such as Gourgeist-XL, Silvally-Ghost, and Choice Band Granbull with Toxic, wearing them down over time. Bulky Silvally-Fighting run enough Speed to outspeed positive base 80 Speed Pokemon such as Grumpig and Shiftry while maintaining as much bulk as possible, letting it act as a Normal check for offensive teams. Because Grumpig and Shiftry are hit super effectively by U-turn, they are forced to switch out, keeping momentum going for Silvally-Fighting's team. Bulky Silvally-Fighting tends to form the defensive backbone of offensive teams, so pairing it with teammates such as Metang and Komala can help check threats to Silvally-Fighting like Beheeyem, Mr. Mime, and Swanna.

Notably, Silvally-Fighting has a good matchup versus the majority of Stealth Rock setters, allowing it to reliable switch into and Defog against Pokemon such as Golem and Sandslash. Silvally-Fighting can also cripple checks such as Gourgeist-XL, Silvally-Ghost, and Pinsir (Pinsir is not really a check since it doesn't do much back, replace with something else) with Toxic, which helps Silvally-Fighting wear them down over time. Bulky variants of Silvally-Fighting are also notable for running enough Speed investment to outspeed Jolly and Timid Pokemon with base 80 Speed such Grumpig and most importantly Shiftry, while maintaining as much overall bulk as possible. (This line can be condensed) Furthermore, Grumpig and Shiftry are hit super effectively threatened by U-turn, which forces them to switch out and keeps momentum going for Silvally-Fighting's team.

Character count was ~100 over the limit, so I had to remove some fluff and rephrase a few things to get it under 1000.
