[OVERVIEW]
Silvally-Ground is a strong setup sweeper thanks to its solid bulk, coverage, and offensive typing. This allows it to set up easily, as it can take neutral hits well and exploit Pokemon like Choice Scarf Togedemaru. However, it still has to compete with the other Silvally formes. Silvally-Fairy, -Steel, and -Ghost are often easier to fit onto teams with their defensive utility. Silvally-Ghost and Silvally-Water can also be more menacing offensively.

name: Swords Dance
move 1: Swords Dance

[SET COMMENTS]
Silvally-Ground is able to maximize its sweeping potential with Rock Slide's coverage in combination with its STAB Multi-Attack and Speed boosts from Flame Charge. Rock Slide hits Flying-types such as Charizard and Archeops and does more damage to Bug-types like Ribombee and Scyther than Flame Charge. Silvally-Ground is most comfortable with a defensive backbone that takes advantage of its typing, fitting best on bulky offense teams with Spikes support to better facilitate a sweep; this makes Froslass and Garbodor valuable partners. In return, Silvally-Ground can check Pokemon like Lycanroc and Magmortar, respectively, that normally muscle past them. Silvally-Ground can hardly do anything to Weezing and thus appreciates other wallbreakers like Nasty Plot Toxicroak and Mesprit to remove it. Choice Scarf Mesprit makes for a good partner, as it can punish Weezing and provide Healing Wish support should Silvally-Ground take a Toxic from Regirock or Glare from Sandaconda while setting up. Healing Wish support also allows Silvally-Ground to be more easily used defensively early-game, not minding damage from Garbodor's Rocky Helmet and Aftermath or chip from Togedemaru's U-turn. Mesprit appreciates Silvally-Ground checking Steel-types like Togedemaru and Aggron effortlessly in exchange. Silvally-Ground is able to also run a mixed Work Up set with Multi-Attack and BoltBeam coverage to cover the entire tier, most notably hitting Weezing significantly harder. However, it lacks the raw power behind Swords Dance and is harder to pull off an entire sweep with.

[OVERVIEW]
Silvally-Ground is a strong set-up sweeper between its solid bulk, coverage, and offensive typing. Its bulk and Ground-typing allow it to set up easily as it can take neutral hits well and exploit Pokemon like Choice Scarf Togedemaru. Not fearing Thunder Wave from Silvally-Steel or Static from Stunfisk is a nice benefit too. (neither r common) However, it still has to compete with the other Silvally-formes. Silvally-Fairy, -Steel, and -Ghost are often easier to fit onto teams with their defensive utility. (ghostvally is also scarier offensively) Silvally-Ground also does not need to diversity its coverage options, somewhat making it more predictable compared to the other Swords Dance Silvally-formes. (not sure if i understand this point. if if really wants to, it can w/ like psychic fangs for weezing)

Choice Scarf Mesprit makes for a good partner as it can punish Weezing and provide Healing Wish support should Silvally-Ground take a Toxic from Regirock or Glare from Sandaconda while setting up. (also lets it play a more defensive role early-game if it needs to)(also helps w garbodor which is p important since tht thing does like 40% w aftermath + rhelmet) Mesprit appreciates Silvally-Ground removing Steel-types like Togedemaru and Aggron effortlessly in exchange. Scyther is able to draw in Pokemon like Gigalith and Regirock that Silvally-Ground can Swords Dance on too. (just v basic info tht idt is important enough to warrant a mention) Silvally-Ground is able to also run a mixed Work Up set with Multi Attack and BoltBeam coverage to cover the entire tier, most notably hitting Pokemon like Weezing and Alolan Exeggutor significantly harder. However, it lacks the raw power behind Swords Dance and is harder to pull off an entire sweep with.

Silvally-Ground is able to maximize its sweeping potential with Rock Slide's coverage in combination with its STAB and Flame Charge speed boosting. Rock Slide is able to hit Flying-types such as Charizard and Archeops and does more damage to Bug-types like Ribombee and Scyther than Flame Charge. Silvally-Ground appreciates Bulky Offense (no need to capitalize this) teams with Spikes support to better facilitate a sweep, making Froslass and Garbodor valuable. In return, it can check Pokemon like Regirock (for some reason a +2 super effective STAB move doesn't OHKO Regirock, which makes Groundvally a shaky check at best since 2 Body Presses deal 80% at minimum and it usually runs Toxic; I think Aggron would fit better here because of this) and Magmortar. Silvally-Ground can hardly do anything to Weezing and appreciates other breakers like Nasty Plot Toxicroak and Mesprit to remove it. Choice Scarf Mesprit makes for a good partner as it can punish Weezing and provide Healing Wish support should Silvally-Ground take a Toxic from Regirock or Glare from Sandaconda while setting up. Having Healing Wish support also allows Silvally-Ground to be used defensively more easily in early game, not minding damage from Garbodor's Rocky Helmet and Aftermath or chip from Togedmaru U-turn. Mesprit appreciates Silvally-Ground removing Steel-types like Togedemaru and Aggron (if you implement the change about Regirock above then you might want to change this example) effortlessly in exchange. Silvally-Ground is able to also run a mixed Work Up set with Multi Attack and BoltBeam coverage to cover the entire tier, most notably hitting Pokemon like Weezing and Alolan Exeggutor significantly harder. However, it lacks the raw power behind Swords Dance and is harder to pull off an entire sweep with.

Rock Slide is able to hit Flying-types such as Charizard and Archeops and does more damage to Bug-types like Ribombee and Scyther than Flame Charge these dont feel like they need to be 2 separate sentences, could be fit together a bit better, but more of an aesthetic thing since the info is fine. Silvally-Ground appreciates Bulky Offense not capitalized and also very vague, would rather talk more specifically than whatever BO rly means teams with Spikes support to better facilitate a sweep, making Froslass and Garbodor valuable. In return, it can check Pokemon like Regirock and Magmortar I don't get what this means, checking regirock and magmortar are vastly different things. is the connection that they kinda beat froslass and garb? hard to tell. this is very disconnected, i dont rly get an idea of where groundvally fits in general. Silvally-Ground can hardly do anything to Weezing and appreciates other breakers like Nasty Plot Toxicroak and Mesprit to remove it. Choice Scarf Mesprit makes for a good partner as it can punish Weezing and provide Healing Wish support should Silvally-Ground take a Toxic from Regirock or Glare from Sandaconda while setting up. Having Healing Wish support also allows Silvally-Ground to be used defensively more easily in early game, not minding damage from Garbodor's Rocky Helmet and Aftermath or chip from Togedmaru U-turn. Mesprit appreciates Silvally-Ground removing Steel-types like Togedemaru and Aggron effortlessly in exchange better to talk about checking, it's not like u should rly expect it to KO these mons without resistance. Silvally-Ground is able to also run a mixed Work Up set with Multi Attack and BoltBeam coverage to cover the entire tier, most notably hitting Pokemon like Weezing and Alolan Exeggutor significantly harder. However, it lacks the raw power behind Swords Dance and is harder to pull off an entire sweep with.
