SET COMMENTS]
Silvally-Grass serves as a decent cleaner thanks to beating Ground-types like Rhydon, Piloswine, and Palossand, all common Silvally checks. Rock Slide nails Flying-types like Articuno, Altaria, and Golbat that would comfortably switch into Multi-Attack. Flame Charge increases Silvally-Grass's cleaning potential, with it outpacing Rapidash, Accelgor, and Choice Scarf users like Sawk and Rotom after a boost. Flame Charge also is its this set's strongest move against some Grass-resistant Pokemon like Klinklang and Ivysaur.

Silvally-Grass fits nicely on hyper offense teams looking for a Water-, Ground-, and Grass-resistant sweeper. Specially offensive wallbreakers and cleaners such as Lunatone, Skuntank, and Rotom work well with it, taking advantage of their typing or power to force out the walls Silvally-Grass struggles with, gaining setup opportunities. In return, Silvally-Grass can break through special walls like Articuno and Cryogonal. Before a boost, faster Pokemon like Froslass, Rapidash, and Choice Scarf users like Sawk and Jynx can revenge kill it without too much trouble. Teammates like Piloswine, Alcremie, and Articuno that can switch into them and threaten them off. Other physical attackers like Swords Dance Rapidash and Lycanroc-N can weaken Grass-type checks like Tangela and Ivysaur so Silvally-Grass can sweep late-game. Tangela is particularly difficult to deal with; Knock Off users like Sawk and Uxie can make progress and make it easier to deal with later on.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============

Flamethrower deals more damage to Grass-resistant Pokemon like Klinklang, Tangela, and Ivysaur, but losing Flame Charge worsens Silvally-Grass's cleaning potential.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Grass-types**: Grass-types like Tangela, Gourgeist-S, and Lurantis can freely switch into all of Silvally-Grass's standard attacks and can whittle it down with their own. All of them can heal damage off with their recovery moves, with Tangela gaining additional recovery with Regenerator.

**Poison-types**: Poison-types like Silvally-Poison, Skuntank, and Ivysaur resist Multi-Attack and can heavily threaten Silvally-Grass with their STAB attacks. While Qwilfish is neutral to Multi-Attack, it can cripple Silvally-Grass with Thunder Wave or chip it with entry hazards and Rocky Helmet.

**Fire-types**: Rapidash and Ninetales can outspeed Silvally-Grass and revenge kill it. Coalossal can cripple it with Flame Body. All of them dislike switching into a boosted Rock Slide, however.

**Sap Sipper Pokemon**: Miltank and Bouffalant can switch in comfortably against any of Silvally-Grass's moves and proceed to wear it down with status or attack it directly.

**Faster Pokemon**: While Silvally-Grass has good bulk and Speed, it can be picked off by naturally faster Pokemon like Accelgor, Froslass, and Rapidash, as well as Choice Scarf users like Sawk, Rotom, and Alolan Persian.

SET COMMENTS]
Silvally-Grass serves as a decent cleaner thanks to its wide coverage i would emphasize on the offensive benefits of the grass stab in zu (super effective against grounds like rhydon, pilo, and palo which are common vally checks) and decent resistances to what?. Rock Slide nails Flying-types like Articuno, Altaria, and Golbat that would comfortably switch into Multi-Attack. Flame Charge increases Silvally-Grass's cleaning potential, outpacing Rapidash, Accelgor, and Choice Scarf users like Sawk and Rotom after a boost. it also gives stronger damage against grass resists weak to it like grass-, steel-, and bug-types.

Silvally-Grass fits nicely hyper offense teams looking for a Water, Ground, and Grass sweeper resist that can also boost its Speed. Specially offensive wallbreakers and cleaners, such as Jynx, Skuntank, and Rotom even if all these examples work, i think it would be great to have something more specific to ho than them, like lunatone work well with it, overwhelming physical walls and opposing Grass-types like Miltank and Tangela that would otherwise wall it. in ho, it rarelly works like this. these sweepers get setup opportunities on the walls grassvally forces in. the pokemon that weaken its checks are similar physical attacekrs that share checks like sd rapidash and sd lycanroc In return, Silvally-Grass can break through special walls like Articuno and Cryogonal. Before a boost, faster Pokemon like Froslass and Rapidash and Choice Scarf users like Sawk and Jynx can revenge kill it without too much trouble. Having other offensive Pokemon like Alolan Dugtrio and Gourgeist-S can overwhelm them faster attackers? nah grass checks like tangela and miltank, allowing Silvally-Grass to sweep late-game. move this where i mentioned sd dash.

Other Options
=============

U-turn maintains momentum against Grass-types like Tangela and Lurantis, but it hates giving up Rock Slide's coverage or Flame Charge's cleaning potential. I would replace it with flamethrower: stronger coverage but worsens the cleaning potential

Checks and Counters
===================

**Grass-types**: Grass-types like Tangela, Gourgeist-S, and Lurantis can freely switch into all of Silvally-Grass' standard attacks and can whittle it down with their own. Both of them can recover damage off with Regenerator and Synthesis, respectively. not sure if respectively works in this context where you have 3 examples for 2 options.

**Poison-types**: Poison-types like Silvally-Poison, Skuntank and Ivysaur resist Multi-Attack and can heavily threaten Silvally-Grass with their STAB attacks. While Qwilfish is neutral to Multi-Attack, it can wear Silvally-Grass down with hazards and Rocky Helmet chip. it can also cripple it with twave

**Fire-types**: Rapidash and Ninetales can outspeed Silvally-Grass and can revenge kill it. Coalossal can cripple it with Flame Body. All of them dislike switching into a boosted Rock Slide, however.

**Sap Sipper Pokemon**: Miltank and Bouffalant can switch in comfortably against any of Silvally-Grass's moves and can proceed to wear it down with status or attack it directly.

**Faster Pokemon**: While Silvally-Grass has good bulk and Speed, it can be picked off by naturally faster Pokemon like Accelgor, Froslass and Rapidash, as well as Choice Scarf users like Sawk, Rotom, and Kabutops.
