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.
