[SET COMMENTS]
Silvally-Electric functions as a solid mixed wallbreaker thanks to its great coverage breaking down common Fire / Water / Grass cores. Multi-Attack is Silvally strongest STAB move with no drawbacks, hitting specially bulky Pokemon such as Articuno and Clefairy harder than Thunderbolt. Surf targets Ground-types like Rhydon, Piloswine, and Alolan Dugtrio, and Ice Beam provides coverage against Altaria, Tangela, and Thwackey. Flamethrower can be used to hit Shedinja, Klinklang, and the aforementioned Grass-types, at the cost of not being able to hit Altaria as hard. Work Up allows Silvally-Electric to boost pass walls such as Clefairy, Miltank, and Alcremie depending on their sets.
Silvally-Electric fits best on balance teams that can use its wallbreaking prowess to break down opposing cores on balance builds. Stunfisk can be problematic for Silvally-Electric, as Ice Beam and Surf only 4HKO it. Skuntank and Choice Scarf Rotom can help wear down Stunfisk as well as cripple it with Corrosive Gas and Trick, respectively. Thwackey can also pressure Stunfisk and also pivot in Silvally-Electric safety. In return, Silvally-Electric threatens out Pokemon that wall Thwackey such as Tangela and Altaria. Switch-ins to Ground-types Rhydon, Piloswine, and Alolan Dugtrio are needed, so teammates like Tangela, Poliwrath, and Miltank fit well to help cover them.

Other Options
=============
Silvally-Electric has no other viable options.
Checks and Counters
===================
**Ground-types**: Stunfisk is the best of the Ground-types to counter Silvally-Electric, being 4HKOed by Silvally-Electric's coverage moves. Rhydon and Piloswine also work well to check Silvally-Electric, however both need to be vary of switching into Surf. Alolan Dugtrio outspeeds Silvally-Electric and OHKOes with Earthquake, but also cannot switch into Surf.
**Bulky Foes**: Miltank can comfortably tank any of Silvally-Electric's attacks and can chip it down with Seismic Toss or stall it out with Toxic. Alcremie can also survive Silvally-Electric's attacks relatively easily and can boost up alongside Silvally-Electric's Work up with Acid Armor and Calm Mind.
**Faster Threats**: Choice Scarf Sawk and Rotom can outspeed and revenge kill Silvally-Electric. Naturally faster Pokemon such as Froslass and Rapidash can also revenge kill once its chipped down into range.
