[OVERVIEW]
Even though Silvally-Steel bears a nice set of resistances, well-rounded stats, and the functionality of a Defogger that can pivot, its passivity and lack of any recovery options make it a lackluster choice that requires immense team support to function. Furthermore, Silvally-Steel struggles to use Defog against entry hazard setters with better matchups or super effective coverage moves such as Steelix, Rhydon, Mega Glalie, and Druddigon, and its typing can leave it vulnerable to common threats like Passimian, Incineroar, and Braviary. Because of all of this, Pokemon like Dhelmise, Rotom, and Blastoise are preferred options for entry hazard removal thanks to their improved longevity, better offensive presences, or utility options like Will-O-Wisp and Scald.
[SET]
name: Defog
move 1: Defog
move 2: Flamethrower
move 3: Toxic / Multi-Attack
move 4: U-turn / Parting Shot
item: Steel Memory
ability: RKS System
nature: Calm
evs: 252 HP / 196 SpD / 60 Spe
[SET COMMENTS]
This set allows Silvally-Steel to function as a Defogger that can generate momentum by pivoting out of poor matchups; it can also utilize its typing and bulk to periodically switch into Pokemon such as Comfey and Choice-locked Aerodactyl while being able to easily remove Toxic Spikes set by Weezing and defensive Garbodor. Flamethrower and Toxic are also nice options that can wear down switch-ins like Steelix and Incineroar. However, Silvally-Steel's inability to hold Leftovers or a pinch Berry makes it unable to recover health on its own, and its poor offensive presence allows various wallbreakers and setup sweepers like Magmortar and Scrafty to take advantage of it.
