Silvally Best Moveset
AbilityRKS System changes typing based on held memory drives, making the moveset any type the team needs. 95 across every stat is balanced but not exceptional at anything. E-tier because losing the held item slot to memory drives means no competitive items, and 95/95 offenses stay moderate regardless of typing.
RKS System changed type with Memory discs in Gen VII (Sun & Moon). 95 across every stat. Normal-type base form without a disc was generic.

Silvally Weakness
Fighting moves hit Silvally for super-effective damage. The upside? Ghost-type moves can't touch it at all. Silvally's overall bulk (95/95/95) lets it take a hit or two from most weaknesses before going down.

Breeding
Shiny Silvally
Silver-gray Silvally looks like a newer model off the assembly line. The lighter, more polished head and crest suit an artificial chimera designed in a lab. For something built by scientists, the "chrome upgrade" angle works.

Base Stats
You won't find a real weakness in Silvally's stat line. It's well-rounded for the Synthetic Pokemon, and what it does with that depends on moveset and items. Yields 3 HP EVs, on a slow 1.25M XP grind.
The final factor needed to release this Pokémon’s true power was a strong bond with a Trainer it trusts.
