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
