Which is better competitively, Silvally or Eviolite Type: Null?

Is Multi-Attack and the ability to be any type with RKS System better than the extra bulk provided by Eviolite?

It has a better movepool than Type: Null. Plus, it has the ability RKS system; Which makes Silvally change type depending on the memory it’s holding. It has the signature move Multi-Attack that Type: Null cannot use. It changes its type depending on the type that your Silvally is.

However, Type: Null has weaker stats. If your Silvally is EV trained in speed and attack, it would probably KO Type: Null easily. (Silvally has way more physical attacks than special, so that’s why I say that.)

So, I would say Silvally.

Definitely Type: Null, mostly because of stats. Silvally’s only difference is a sight increase in speed, so extra bulk can really help you out.

I would go with Eviolite Type: Null. Stat-wise, their stats are the exact same except for Type: Null’s lesser speed, and even then, Type: Null’s BST is greater than every starter in the series, with the exception of Swampert, Mega starters, and Ash-Greninja. While Type: Null does not learn as many moves as Silvally, it can still be flexible to a good extent with moves like Dragon Claw, Air Slash for Fighting types, Façade, Iron Head, X-Scissor, Tri-Attack, you get the idea. And the Eviolite gives it a great Defense and Sp. Def. buff so it can take a hit better than Silvally. As much as I love Silvally, I think Eviolite Type: Null would be better for competitive.

I’ve been using Type: Null in VGC with a promising amount of success. I invested very heavily in bulk but gave it Adamant Nature with a few Atk EVs and considering it’s bulkier that Porygon2 it gets off one or two Swords Dance’s easily where Silvally cannot. From there it’s just Return / Double Edge spam and perhaps the occasional Flame Charge for Kartana or Payback for Ghost types.

I’m sorry for bumping an old thread, but I would like to point out that type: null and silvally serve different roles. Silvally is usually run offensively, with some defensive to take advantage of the optional type. It’s amazing because your opponent may have prepared for one form, but you bring a different type and change the matchup into your advantage.

On the other hand, Type; null is usually defensive. It can’t serve as well as silvally offensive-wise due to its lacking speed, so it usually wields eviolite to boost its defenses and toxic stalls. It’s an extremely bulky Pokemon, but it’s lack of recovery outside of rest, lack of utility moves and a bad defensive typing holds it back.

Once again, sorry for bumping
