Stats & Training
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.
Its trust in its partner is what awakens it. This Pokémon is capable of changing its type, a flexibility that is well displayed in battle.
Although its name was Type: Null at first, the boy who evolved it into this form gave it the name by which it is now known.
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.
