[OVERVIEW]
Silvally-Flying is just not that great in general. It is outclassed by other Flying-types like Dodrio, Scyther, and Swanna. Dodrio and Scyther are both faster, stronger, and have access to Swords Dance. Swanna is also faster and has room for an item to increase its attacking power. These Pokemon also have the luxury of not having average stats across the board. As with any Flying-type, Silvally-Flying is also susceptible to Stealth Rock, which is unwanted on any team, especially with it being the entry hazard remover. With its best special STAB move being Air Slash and it lacking desired coverage moves, it is just not viable.

evs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
[SET COMMENTS]
Silvally-Flying uses this set to function as an offensive pivot with Defog. As with other Flying-types, it is immune to Spikes, Toxic Spikes, and Sticky Web. It has a good Speed tier and can give momentum back to its team with Parting Shot. Given its movepool, lone Flying typing, occupied item slot, lack of any kind of recovery, and susceptibility to Stealth Rock, Silvally-Flying lacks the capability to function as an offensive Flying-type. Swanna is more preferred over Silvally-Flying as a defogger since it's faster and is able to recover any lost HP with Roost. It also has a better offensive and defensive typing. Other Silvally formes are also recommended for Defogging since the other viable formes in the PU metagame can come in on Stealth Rock a couple of extra times to Defog. These formes include Silvally-Fairy, Silvally-Dragon, and Silvally-Ghost.
