[OVERVIEW]
While Silvally's decent Attack in tandem with its access to Swords Dance and decently powerful STAB moves make it seem threatening, there isn't much reason to use it over other Normal-types. Stoutland and Kangaskhan more easily and consistently threaten balance and offense, respectively, due to their better coverage in moves like Superpower and Earthquake, their access to Scrappy, and the latter even possessing priority in Fake Out. Although they are frailer than it, Dodrio, Zangoose, and Alolan Raticate also outclass Silvally as Normal-type setup sweepers because of their secondary typings, their actually useful abilities, their more immediate power, their access to priority moves, and the former two's better Speed tiers.

[SET COMMENTS]
This set tries to use Silvally's powerful Breakneck Blitz, good coverage options, and Parting Shot to make it a threatening setup sweeper that can break through bulky Pokemon as well as potentially pivot. While Double-Edge is powerful, it wears Silvally down and cuts into its good bulk. Furthermore, Silvally is overly reliant on setting up to wallbreak due to its Attack stat only being decent. Other Normal-type wallbreakers and setup sweepers like Stoutland, Dodrio, and Alolan Raticate are more reliable and consistently put more pressure on opposing teams, meaning that there is little reason to consider Silvally before any of them.
