Naive Nature
- Work Up
- Multi-Attack
- Flamethrower
- Grass Pledge / Ice Beam
This is the Work Up set from Smogon.
Set Analysis
Work Up is pretty obvious, as it boosts your attack and special attack, which is really important for this set. Multi Attack is for STAB. Flamethrower provides coverage that allows you to beat steel types like Ferroseed and Perrserker, with the former being 4x times weak to Flamethrower. Grass Pledge allows you to hit ground types super effectively, along with hitting Qwilfish for nuetral damage. You can use Ice Beam for coverage against ice types, but doesn't really cover anything else that Grass Pledge can't hit, except for hitting Altaria for super effective damage and being able to hit Skuntank for nuetral damage.
Teammates
Thwackey is a good partner for Silvally-Poison, since Thwackey can summon Grassy Terrain, which Silvally-Poison appreciates since it halves the power of Earthquake, and also gives Grass Pledge a boost. Thwackey can also get rid of Pokemon like Silvally-Ground, whose ground STAB isn't halved by Grassy Terrain. Since Silvally-Poison is weak to psychic moves, psychic type checks like Morpeko and Thievul are appreciated. In turn, Silvally-Poison can check fighting types and get rid of fairy types, which Morpeko and Thievul are weak against.
