What is a good ability for my Silvally in BH?

Question

Hello

Now my claimed legendary is Silvally, hes my defogger, and lead in my Trick Room team, basically just to parting shot and make it easier for my Trick Room setter to do his thing, and thats what he always did.

So, what ability should I get? Preferably one that works on all of its typings. Im thinking of Regenerator, and Sheer Force, since it has a lot of Sheer Force boosted moves, and Regenerator is Regenerator.

Silvally is currently illegal in Smogon's Balanced Hackmons (though that might change according to what the game mechanic researchers found recently), but you can use https://www.smogon.com/stats/2023-06/moveset/gen9almostanyability-1760.txt and https://www.smogon.com/stats/2023-06/moveset/gen9balancedhackmons-1760.txt to get an idea of which abilities are useful in general.

Answer 1

This answer assumes you're playing with gen 9 mechanics, you're not allowed to change your Pokemon's moves, and you still need memories to change Silvally's type. If these assumptions are wrong, please tell me and I'll either write a different answer or put this question back on the unanswered list.

In AAA, the viable Pokemon with the most similar stats to Silvally are Mew, wash Rotom, Alolan Muk, and Corviknight, and all 4 of these Pokemon usually use defensive movesets with either a 50% healing move or regenerator. Silvally can't learn any 50% healing moves, so I recommend this moveset.

Silvally @ steel memory
Ability: regenerator
Tera type: ghost
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Careful nature
- toxic
- parting shot/U-turn
- defog
- multi-attack

Toxic can threaten both offensive and defensive Pokemon, parting shot and U-turn let Silvally sometimes switch after the opponent moves and take full advantage of regenerator, and defog is useful on a Pokemon that resists stealth rock.
