===History===
Silvally was a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} created by {{an|Faba}} to fight {{an|Ultra Beasts}}. Four years prior to the start of {{series|Sun & Moon}}, {{an|Lillie}} was attacked by {{p|Nihilego|a mysterious Ultra Beast}}, and was saved by Silvally. The fierce expression Silvally had on its face, combined with the emotional trauma of the incident, left Lillie with a fear of touching Pokémon. Following this incident, Silvally was given a restricting helmet by Faba, [[Devolution|turning it into]] {{p|Type: Null}}. Some time later, it was stolen by {{an|Gladion}}, who felt sorry for the Pokémon and wanted to rescue it from Faba's cruel experiments.

Silvally was a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} created by {{an|Faba}} to fight {{an|Ultra Beasts}}. Four years prior to the start of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', {{an|Lillie}} was attacked by {{p|Nihilego|a mysterious Ultra Beast}}, and was saved by Silvally. The fierce expression Silvally had on its face, combined with the emotional trauma of the incident, left Lillie with a fear of touching Pokémon. Following this incident, Silvally was given a restricting helmet by Faba, [[Devolution|turning it into]] {{p|Type: Null}}. Sometime later, it was stolen by {{an|Gladion}}, who felt sorry for the Pokémon and wanted to rescue it from Faba's cruel experiments.


Silvally first appeared as a Type: Null in ''[[SM037|Rising from the Ruins!]]'', in a secluded cave on [[Akala Island]]. After being called out, Silvally began to act restless due to the stress brought by its helmet. The Pokémon eventually calmed down after being comforted by Gladion. It later appeared in ''[[SM044|A Dream Encounter!]]'', where it began acting restless again. Gladion inferred from its uneasiness that it had sensed the presence of an Ultra Beast.

Silvally first appeared as a Type: Null in ''[[SM037|Rising from the Ruins!]]'', in a secluded cave on [[Akala Island]]. After being called out, Silvally began to act restless due to the stress brought by its helmet. The Pokémon eventually calmed down after being comforted by Gladion. In ''[[SM044|A Dream Encounter!]]'', it began acting restless again. Gladion inferred from its uneasiness that it had sensed the presence of an Ultra Beast.
In ''[[SM047|A Masked Warning!]]'', Silvally was seen training with Gladion on [[Ten Carat Hill]] until they were interrupted by {{Ash}}, who had been {{m|teleport}}ed there by {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Solgaleo|Nebby}}. Silvally started growling at Nebby, causing Nebby to start crying and leading Gladion to the conclusion that Nebby is the Ultra Beast his Pokémon sensed before. Later, Gladion accepted Ash's challenge to battle, choosing Silvally to fight [[Ash's Lycanroc]]. Silvally was able to overpower Lycanroc and managed to throw it in the nearby lake. This dirtied Lycanroc's fur, which temporarily caused it to go berserk. Once Lycanroc had calmed down, the battle continued, and Silvally quickly defeated Lycanroc.

Silvally briefly appeared in ''[[SM048|Night of a Thousand Poses!]]'', where it was seen with Gladion after Lillie had been teleported to him by Nebby. Upon seeing Silvally, Lillie recalled a brief scene of the Pokémon from her traumatic incident, which made her believe Silvally attacked her and once again rendered her unable to touch Pokémon. In ''[[SM049|Mission: Total Recall!]]'', Faba stole Silvally back after defeating [[Gladion's Umbreon]] and {{TP|Gladion|Lycanroc}} and putting its Trainer to sleep with {{m|Hypnosis}}. Gladion, together with {{an|Lusamine}}, later retrieved Silvally from Faba's office and used it to confront Faba, who was trying to erase Lillie's memories and cover up his mistakes. Ordered to save Lillie, Silvally [[Evolution|broke its mask]] and attacked Faba's {{p|Alakazam}}, breaking the {{m|Psychic}} hold it had on Gladion's sister. It then used the {{a|RKS System}} and a [[Dark Memory]] to turn into a {{type|Dark}} and defeated Faba's Pokémon with a Dark-type {{m|Multi-Attack}}. After being brought to safety, Lillie fully remembered Silvally's heroism four years ago and thanked it for rescuing her, which allowed her to completely overcome her fear.

[[File:Gladion battling Totem Kommo-o.png|thumb|250px|Silvally and Gladion battling the Totem Kommo-o]]
In ''[[SM051|Family Determination!]]'', Gladion used Silvally to help him and his sister overcome obstacles on the way to the [[Altar of the Sunne]]. Standing right before the altar was a horde of {{p|Jangmo-o}} and {{p|Hakamo-o}}, led by a {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{p|Kommo-o}}. Thanks to the help of Lillie and Snowy, Gladion was given enough time to give Silvally a [[Fairy Memory]], allowing it to resist Kommo-o's {{m|Clanging Scales}} and defeat it. Silvally was [[SM053|later]] used to battle Lusamine's {{p|Absol}} alongside Gladion's other Pokémon. Having its feet frozen in place by Absol's {{m|Ice Beam}}, Gladion used a [[Fire Memory]], allowing Silvally to melt the ice and counterattack. This released the hold it had on Gladion's other Pokémon thanks to its {{m|Mean Look}}. Gladion [[SM054|later]] used a [[Steel Memory]] to change Silvally to a {{type|Steel}}, allowing it to ferry him across the sea of poison the {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Nihilego}}-possessed Lusamine left behind.

In ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]'', Gladion had to calm Silvally down again. Gladion recognized its behavior as a bad omen. It was later sent out as its Trainer and the other [[Ultra Guardians]] witnessed an [[Ultra Wormhole]] form above the Altar of the Sunne, where it sensed {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Lunala|two}} {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Necrozma|presences}} coming out. In [[SM088|the next episode]], Silvally teamed up with {{AP|Pikachu}} to free Nebby and Lunala from [[Team Rocket]]'s electric net. In ''[[SM089|The Prism Between Light and Darkness!]]'', it was revealed that Silvally was able to perform {{m|Breakneck Blitz}}, which it used along with Ash's Pikachu, [[Kiawe's Marowak]], and [[Lana's Popplio]]'s [[Z-Move]]s to help separate Nebby from Necrozma and to give Necrozma enough Z-Power to turn it back into its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|true form}}. However, this attempt failed as the amount of Z-Power was too little and Necrozma used it to power itself up instead. Silvally later joined the rest of [[Alola]] in showering Necrozma with Z-Power, causing it to separate from Nebby and revert to its normal form. Necrozma still had not absorbed enough Z-Power though and tried to capture Nebby again, but was stopped in its tracks by Silvally who attacked it with {{m|Air Slash}}.

In [[SM129]], Gladion used Silvally during the [[Battle Royal]] preliminary round of the [[Manalo Conference]], where it was able to defeat several Pokémon, including a {{p|Talonflame}} and a {{p|Primeape}}. It was among the 16 Pokémon remaining at the end, securing Gladion a place in the next round.

In ''[[SM135|The Final Four!]]'', Gladion used Silvally to drive [[Tupp]], [[Zipp]], and [[Rapp]] away from [[Mimo]], whom they were harassing. Later, Silvally was the second and last Pokémon Gladion chose to use in his semifinals battle against {{an|Kiawe}}, facing his {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}}. After Silvally's foot had gotten stuck on the ground, Kiawe started performing {{m|Inferno Overdrive}}, but Gladion used a Fire Memory to turn Silvally into a {{t|Fire}} type just before the attack hit, allowing Silvally to endure the Z-Move. It then counterattacked with {{m|Crush Claw}}, defeating Turtonator and allowing Gladion to advance to the finals.

In ''[[SM138|Final Rivals!]]'', Silvally was the first Pokémon that Gladion sent out in his battle against Ash in the Manalo Conference finals. It faced off against Ash's newly-evolved {{AP|Melmetal}}. Silvally took heavy damage from Melmetal's {{m|Double Iron Bash}} and {{m|Flash Cannon}}, but eventually, Gladion used a [[Fighting Memory]] to give Silvally a type advantage, turning the tide of the battle and soon resulting in Melmetal's defeat. Silvally next faced Pikachu. Using an {{m|Electroweb}} that Silvally had dodged as a platform, Pikachu was able to launch a high-velocity surprise attack from behind and defeat Silvally with {{m|Iron Tail}}.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
Silvally appeared in ''[[JN111|The Homecoming Crown!]]'', taking a picture with Gladion, his family, and their Pokémon after reuniting with [[Mohn]]. In ''[[JN112|Helping the Hometown Hero!]]'', it trained alongside the rest of Gladion's team to prepare for Gladion's upcoming battle with Ash.


===Personality and characteristics===
===Personality and characteristics===
Silvally has the ability to sense the presence of {{an|Ultra Beasts}} and Ultra Wormholes. Silvally often becomes stressed when it senses danger, barking and lashing out when it feels threatened. As a {{p|Type: Null}}, its helmet was also a source of anxiety for it. Despite its anxiousness, it appears to trust its Trainer, and can be calmed down with Gladion's words. It eventually became able to trust Gladion enough to use the full extent of its power, breaking its restraints. It also has a strong connection to Lillie, having saved her from Nihilego during her childhood. It inadvertently caused Lillie's fear of Pokémon, and was ultimately what caused her to stop fearing them. Initially, Gladion wanted to keep Silvally's existence a secret, likely to prevent {{an|Faba}} from discovering that it was he who stole his research.

After breaking its mask, it gained access to the {{a|RKS System}}. This granted it increased versatility both in and out of battles, having used the [[Ability]] in order to traverse poisonous liquid as a {{t|Steel}} type and withstand an Inferno Overdrive as a Fire type.

===Forms===
Outside of battles and tense situations, Silvally has been shown to have a calm and amicable personality, integrating socially with other Pokémon in a normal manner despite its artificial origins.

Gladion's Silvally appears in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}} as Gladion's main Pokémon and partner. Gladion's Silvally primarily appears in it's pre-evolved state, {{p|Type: Null}} for a majority of those games. As a Type: Null, it was one of the few members of its species to be exposed to the outside world and the [[Alola]] [[region]]. Due to this, both it and its species were unheard of to other people and Pokémon. Like its Trainer, Type: Null was rather rebellious and untrusting of others due to it's history with the [[Aether Foundation]]. Type: Null is noted to be hostile both before and after its cryogenesis and had gone berserk over its RKS system implementation. It eventually gained trust and familiarity with its Trainer, and became helpful in its tasks, using the strength that Gladion had set out for. Silvally's aggressive and hostile behavior are what likely resulted in his Gladion's clothes becoming tattered.

Gladion sympathizes with Silvally, originally calling it the [[nickname]] of '''Null''' before its evolution. Type: Null was able to destroy its control mask through the bond it had created with Gladion, who had named the newly evolved Pokémon into {{p|Silvally}}. In {{g|Masters EX}}, {{mas|Gladion}}'s Sync Pair Story suggests that the name Null is no longer used, and that the two of them are different from when they once were.

As Type: Null, Silvally was one of the three Type: Null created by [[Faba]] of the [[Aether Foundation]] to be an "Anti-[[Ultra Beast|UB]] Fighting life-form". Codenamed "Beast Killer", the Type: Null were given cells taken from all known Pokémon [[type]]s with the intention of giving it the ability to {{a|RKS System|shift between types}} by holding a corresponding [[memory]], an ability originally inspired by the myths researched at [[Canalave Library]]. This ability led the Aether Foundation to give it the name '''Type: Full''' (Japanese: '''タイプ:フル''' ''Type: Full''). However, all three rejected the RKS System and went berserk. After being subdued, the three Type: Full were given limiter helmets to lessen the effects of the RKS System's rejection and were put into permanent cryogenic stasis, and the "Beast Killer" project was deemed a failure, and their name changed to Type: Null.
As a set of three, {{p|Silvally}} was originally [[artificial Pokémon|artificially created]] by the [[Aether Foundation]] to be an Anti-UB Fighting life-form as part of the [[beast killer project]] (BKP) under the direction of the Aether Foundation's president, [[Lusamine]]. The Pokémon was originally code named as '''beast killer''' (BK), and were given cells taken from all known Pokémon [[type]]s with the intention of giving it the ability to shift type while holding onto the corresponding [[memory]]. This [[Ability]] had been dubbed as the {{a|RKS System}}. This power granted it the name '''Type: Full''' (Japanese: '''タイプ:フル''' ''Type: Full''), however, like the other two, it had rejected the RKS System and went berserk. Without Lusamine's knowing, this had lead Aether Branch Chief [[Faba]], to create a helmet that would inhibit the RKS System from working. Type: Full was put into permanent cryogenic stasis, the beast killer project was deemed a failure and Type: Full was renamed to {{p|Type: Null}}.
 
At some point before the events of the games, [[Gladion]] was able to free one of the Type: Null, which he adopted as his own in the hopes of finding a way to undo the effects of the limiter helmet and allow it to use the RKS System. Gladion had stolen the Pokémon from [[Lusamine|his mother]], without her knowing, only telling [[Wicke]] of his departure with it. According to Faba in Secret Lab A, the information about Type: Null had eventually become public. Gladion, who sympathizes with Type: Null due to their shared connection with the Aether Foundation, calls it "Null". Gladion and Type: Null battle against and alongside the {{player}} at various points of the story. It battles with the player and Gladion at [[Aether Paradise]] when Gladion's sister, [[Lillie]], gets kidnapped by the foundation. At Aether Paradise, Lusamine berates Gladion for stealing her Type: Null. Sometime after the events on Aether Paradise, Type: Null and Gladion become close enough that Type: Null breaks its helmet, and evolves into Silvally, a new form named by Gladion himself according to the [[Rotom Pokédex]] in Pokémon Moon. Gladion and Silvally later challenge the player at the foot of [[Mount Lanakila]], where it holds the memory matching the [[first partner Pokémon]] of the type the player's first partner Pokémon is weak to.

Gladion, who sympathizes with Type: Null due to their shared connection with the Aether Foundation, often calls it '''Null'''.

Gladion and Silvally later challenge the player at the foot of [[Mount Lanakila]], where it holds the memory matching the {{pkmn2|starter}} of the type the player's starter is weak to.
In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, after the player becomes {{pkmn|Champion}}, and Gladion becomes acting president of the Aether Foundation, he discovers another Type: Null that was put into stasis. He entrusts it with the player at [[Aether Paradise]]'s Conservation Area, knowing they will take good care of it. In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, Gladion and Silvally leave for [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] to train after the player becomes Champion, and leaves another Type: Null with Wicke to give to the player at [[Ancient Poni Path]] on their way to [[Poni Grove]].

Gladion and Silvally are unique among all other sync pairs in Masters EX, as they are capable of changing their [[type]] to match the weakness of their target. Excluding the base {{type|Normal}} form, Silvally is weak to all other 17 types once in each of its forms.

Silvally first appeared as a Type: Null in ''[[PASM04|The Decision and the Tournament of Six]]'' when it was entered in the [[Iki Town]] festival tournament. While the competitors in the tournament were being picked, [[Gladion]] was temporarily away due to Type: Null sensing a [[Ultra Wormhole|crack in the sky]]. In the [[PASM05|second battle of the first round]], Type: Null was sent out to battle against [[Hau]]'s {{p|Komala}}, which it easily defeated despite its speed being reduced by its heavy iron mask.

In [[PASM07|the finals]], Type: Null was used to battle against {{adv|Sun}}. First, it went up against Sun's {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Meowth}}, [[Cent]], which it easily defeated while Sun was distracted. Sun then switched out for his {{p|Litten}}, {{adv|Dollar}}, but his fireballs were blocked by Type: Null's mask, preventing him from doing any damage. Sun attempted to get over this by having Dollar lodge hairballs inside of Type: Null's mask and then lighting them on fire to damage Type: Null internally, but Gladion saw through the strategy and had Type: Null shake the hairballs out.

[[File:Gladion Type Null Adventures.png|thumb|left|170px|As a Type: Null]]
Angered by Sun's apparent lack of seriousness during their battle, Gladion chastises Sun and questions why he's even participating. Gladion's words anger Sun, which causes the cast on his injured arm to burst open, revealing the [[Sparkling Stone]] underneath. A powerful energy shoots out from a crack in the sky and lands on the Sparkling Stone before moving towards Dollar. The energy powers up Dollar's {{m|Ember}}, allowing it to create a powerful {{m|Inferno Overdrive|sea of flames}} that defeats Type: Null. Despite having one Pokémon left to use, Gladion was forced to give up the tournament by [[Hala]], making Sun the victor.

In ''[[PASM12|The Wild Full-Power Pose of Fire]]'', at the [[Ruins of Life]], Type: Null was used to attack Sun, {{adv|Moon}}, and [[Kiawe]] as they were preparing to stop Gladion from kidnapping {{p|Tapu Lele}}. Hoping to have Sun defeat Gladion with the [[Z-Move]] he recently mastered, Kiawe threw his [[Z-Ring]] to Sun for him to use, only for Type: Null to destroy it. While Gladion claimed he wouldn't have lost regardless, a voice calls out and argues that Gladion wouldn't have destroyed the Z-Ring if he truly believed that. The voice is revealed to be [[Kahili]], who uses her golfing skills to send her {{p|Toucannon}} out to distract Type: Null long enough to deliver Sun his own Z-Ring.

Now with a Z-Ring of his own, Sun successfully has Dollar perform Inferno Overdrive on Type: Null. Though the attack succeeds, Type: Null doesn't faint and its mask begins to crack. Worried as to what might happen if the mask completely broke, Gladion switched Type: Null out for his {{p|Porygon}}.

In ''[[PASM14|Flash and Cosmog's Secret]]'', Gladion arrived at [[Po Town]] for the first. Immediately after his arrival, Gladion was attacked by a {{p|Salazzle}}, forcing him to have Type: Null blow it away with {{m|Air Slash}}. The Salazzle's Trainer then revealed herself to be the Team Skull Admin [[Plumeria]], who was testing Gladion to see if he was good enough to be an Enforcer.

In [[PASM19]], Gladion appeared at Po Town, where he found that [[Guzma]] had summoned multiple [[Ultra Beasts]] to attack the [[Trial Captain]]s and Hau. Type: Null was sent out to battle {{p|Pheromosa}}, {{p|Celesteela}}, and {{p|Guzzlord}} and did so with ease due to its nature as a Pokémon created specifically for battling Ultra Beasts.


In [[PASM22]], Type: Null was used to battle Celesteela and Guzzlord at {{rt|10|Alola}} in order to prevent them from reaching [[Hokulani Observatory]]. While Type: Null easily took down Celesteela, Gladion was distracted when [[Lillie]] appeared and called out to him. Guzzlord proceeded to attack Lillie, only for Type: Null to swoop in and take it down, evolving into a {{p|Silvally}} in the process.

In [[PASM23]], Gladion and Lillie rode on Silvally's back as they traveled through [[Poni Plains]] on their way to the Altar. As they passed through the area, a {{p|Xurkitree}} appeared and attacked, forcing Silvally to stop and battle it. In [[PASM25]], Silvally was used to battle a group of invading Ultra Beasts.

Later, Silvally was used to free Moon from a cage she was locked in at [[Aether Paradise]]. When Gladion battled [[Ryuki]], he lent Silvally to Moon, whose Pokémon were stolen and hidden away by [[Faba]].

====Personality and characteristics====
====Personality and characteristics====
Silvally is a powerful and determined Pokémon who is capable of handling itself. As a Type: Null, it was very sluggish due to its helmet, but made up for it with its incredible strength. Its helmet also bolstered its defense, allowing it to take multiple hits without taking any damage. It has the ability to sense [[Ultra Wormhole]]s and can fight any [[Ultra Beast]] with ease due to it being created with that goal in mind.

History

Pre-series

Silvally struggling from the stress of its helmet

Silvally was a Pokémon created by Faba to fight Ultra Beasts. Four years prior to the start of Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon, Lillie was attacked by a mysterious Ultra Beast, and was saved by Silvally. The fierce expression Silvally had on its face, combined with the emotional trauma of the incident, left Lillie with a fear of touching Pokémon. Following this incident, Silvally was given a restricting helmet by Faba, turning it into Type: Null. Sometime later, it was stolen by Gladion, who felt sorry for the Pokémon and wanted to rescue it from Faba's cruel experiments.

Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon

Silvally first appeared as a Type: Null in Rising from the Ruins!, in a secluded cave on Akala Island. After being called out, Silvally began to act restless due to the stress brought by its helmet. The Pokémon eventually calmed down after being comforted by Gladion. In A Dream Encounter!, it began acting restless again. Gladion inferred from its uneasiness that it had sensed the presence of an Ultra Beast.

In A Masked Warning!, Silvally was seen training with Gladion on Ten Carat Hill until they were interrupted by Ash, who had been teleported there by Nebby. Silvally started growling at Nebby, causing Nebby to start crying and leading Gladion to the conclusion that Nebby is the Ultra Beast his Pokémon sensed before. Later, Gladion accepted Ash's challenge to battle, choosing Silvally to fight Ash's Lycanroc. Silvally was able to overpower Lycanroc and managed to throw it in the nearby lake. This dirtied Lycanroc's fur, which temporarily caused it to go berserk. Once Lycanroc had calmed down, the battle continued, and Silvally quickly defeated Lycanroc.

RKS System activated

In Night of a Thousand Poses!, Silvally was seen with Gladion after Lillie had been teleported to him by Nebby. Upon seeing Silvally, Lillie recalled a brief scene of the Pokémon from her traumatic incident, which made her believe Silvally attacked her and once again rendered her unable to touch Pokémon. In Mission: Total Recall!, Faba stole Silvally back after defeating Gladion's Umbreon and Lycanroc and putting its Trainer to sleep with Hypnosis. Gladion, together with Lusamine, later retrieved Silvally from Faba's office and used it to confront Faba, who was trying to erase Lillie's memories and cover up his mistakes. Ordered to save Lillie, Silvally broke its mask and attacked Faba's Alakazam, breaking the Psychic hold it had on Gladion's sister. It then used the RKS System and a Dark Memory to turn into a Dark-type and defeated Faba's Pokémon with a Dark-type Multi-Attack. After being brought to safety, Lillie fully remembered Silvally's heroism four years ago and thanked it for rescuing her, which allowed her to completely overcome her fear.

Silvally and Gladion battling the Totem Kommo-o

In Family Determination!, Gladion used Silvally to help him and his sister overcome obstacles on the way to the Altar of the Sunne. Standing right before the altar was a horde of Jangmo-o and Hakamo-o, led by a Totem Kommo-o. Thanks to the help of Lillie and Snowy, Gladion was given enough time to give Silvally a Fairy Memory, allowing it to resist Kommo-o's Clanging Scales and defeat it. Silvally was later used to battle Lusamine's Absol alongside Gladion's other Pokémon. Having its feet frozen in place by Absol's Ice Beam, Gladion used a Fire Memory, allowing Silvally to melt the ice and counterattack. This released the hold it had on Gladion's other Pokémon thanks to its Mean Look. Gladion later used a Steel Memory to change Silvally to a Steel-type, allowing it to ferry him across the sea of poison the Nihilego-possessed Lusamine left behind.

In Filling the Light with Darkness!, Gladion had to calm Silvally down again. Gladion recognized its behavior as a bad omen. It was later sent out as its Trainer and the other Ultra Guardians witnessed an Ultra Wormhole form above the Altar of the Sunne, where it sensed two presences coming out. In the next episode, Silvally teamed up with Pikachu to free Nebby and Lunala from Team Rocket's electric net. In The Prism Between Light and Darkness!, it was revealed that Silvally was able to perform Breakneck Blitz, which it used along with Z-Moves from Ash's Pikachu, Kiawe's Marowak, and Lana's Popplio to help separate Nebby from Necrozma and to give Necrozma enough Z-Power to turn it back into its true form. However, this attempt failed as the amount of Z-Power was too little and Necrozma used it to power itself up instead. Silvally later joined the rest of Alola in showering Necrozma with Z-Power, causing it to separate from Nebby and revert to its normal form. Necrozma still had not absorbed enough Z-Power though and tried to capture Nebby again, but was stopped in its tracks by Silvally, who attacked it with Air Slash.

In Battle Royal 151!, Gladion used Silvally during the Battle Royal preliminary round of the Manalo Conference, where it was able to defeat several Pokémon, including a Talonflame and a Primeape. It was among the 16 Pokémon remaining at the end, securing Gladion a place in the next round.

Silvally and Gladion

In The Final Four!, Gladion used Silvally to drive Tupp, Zipp, and Rapp away from Mimo, whom they were harassing. Later, Silvally was the second and last Pokémon Gladion chose to use in his semifinals battle against Kiawe, facing his Turtonator. After Silvally's foot had gotten stuck on the ground, Kiawe started performing Inferno Overdrive, but Gladion used a Fire Memory to turn Silvally into a Fire type just before the attack hit, allowing Silvally to endure the Z-Move. It then counterattacked with Crush Claw, defeating Turtonator and allowing Gladion to advance to the finals.

In Final Rivals!, Silvally was the first Pokémon that Gladion sent out in his battle against Ash in the Manalo Conference finals. It faced off against Ash's newly-evolved Melmetal. Silvally took heavy damage from Melmetal's Double Iron Bash and Flash Cannon, but eventually, Gladion used a Fighting Memory to give Silvally a type advantage, turning the tide of the battle and soon resulting in Melmetal's defeat. Silvally next faced Pikachu. Using an Electroweb that Silvally had dodged as a platform, Pikachu was able to launch a high-velocity surprise attack from behind and defeat Silvally with Iron Tail.

Pokémon Journeys: The Series

Silvally appeared in The Homecoming Crown!, taking a picture with Gladion, his family, and their Pokémon after reuniting with Mohn. In Helping the Hometown Hero!, it trained alongside the rest of Gladion's team to prepare for Gladion's upcoming battle with Ash.

Personality and characteristics

Silvally has the ability to sense the presence of Ultra Beasts and Ultra Wormholes. It often becomes stressed when it senses danger, barking and lashing out whenever it feels threatened. As a Type: Null, its helmet was also a source of anxiety for it. Despite its anxiousness, it appears to trust its Trainer, and can be calmed down with Gladion's words. It eventually became able to trust Gladion enough to use the full extent of its power, breaking its restraints. It also has a strong connection to Lillie, having saved her from Nihilego during her childhood. It inadvertently caused Lillie's fear of Pokémon, and was ultimately what caused her to stop fearing them. Initially, Gladion wanted to keep Silvally's existence a secret, likely to prevent Faba from discovering that it was he who stole his research.

After breaking its mask, it gained access to the RKS System. This granted it increased versatility both in and out of battles, having used the Ability in order to traverse poisonous liquid as a Steel type and withstand an Inferno Overdrive as a Fire type.

Outside of battles and tense situations, Silvally has been shown to have a calm and amicable personality, integrating socially with other Pokémon in a normal manner despite its artificial origins.

Character profile

Main article: Type: Null (Pokémon)
Main article: Silvally (Pokémon)

Gladion's Silvally appears in Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon as Gladion's main Pokémon and partner. Gladion's Silvally primarily appears in it's pre-evolved state, Type: Null for a majority of those games. As a Type: Null, it was one of the few members of its species to be exposed to the outside world and the Alola region. Due to this, both it and its species were unheard of to other people and Pokémon. Like its Trainer, Type: Null was rather rebellious and untrusting of others due to it's history with the Aether Foundation. Type: Null is noted to be hostile both before and after its cryogenesis and had gone berserk over its RKS system implementation. It eventually gained trust and familiarity with its Trainer, and became helpful in its tasks, using the strength that Gladion had set out for. Silvally's aggressive and hostile behavior are what likely resulted in his Gladion's clothes becoming tattered.

Gladion sympathizes with Silvally, originally calling it the nickname of Null before its evolution. Type: Null was able to destroy its control mask through the bond it had created with Gladion, who had named the newly evolved Pokémon into Silvally. In Pokémon Masters EX, Gladion's Sync Pair Story suggests that the name Null is no longer used, and that the two of them are different from when they once were.

According to Gladion's comments in Pokémon Masters EX, after having destroyed its control mask, it had relieved itself of any pain and hatred it had before. It looks to the future and new experiences.

As a set of three, Silvally was originally artificially created by the Aether Foundation to be an Anti-UB Fighting life-form as part of the beast killer project (BKP) under the direction of the Aether Foundation's president, Lusamine. The Pokémon was originally code named as beast killer (BK), and were given cells taken from all known Pokémon types with the intention of giving it the ability to shift type while holding onto the corresponding memory. This Ability had been dubbed as the RKS System. This power granted it the name Type: Full (Japanese: タイプ:フル Type: Full), however, like the other two, it had rejected the RKS System and went berserk. Without Lusamine's knowing, this had lead Aether Branch Chief Faba, to create a helmet that would inhibit the RKS System from working. Type: Full was put into permanent cryogenic stasis, the beast killer project was deemed a failure and Type: Full was renamed to Type: Null.

At some point before the events of the games, Gladion was able to free one of the Type: Null, which he adopted as his own in the hopes of finding a way to undo the effects of the limiter helmet and allow it to use the RKS System. Gladion had stolen the Pokémon from his mother, without her knowing, only telling Wicke of his departure with it. According to Faba in Secret Lab A, the information about Type: Null had eventually become public. Gladion, who sympathizes with Type: Null due to their shared connection with the Aether Foundation, calls it "Null". Gladion and Type: Null battle against and alongside the player at various points of the story. It battles with the player and Gladion at Aether Paradise when Gladion's sister, Lillie, gets kidnapped by the foundation. At Aether Paradise, Lusamine berates Gladion for stealing her Type: Null. Sometime after the events on Aether Paradise, Type: Null and Gladion become close enough that Type: Null breaks its helmet, and evolves into Silvally, a new form named by Gladion himself according to the Rotom Pokédex in Pokémon Moon. Gladion and Silvally later challenge the player at the foot of Mount Lanakila, where it holds the memory matching the first partner Pokémon of the type the player's first partner Pokémon is weak to.

In Pokémon Sun and Moon, after the player becomes Champion, and Gladion becomes acting president of the Aether Foundation, he discovers another Type: Null that was put into stasis. He entrusts it with the player at Aether Paradise's Conservation Area, knowing they will take good care of it. In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Gladion and Silvally leave for Kanto and Johto to train after the player becomes Champion, and leaves another Type: Null with Wicke to give to the player at Ancient Poni Path on their way to Poni Grove.

It appears as a Silvally in a photograph of Sun and Moon's credits. Gladion appears alongside Silvally who is affectionately licking him.

Pokémon Masters EX

Main article: Gladion (Masters) → Silvally

Silvally appears alongside its trainer in Pokémon Masters EX as a sync pair. Gladion and Silvally are unique among all other sync pairs in Masters EX, as they are capable of changing their type to match the weakness of their target. Excluding the base Normal-type form, Silvally is weak to all other 17 types once in each of its forms.

Pokémon Adventures

Silvally first appeared as a Type: Null in The Decision and the Tournament of Six, when it was entered in the Iki Town festival tournament. While the competitors in the tournament were being picked, Gladion was temporarily away due to Type: Null sensing a crack in the sky. In the second battle of the first round, Type: Null was sent out to battle against Hau's Komala, which it easily defeated despite its speed being reduced by its heavy iron mask.

In the finals, Type: Null was used to battle against Sun. First, it went up against Sun's Alolan Meowth, Cent, which it easily defeated while Sun was distracted. Sun then switched out for his Litten, Dollar, but his fireballs were blocked by Type: Null's mask, preventing him from doing any damage. Sun attempted to get over this by having Dollar lodge hairballs inside of Type: Null's mask and then lighting them on fire to damage Type: Null internally, but Gladion saw through the strategy and had Type: Null shake the hairballs out.

Angered by Sun's apparent lack of seriousness during their battle, Gladion chastises Sun and questions why he's even participating. Gladion's words anger Sun, which causes the cast on his injured arm to burst open, revealing the Sparkling Stone underneath. A powerful energy shoots out from a crack in the sky and lands on the Sparkling Stone before moving towards Dollar. The energy powers up Dollar's Ember, allowing it to create a powerful sea of flames that defeats Type: Null. Despite having one Pokémon left to use, Gladion was forced to give up the tournament by Hala, making Sun the victor.

In The Wild Full-Power Pose of Fire, at the Ruins of Life, Type: Null was used to attack Sun, Moon, and Kiawe as they were preparing to stop Gladion from kidnapping Tapu Lele. Hoping to have Sun defeat Gladion with the Z-Move he recently mastered, Kiawe threw his Z-Ring to Sun for him to use, only for Type: Null to destroy it. While Gladion claimed he wouldn't have lost regardless, a voice calls out and argues that Gladion wouldn't have destroyed the Z-Ring if he truly believed that. The voice is revealed to be Kahili, who uses her golfing skills to send her Toucannon out to distract Type: Null long enough to deliver Sun his own Z-Ring.

RKS System activated

Now with a Z-Ring of his own, Sun successfully has Dollar perform Inferno Overdrive on Type: Null. Though the attack succeeds, Type: Null doesn't faint and its mask begins to crack. Worried as to what might happen if the mask completely broke, Gladion switched Type: Null out for his Porygon.

In Flash and Cosmog's Secret, Gladion arrived at Po Town for the first. Immediately after his arrival, Gladion was attacked by a Salazzle, forcing him to have Type: Null blow it away with Air Slash. The Salazzle's Trainer then revealed herself to be the Team Skull Admin Plumeria, who was testing Gladion to see if he was good enough to be an Enforcer.

In Truth and the Mastermind Behind Team Skull, Gladion appeared at Po Town, where he found that Guzma had summoned multiple Ultra Beasts to attack the Trial Captains and Hau. Type: Null was sent out to battle Pheromosa, Celesteela, and Guzzlord and did so with ease due to its nature as a Pokémon created specifically for battling Ultra Beasts.

In The Truth and Island Kahuna Hapu, Type: Null was used to battle Celesteela and Guzzlord at Route 10 in order to prevent them from reaching Hokulani Observatory. While Type: Null easily took down Celesteela, Gladion was distracted when Lillie appeared and called out to him. Guzzlord proceeded to attack Lillie, only for Type: Null to swoop in and take it down, evolving into a Silvally in the process.

In Battle in Vast Poni Canyon, Gladion and Lillie rode on Silvally's back as they traveled through Poni Plains on their way to the Altar. As they passed through the area, a Xurkitree appeared and attacked, forcing Silvally to stop and battle it. In Summon the Emissaries of the Moon and the Sun, Silvally was used to battle a group of invading Ultra Beasts.

In Destroy!! Results of the Training!, Silvally was used to free Moon from a cage she was locked in at Aether Paradise. When Gladion battled Ryuki, he lent Silvally to Moon, whose Pokémon were stolen and hidden away by Faba.

Personality and characteristics

Silvally is a powerful and determined Pokémon who is capable of handling itself. As a Type: Null, it was very sluggish due to its helmet, but made up for it with its incredible strength. Its helmet also bolstered its defense, allowing it to take multiple hits without taking any damage. It has the ability to sense Ultra Wormholes and can fight any Ultra Beast with ease due to it being created with that goal in mind.
