Silvally(JP) is a species of Pokémon of the series of the same name. It is a Normal-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in the seventh generation in Pokémon Sun and Moon. It evolves from Type: Null with happiness. It can change its type based on which Memory it is holding.
Physiology and Behavior[]
Silvally is a quadrupedal, chimeric Pokémon with traits from a variety of creatures, with an appearance nearly identical to its pre-evolution, Type: Null. It has a mammalian head with mechanical parts. Covering most of its head and neck is a thick, silver mane that extends down over its chest. Its blunt snout is metallic on the bridge of its nose and upper jaw. Silvally has a triangular black nose framed by three red lines, pointed ears with bright pink and black insides, one visible fang on each side of its lower jaw, and a slight overbite. Its eyes are bright silver, have no visible pupils, and appear to be surrounded by an empty, black space. On each side of its head is a circular, metallic drive, with a white circle crossed by a metal line. On top of its head is a large, axe-like fur or feather crest. The tip of the crest has a hooked, metallic piece, while the back has three white feathers. Silvally's lower body is mostly covered in short, black fur. The lower half of each front leg is insectoid and green with spikes along the back, while the rear legs have thick purple scales on the flanks, shins, and the top of the foot. All four of its feet have three toes, but in the front two toes face forward and one backward. Additionally, the hind paws have a short, gray claw on the back of the ankle. Its fishlike tail consists of two dark blue spines with a white fin stretched between them. The top spine has a line of short, gray spikes.
Once Type: Null finds a trusted partner and forms a powerful bond with them, it destroys its control mask and finally evolves into Silvally or Type: Full, as it used to be called. After its evolution, it reactivates its RKS System, gaining the ability to change its typing through the Memories created by the Aether Foundation; this ability was based on the powers of a certain Pokémon depicted in myths. It reverts back to its natural, wild temperament, but it is still extremely loyal to its Trainer, and it will even risk its own life in its partner's defense. Gladion was the one who coined Silvally’s name, it was named as Type: Full due to its ability to change between all Types.
Forms[]
Thanks to its RKS System, Silvally is capable of changing its form and type according to the memory attached to it; its eyes, spikes, drives, and fin membrane all change color to match its current type.
Appearances[]
Origin[]
Silvally, like its pre-evolved form, seems to be based on a chimera, a hybrid composed of different animal parts, or more specifically a Griffin due to the wing-like crest on its head. Its concept also bears resemblance to Arceus, which can also change type and appearance based on the item held. Like its pre-evolution, it also appears to be based on Frankenstein's monster due to the bolt-like objects on its face and it being created from cells of different Pokémon types.
Silvally may be a combination of silver and ally. In-universe, it was named by Gladion.
Silvady may be a combination of silver and buddy.

Trivia[]
- Silvally's stat distribution is identical to its pre-evolution, with the exception of its Speed stat rising to match its other stats.
- The change in its Speed stat to 95 from 59 is a reversal of the digits.
- This change to only its Speed stat makes Silvally's evolution from Type: Null to experience the least changes to individual base stats of all evolutions.
