From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Silvally (Japanese: シルヴァディ Silvady) is a Normal-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.
It evolves from Type: Null when leveled up with high friendship. It will change types when it is holding any type of memory.
Biology
Silvally's chimeric body is nearly identical to that of its pre-evolution; however, the fur from its head turns from gray to silver, and the membrane and spikes on its fish-like tailfin turn white. Without its control mask, its mechanical, lupine head is revealed. Its snout is metallic on its nose bridge and upper jaw, both of which lead to a triangular black nose framed by three red lines. Its upper jaw ends in a sharply pointed overbite, while its lower jaw has two visible fangs, one on each side. Its eyes have white sclerae, bright silver irises, and no pupils. These eyes are mostly surrounded by black coloration, framed along the bottom by its upper jaw. On each side of its head is a circular, metallic drive, with a white circle crossed by a metal line. The back of the crest on its head opens up, and three long spikes jut out of it. Its two ears, one on each side of its crest, are short and pointed, with black and red sections on their insides.
Once it finds a partner it trusts, Type: Null destroys its own control mask to become Silvally. It reverts to its natural, wild temperament, but it is nonetheless loyal to its Trainer, and will even risk its own life in its partner's defense. The destruction of its mask re-activates its RKS System, allowing it to change its type according to the memory attached to it; its eyes, spikes, drives, and fin membrane all change color to match its current type.
Silvally is the only known Pokémon capable of learning Multi-Attack.

Trivia
- Silvally is one of the few Pokémon capable of performing the Devolution process.
- In Pokémon Sun and Moon, Silvally has a base experience yield of 114.
- Silvally's signature move, Multi-Attack, is the only move that Silvally is guaranteed STAB for, as it is always the same type as Silvally itself.
- In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Silvally is programmed to be able to be taught all three Pledge moves (Grass Pledge, Fire Pledge, and Water Pledge). However, due to a coding error, the Move Tutor will only ever offer to teach it Grass Pledge, making the latter two unable to be learned legitimately.
Origin
Silvally, like its pre-evolution Type: Null, seems to be based on a chimera. Parts of it also resemble a griffin. Silvally's concept also bears resemblance to Arceus. 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.
Name origin
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.
