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}}.

{{spoilers}}

At some point before the events of the game, [[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, who sympathizes with Type: Null due to their shared connection with the Aether Foundation, often calls it '''Null'''. Gladion and Type: Null battle against and alongside the {{player}} at various points of the story, and eventually, the two become close enough that Type: Null no longer needs its helmet, and evolves into Silvally, a new form named by Gladion himself according to the [[Rotom Pokédex]]. 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.

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 [[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.

====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.
