    Arcanine

    Have to concur with above by asking in what context? Namely in a vaccum, I'd probably roll Arcanine since he's immune to Burns but unless we have more information, it's hard to make an informed decision.

    Edit: Ok so you have a Water/Fairy starter, Grass, Electric Ultrabeast, Normal/Flying and Dark. Given that the E4 has Molayne or a Steel Type representative and you lack a hard counter to him, I'd recommend Arcanine or a Fire Type for that very reason. Intimidate is also quite useful for an ability.

    Arcanine

    Bizaare… was editing and my post disappeared so I recommented thinking nothing of it and bam double post. So yeah… Arcanine is my pick. You need a counter for Steel types and Arcanine with its Intimidate is the best option as I see it. Silvally's Type Perk is also useful but you already have an Ultrabeast… not like you need another Pseudo on your roster.

    I'm not going to tell you which is better but imo Silvally has better stats and arguably a better ability.

    Arcanine can get Intimidate and has better Attack/Sp. Atk.

    Silvally is a really cool Pokémon and it can change type between battles if you need it to, but it doesn't have very good stats.

    I really like both so can you tell the best type for silvally except fire?

    I thought the stats are comparable to Arcanine.

    Best type for Silvally is w/e you want it to be. Given that you really like both means that an existing Team pick will have to be jettisoned. I cannot make the pick for you either. I will say that you ought to give the regional Ice types a hard look but then again I like Ice types and they come so late in Gen 7 that it’s too late to get much use out of them. If I had to pick a typing for Silvally though, I’d probably roll Fighting since it covers not just Steel(thereby removing the need for Fire) but also Dark, Rock and Normal types(like Snorlax). Two of the E4 happen to be Steel and Rock so… yeah optimal typing no?
