Under Checks and Counters, I would add Pyroar as a relevant taunt user thats stops Weezing from pain splitting or setting up t-spikes. It has grown in popularity because it helps Pyroar get past walls so I think it is noteworthy.
Other than that looks good bud. QC 3/3 after you implement my suggestion n_n

Overview
########
[OVERVIEW]
Weezing is a great defensive Pokemon in the NeverUsed metagame. Levitate and Will-O-Wisp are the main things that give Weezing a niche over other defensive Poison-types such as Vileplume and Garbodor. That being said, Levitate makes it so that Weezing cannot absorb Toxic Spikes for its teammates, if this is an issue be wary of choosing Weezing for your team. Weezing can also use Flamethrower, which allows it to damage Steel-types such as Mawile, Klinklang, and Ferroseed that are immune to its Sludge Bomb and would otherwise be able to set up on it. With no recovery outside of the unreliable Pain Split Weezing can often get worn down quickly, this makes Weezing a perfect fit for more defensive teams that can support it with Wish users.

Moves
========
Will-O-Wisp is a nice complement to Weezing's naturally high Defense, making physical attackers even easier to deal with, (AC) while also wearing down bulkier teams. Sludge Bomb is the STAB move of choice, (AC) as it hits decently hard and has a 30% chance to poison the foe. Pain Split gives Weezing some much needed, albeit unreliable, recovery, as this is helpful against teams with powerful physical attackers such as Choice Band Sawk, which Weezing will need to switch into repeatedly. Flamethrower hits Steel-types, which could otherwise be troublesome for Weezing, such as Pawniard, Ferroseed, Klinklang, and Mawile for super effective damage. Toxic Spikes are great for wearing down both bulky and offensive teams, and can help Weezing's teammates secure KOs. Taunt can be used to stop set up setup sweepers such as Mega Audino and Gurdurr from beating Weezing 1v1, it's also helpful for preventing Defog and Stealth Rock from Pokemon such as Prinplup and Regirock, respectively. Clear Smog stops set up sweepers such as Samurott from overwhelming Weezing, while also doing a bit of damage. Haze can be used to stop set up sweepers such as Klinklang and Pawniard that are immune to Clear Smog.
Set Details
========
248 HP EVs and maximum Defense investment give Weezing optimal physical bulk and give it a Stealth Rock number. An EV spread utilizing maximum HP, 40 Defense, and 216 Speed should be used when running taunt. The alternative EV spread outpaces Modest maxiumum maximum Speed Exeggutor, while allowing Weezing to reliably beat RestTalk Malamar reliably. Levitate gives Weezing the ability to switch into Pokemon such as Rhydon, Golurk, Quagsire, and Sandslash with ease. Black Sludge hurts Trick users such as Rotom, and gives Weezing some passive recovery.
Usage Tips
========
Aim to pivot into physical attackers such Hariyama, Sawk, and Pinsir. Use Will-O-Wisp to cripple physical attackers, and weaken bulkier Pokemon. Setting up Toxic Spikes can be useful for wearing down bulky teams, and getting important damage on foes for Weezing's teammates; however, this is unwise if you would prefer to burn a foe, or if the opponent has a grounded Poison-type. Use Pain Split when low on HP to continue pivoting into physical attacking threats throughout the course of the match.
Team Options
========
Wish users such as Mega Audino and Flareon can help Weezing recover HP, they also have the ability to take special attacks aimed at Weezing. Dark-types such as Pawniard and Liepard help against Psychic-types such as Mesprit and Xatu that plague Weezing. Entry hazard support is great when paired with Weezing, as it forces many switches. Psychic- and Ground-types handle Poison-types attempting to absorb Weezing's Toxic Spikes.
[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
########
=============
Weezing can run a more specially defensive build to deal with Grass-types such as Lilligant. (Maybe providing some EVs and a possible nature?) A Choice Specs set can utilize Weezing's decent Special Attack and solid coverage options to some effect. Destiny Bond can be used as a last ditch effort to take down a threatening foe. Rocky Helmet can be used to weaken physical attackers even further, at the cost of passive recovery.
Checks & and Counters
########
===================
**Psychic-types**: Psychic-types typically don't care about Will-O-Wisp, and they can hit Weezing for super effective damage. Xatu deserves a special mention here, as it prevents both Will-O-Wisp and Toxic Spikes with Magic Bounce.
**Strong Special Attackers**: Weezing is hit hard by special attackers such as Samurott and Pyroar due to its lackluster Special Defense stat.
**Substitute Users**: Substitute users, especially those that boost their stats, such as Uxie, Bouffalant, and Mismagius can dodge Weezing's Will-O-Wisp and Pain Split.
**Taunt**: Mismagius, Archeops, Pyroar, (AC) and Samurott all commonly carry Taunt and can prevent Weezing from using Will-O-Wisp, Pain Split, and Toxic Spikes.
**Residual Damage**: A lack of recovery means that Weezing is taking repeated hits throughout the course of the match, this can wear it down rather quickly.
**Fire-types**: Fire-types such as Magmortar and Pyroar take little damage from Sludge Bomb, deal huge amounts of damage to Weezing, and are immune to Will-O-Wisp.
