I will reiterate. Weavile is not a denfesive Pokemon. Yeah, Scarf Cross can generally beat him. So can Scarf Chandelure and a lot of scarf Pokemon. Neither wants to switch into an all out attacker set. Getting revenge killed isn't a fault of the Pokemon, almost every sweeper is subject to it. Weavile deserves to be A rank because there aren't many Pokemon that can switch into him without worry. Bronzong or a bulky Water-type are your best bets, and they can't take repeated Night Slashes or a small bit of support, as is defined acceptable in the definition of A rank. He may be a little tricky to get in, but double switches and switches after a KO are the only way to bring in many frail, powerful Pokemon, like the S ranked Mienshao. It isn't hard to grab an SD boost, the threat of CB forces out many common Pokemon like Crobat, Zapdos, etc. You don't even need to run a rapid spinner, just keep the offensive momentum and stifle their SR user, and if rocks do go up it's not like he's deadweight, just crippled. Considering the small amount of support he takes and his sheer sweeping prowess, I again stand by my analysis of Weavile as A rank.

Weavile requires a TON of support to be effective. First you have to weaken the foes Fire, Fighting and Steel types so it can sweep. You also need spikes and SR support to make sure that weavile obtains those KO's. Also, because crobot is faster than weavile, it can heavily dent it with brave bird and weavile can only hit it first with the weak ice shard. Also, the rare Technitop can KO it with mach punch. Also brozong only takes 34.3% - 40.8% from a life orb night slash and can retaliate with a powerful STAB gyroball. Two useless abilities don't help weavile either.
