If anything it is the lack of a reliable sure shot recovery move that hampers weezing.
I'd argue with that. Weezing is only weak to psycic type moves, which tend to be found on special threats that Blissey should be fighting, not weezing. Wezing can phaze like Skarmory and has access to Will O Wisp which helps Weezing deal with Phy attackers. Let's not forget that Blissey can use wish to ensure Weezing sticks around. Another benefit is that Magnezone can't trap Weezing, unlike Skarmory,because that's the idea behind skarmbliss, except it has better typing and reliability.
Electivire with Thunderpunch and Flamethrower?There's only one combo that strikes fear into enemy hearts...
MANLIX.
Steelix and Mantine combine to become mildly effective! They fully resist/are immune to each others weaknesses. The real issue is dealing damage, though you can go Surf/Toxic/Protect/Filler and SR/Roar/EQ/Toxic I guess.
This is what I use. The best part is that both counter Garchomp decently, so unlike most wall combinations it doesn't lose to Yache Berry Chomp or something.Gliscor + Bulky water (Milotic perfered) = Win
But it trades that for not resisting Normal, Flying, Psychic (Weezing's weakness), Ghost, DRAGON, Dark, and Steel. Skarmory also resists Grass and Bug x4 instead of x2 (only the Bug one really matters, though), and is immune to Poison instead of 2x resistant. Weezing has the advantage of not being weak to Electric and Fire and resisting Fighting. It also has to use Pain Split or Rest (or be passed Wishes) to stay healed up, whereas Skarmory can Roost. Skarmory is also immune to SS.I'd argue with that. Weezing is only weak to psycic type moves, which tend to be found on special threats that Blissey should be fighting, not weezing.
Weezing can only Haze, which is generally inferior to phazing (Roar and Whirlwind).Wezing can phaze like Skarmory
If you really want a Fighting resist, I'd look into Gliscor. It has Roost and can take on those threats as well.It also doesn't get decimated by SD Lucario and Heracross, which is a major plus in my eyes.
Adding to Celetran, Celebi/Heatran/Zapdos/Gliscor is ridiculously hard to break. Things like Togekiss and Heracross are decimated all of the sudden. Gengar doesn't stand a damn chance, and Lucario isn't able to set up for a massive sweep or do any damage with boosted Aura Sphere. Throw another special wall like Blissey or Cresselia in the mix, and you have one fuck of a defense.
That's a whopping five walls, I thought this was supposed to be like two or three pokemon in combination. Sure, the ENTIRE TEAM might not get swept by mamoswine, but what are you gonna do about offense? Rapid Spin? Wish support? Five walls is all good and nice on paper, but it's impractical.Slap a Bronzong in that mix though, and Mamoswine suddenly isn't so much of a problem anymore. That team shapes up to be a pretty nice stall team.
But thats not 5 walls. Its a defensive combo. I don't see how you can qualify Heatran and Zapdos as walls they are just bulky, defensively sound pokemon, but they focus on attacking.That's a whopping five walls, I thought this was supposed to be like two or three pokemon in combination.
