[SET COMMENTS]
Weavile serves as a great offensive wallbreaker, with a good offensive typing combined with high Attack and Speed stats. Ice Shard is used to snipe faster, chipped targets like Hisuian Electrode, Choice Scarf Roaring Moon, and Sandy Shocks. Loaded Dice is used for more consistency on Icicle Spear, while Life Orb trades consistency for power, which lets Icicle Spear OHKO defensive Great Tusk with five hits and defensive Kommo-o with four hits while also powering up Beat Up. Offensive pivots like Barraskewda and Azelf appreciate Weavile's ability to heavily chip down their respective checks, being Corviknight and Manaphy, which allows them to clean up late-game. Weavile has a hard time breaking through bulky Water-types like Toxapex and defensive Quaquaval, which makes Electric-types like Sandy Shocks and Zapdos great teammates. Strong physical wallbreakers like Dragonite, Slither Wing, and Great Tusk are also good teammates, as they help to power up Weavile's Beat Up. Weavile is very frail, making defensive pivots like Corviknight and RegenVest Manaphy great partners, as they can also bring it in safely. Weavile also has a glaring weakness to entry hazards, which means that hazard removers like Corviknight and Great Tusk are very appreciated.
