[SET COMMENTS]

Weavile has a place in the tier as a wallbreaker that can outspeed much of the metagame, blitzing past Pokemon like Ogerpon-W, Mega Diancie, and Tornadus-T. Choice Band grants Weavile the ability to OHKO offensive Great Tusk, threaten a potential 2HKO on Clefable with Triple and discourage Gliscor, Ting-Lu, and Mega Tyranitar from absorbing Knock Off. Knock Off punishes switch-ins like Ferrothorn, Zamazenta, and Toxapex, making them easier to break through for Weavile and its teammates due to their lack of Heavy-Duty Boots and Leftovers. Ice Shard allows Weavile to pick off faster foes such as boosted Garchomp and Dragonite, being able to OHKO both after Stealth Rock. Pursuit lets Weavile trap targets such as Mega Latios, Galarian Slowking, and Choice-locked Tapu Lele to open up teammates.

Weavile fits on a variety of structures ranging from balance to bulky offense. These teams benefit from Weavile's ability to force progress through Knock Off and remove key Pokemon like Galarian Slowking, Mega Latios, and Slowbro with Pursuit. In addition, Weavile enables hazard-setting teammates like Landorus-T, Ting-Lu, and Ferrothorn by removing Heavy-Duty Boots from Zamazenta, Toxapex, and Flying-types such as Moltres and Zapdos, cutting into their longevity. In return, the aforementioned teammates provide Weavile with a defensive buffer against Pokemon like Melmetal and Kingambit. Weavile is also vulnerable to faster Fighting-types like Choice Scarf Urshifu-R, Zamazenta, and Booster Energy Iron Valiant, so allies such as Gholdengo and Pecharunt are appreciated to provide a response to these foes. In return, Weavile muscles through Ground-types such as Great Tusk, Landorus-T, and Gliscor for them. Weavile is quite frail and can have difficulty entering the field safely; therefore, allies like Pecharunt, Galarian Slowking, and Alomomola are appreciated to get it in without harm. Furthermore, the aforementioned Pokemon appreciate Weavile directly threatening foes like Dragonite, Gholdengo, and Raging Bolt. Rapid Spin from partners like Great Tusk and Terapagos protects Weavile from its Stealth Rock weakness. In return, Weavile can potentially Pursuit trap weakened Gholdengo to deter it from blocking Rapid Spin. Weavile also threatens Tornadus-T for Great Tusk and removes Galarian Slowking for Terapagos.

Weavile cements itself has a place in the tier "cements itself" is pretty strong wording for what is ultimately not the most common set as a breaker that can outspeed much of the metagame blitzing past Pokemon like Ogerpon-W, Roaring Moon, and Tornadus-T. Choice Band grants Weavile the opportunity to OHKO Offensive Tusk from full if Triple Axel hits three times. Mention a few more calcs here, 2HKOing Clefable is a big one Knock Off punishes switch-ins like Ferrothorn, Zamazenta, and Toxapex forcing them to lose their item. Mention that CB Weav also threatens a lot of traditional Knock Off absorbers, notably Clef and Gliscor. Ice Shard allows Weavile to pick off faster foes such as Booster energy Roaring Moon giving it a guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock. Add some more examples. Pursuit allows Weavile to trap Pokemon that might want to switch out of it like Mega Latios, Galarian Slowking and Choice locked Tapu Lele.

Weavile fits on a variety of of structures ranging from Balance to Bulky Offense. These teams benefit from Weavile ability to force progress through Knock Off and remove key Defensive Pokemon like Galarian Slowking. I think removing Mega Latios and Tapu Lele is just as important for these teams, since they tend to be very threatening to their defensive cores. In addition, to enabling hazard setting teammates like Landorus-T, Ting-lu, and Ferrothorn. Gotta be more specific here, how does it enable them? In return, these Pokemon provide defensive buffer for Weavile against Pokemon like Melmetal and Kingambit which Weavile does not threaten outside of removing their item. Most melm sets rly don't want to take Knock so I think its worth making that distinction. Weavile is also vulnerable to faster Fighting-Types like Choice Scarf Urshifu-R, Zamazenta, and Booster energy Iron Valiant. Therefore, allies such as Gholdengo and Pecharunt are appreciated to provide a response to these foes. In return, Weavile muscles through Great Tusk, Landorus-T, and Gliscor for them. Mention solid hazard removal since Weavile is rly hazards weak, also worth noting that Weav can potentially trap Ghold although ik that mu is a little shakier than some others.

Weavile has a place in the tier as a breaker that can outspeed much of the metagame blitzing past Pokemon like Ogerpon-W, Roaring Moon, and Tornadus-T. Choice Band grants Weavile the opportunity to OHKO Offensive Tusk from full and threaten a potential 2HKO in Clefable with Triple Axel, while also discouraging Gliscor from absorbing Knock Off. Knock Off punishes switch-ins like Ferrothorn, Zamazenta, and Toxapex forcing them to lose their item talk about how this makes them easier to break thru cuz of lack of lefties/boots. Choice Band Weavile threatens key Knock Off absorbers like Gliscor. Ice Shard allows Weavile to pick off faster foes such as Booster energy Roaring Moon giving it a guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock. In addition, to non Heavy-duty boots Dragonite. Roaring Moon and Dragonite, being able to OHKO both after Stealth Rock. Pursuit allows Weavile to trap Pokemon that might want to switch out of it like Mega Latios, Galarian Slowking and Choice locked Tapu Lele talk abt how this wears them down if not ohkoing them for its teammates.

Weavile fits on a variety of of structures ranging from Balance to Bulky Offense. These teams benefit from Weavile ability to force progress through Knock Off and remove key Pokemon like Galarian Slowking, Mega Latios and Choice-locked Tapu Lele Slowbro latter is kinda inconsistent. In addition, to enabling hazard setting teammates like Landorus-T, Ting-lu, and Ferrothorn removing key items from foes like Leftovers from opposing Ferrothorn and Heavy-Duty Boots from Zamazenta reword this sentence since its very clunky. In return, these Pokemon provide defensive buffer for Weavile against Pokemon like Melmetal and Kingambit which Weavile does not threaten outside of removing their item although Melmetal sets do not like taking Knock Off filler and a bit confusing. Weavile is also vulnerable to faster Fighting-Types like Choice Scarf Urshifu-R, Zamazenta, and Booster energy Iron Valiant. Therefore, allies such as Gholdengo and Pecharunt are appreciated to provide a response to these foes. In return, Weavile muscles through Great Tusk, Landorus-T, and Gliscor for them mention how pecharunt offers pivot support (along with alternatives such as glowking or mola). Rapid Spin from partners like Great Tusk and Terapagos keep Weavile from Damage from Stealth Rock and being worn down quickly protect Weavile from its Stealth Rock weakness. In return, Weavile can potentially trap weakened Gholdengo to deter it from blocking Rapid Spin. Weavile also threatens Tornadus-T for Great tusk and removes Galarian Slowking for Terapagos.

Ice Shard allows Weavile to pick off faster foes such as Roaring Moon boosted Garchomp and Dragonite, being able to OHKO both after Stealth Rock. Pursuit allows Weavile to trap Pokemon that might want to switch out of it like targets such as "mon that might want to switch out of it" is clunky esp when weavile actively tries to trap them via double switches and pivots Mega Latios, Galarian Slowking and Choice locked Tapu Lele to open up teammates in the mid- to late-game.
