Using its high Attack and Speed coupled with Choice Scarf, Weavile is an amazing revenge killer that can deal with a variety of fast problematic Pokemon for Ice-type teams like Choice Scarf Jirachi, Gengar, and Charizard and boosted Shell Smash Cloyster and Barbaracle. It also improves the team's matchup against Ghost- and Psychic-type teams, as it is able to threaten Pokemon such as Gengar and Indeedee using Knock Off. Knock Off also provides utility support by removing items such as Leftovers and Light Clay. Icicle Crash hits Dragon-, Flying-, and Grass-type Pokemon like Hydreigon, Togekiss, and Venusaur. Low Kick allows Weavile to heavily damage Ferrothorn, Snorlax, and Tyranitar that can be troublesome to face otherwise. Foul Play lets Weavile punish setup sweepers like Mimikyu, Cloyster, and Swords Dance Excadrill. Since Weavile is frail, it should not be recklessly switched into attacks and should be brought in safely after a teammate faints or through U-turn support and smart double switching. Maximum Attack investment makes Weavile hit as hard as possible, while maximum Speed investment along with a Jolly nature and Choice Scarf allows it to outspeed Choice Scarf Gengar and Choice Scarf Noivern.

Alolan Ninetales and Galarian Darmanitan appreciate Weavile dealing with a threat like Choice Scarf Jirachi for them; in return, Alolan Ninetales provides essential Aurora Veil support that allows Weavile to patch up its poor bulk, such as allowing it to take a Moonblast from Choice Scarf Gardevoir in a pinch. Additionally, Alolan Ninetales deals with Fighting- and Dark-type Pokemon like Keldeo and Grimmsnarl with Moonblast. Galarian Darmanitan deals with Steel-type Pokemon like Corviknight due to its Flare Blitz, and it also forms a great revenge killing core with Weavile that is hard for offensive teams to deal with. Using a Choice Specs set, Kyurem can break apart bulky defensive Pokemon like Toxapex, Galarian Weezing, Gastrodon, and Corviknight for Weavile. Stealth Rock users like Piloswine and Mamoswine also pair well with Weavile, allowing it to score easier KOs against Pokemon like Darmanitan and Salazzle. Avalugg can keep entry hazards away like Stealth Rock and Sticky Web, which can undermine Weavile's role as a revenge killer.

It also improves the teams matchup against Ghost-, and Psychic-type teams as it is able to threaten Pokemon such as Gengar and Gardevoir, respectively. Knock Off provides utility support as it removes item of anything that switches into it while also dealing with the aforementioned Ghost- and Psychic-type Pokemon.
- choice scarf jirachi is probably the most important example for scarf weavile

Foul Play lets Weavile punish setup sweepers like Mimikyu,Kyurem-B, and Swords Dance Excadrill while also dealing good damage to Choice Scarf user like Darmanitan.
- cloyster is a big example here

As a revenge killer, Weavile should be preserved in matchups where it is needed to beat threats, like against Psychic-, and Ghost-type teams.
- this is a repeated point delete it imo

Alolan Ninetales and Galarian Darmanitan appreciate Weavile dealing with a threat like Choice Scarf Jirachi for them, in return Alolan Ninetales provides quintessential veil support that allows Weavile to clean teams more effectively.
- just change it to Aurora Veil, always list the full/proper name of the move/pokemon

Whereas Galarian Darmitan deals with Steel-type Pokemon like Corviknight due to its Fire-type coverage and it also forms a great revenge killing core that is hard for offensive teams to deal with.
- mention flare blitz here specifically, i dont like fire punch which you could assume when reading this. also fire punch has a harder time dealing w/ bulk up variants of corviknight

Setup sweepers like Cloyster and Kyurem-B can weaken teams, letting Weavile clean team late-game more effectively.
- go into more detail here about what they get rid/weaken for weavile. kyub spef takes care of waters and steels that can give weavile trouble such as keldeo and corviknight

Good Attack stat combined with a high Speed stat makes Weavile a great revenge killer for Ice-types teams. Using its high Attack and Speed coupled with Choice Scarf, Choice Scarf Weavile is an amazing revenge killer as it can deal deals with a variety of fast problematic Pokemon for Ice-type teams like Choice Scarf Jirachi and Cloyster and Barbaracle after Shell Smash.
Use Choice Scarf Gengar and Choice Scarf Charizard as examples here too. I decided to combine the first and second sentences since they pretty much say the same thing with the first one being more unnecessary.

It also improves the teams matchup against Ghost-, and Psychic-type teams as it is able to threaten Pokemon such as Gengar and Indeedee Choice Scarf Jirachi using Knock Off, respectively. Knock Off also provides utility support by removing items such as x, x and x. as it removes item of anything that switches into it while also dealing with the aforementioned Ghost- and Psychic-type Pokemon.

Foul Play lets Weavile punish setup sweepers like Mimikyu, Cloyster, and Swords Dance Excadrill while also dealing good damage to Choice Scarf user like Darmanitan.
Removed this because you'd rather Knock Off Darmanitan anyways so something else can outspeed it + Ice vs Fire is pretty hopeless

Since Weavile is frail, it should not be recklessly switched into attacks and should be brought in safely through U-turn support and smart double switching.
Should talk about after a teammate faints

Maximum Attack investment makes Weavile hit as hard as possible while maximum Speed investment along with a Jolly nature and Choice Scarf allows it to Adamant Sand Rush Excadrill in sand. outspeed Choice Scarf Gengar and Choice Scarf Noivern.

Alolan Ninetales and Galarian Darmanitan appreciate Weavile dealing with a threat like Choice Scarf Jirachi for them, in return Alolan Ninetales provides quintessential Aurora Veil support that allows Weavile to clean teams more effectively.
Say that Aurora Veil helps patch up Weavile's poor bulk and give examples where this is useful.

Additionally, Alolan Ninetales deals with Fighting- and Dark-type Pokemon like Keldeo and Grimmsnarl with Moonblast and can weaken walls like Toxapex with Freeze Dry.

Using a Choice Specs set, Kyurem can break apart bulky defensive Pokemon like Toxapex, Galarian Weezing, Gastrodon and Corviknight for Weavile.

Stealth Rock users like Piloswine and Mamoswine also pair well with Weavile allowing it to score easier KOs.
Generally speaking if you mention Stealth Rock you should mention some calcs they get for the Pokemon in question; otherwise technically every Pokemon likes Stealth Rock support. Call out some examples where Stealth Rock is really good for Weavile.

Piloswine can take on Fire-type attacks for Weavile while Mamoswine can threaten Pokemon like Toxapex and Toxtricity for the team.

Go in depth about how Piloswine and Avalugg are good defensive options that can switch into Pokemon that outspeed Weavile like Choice Scarf Dragapult for Piloswine, as well as Excadrill under sand and Barraskewda under rain for Avalugg.

Setup sweeper like Cloyster can weaken teams, letting Weavile clean team late-game more effectively.
This is ambiguous, go into more depth on this or remove it.

Avalugg can keep hazards away like Stealth Rock and Sticky Web which can undermine Weavile's role as a revenge killer and can take on physical attackers like Barraskewda for the team.

Because of Using its high Attack and Speed coupled with Choice Scarf, Weavile is an amazing revenge killer as it can deal with a variety of fast problematic Pokemon for Ice-type teams like Choice Scarf Jirachi, Gengar, and Charizard and Cloyster and Barbaracle after Shell Smash. It also improves the team'(AA)s matchup against Ghost-,(RC) and Psychic-type teams as it is able to threaten Pokemon such as Gengar and Indeedee using with Knock Off. Knock Off also provides utility support by removing items such as Leftovers and Light Clay. Icicle Crash hits Dragon-, Flying-, and Grass-type Pokemon like Hydreigon, Togekiss,(AC) and Venusaur. Low Kick allows Weavile to heavily damage Ferrothorn, Snorlax, and Tyranitar that can be troublesome to face otherwise. Foul Play lets Weavile punish setup sweepers like Mimikyu, Cloyster, and Swords Dance Excadrill. Since Weavile is frail, it should not be recklessly switched into attacks and should be brought in safely after a teammate faints, through U-turn support,(AC) and smart double switching. Maximum Attack investment makes Weavile hit as hard as possible while maximum Speed investment along with a Jolly nature and Choice Scarf allows it to outspeed Choice Scarf Gengar and Choice Scarf Noivern.

Alolan Ninetales and Galarian Darmanitan appreciate Weavile dealing with a threats like Choice Scarf Jirachi for them, and in return Alolan Ninetales provides quintessential Aurora Veil support that allows Weavile to make up forpatch up (To me, patch up means fixing, so increasing its bulk instead of what you mean here) its poor bulk, allowing it to live a Moonblast from Choice Scarf Gardevoir in a pinch. Additionally, Alolan Ninetales deals with Fighting- and Dark-type Pokemon like Keldeo and Grimmsnarl with Moonblast. Whereas Galarian Darmitan deals with Steel-type Pokemon like Corviknight due to its Flare Blitz,(AC) and it also forms a great revenge killing core that is hard for offensive teams to deal with. Using a Choice Specs set, Kyurem can break apart bulky defensive Pokemon like Toxapex, Galarian Weezing, Gastrodon,(AC) and Corviknight for Weavile. Stealth Rock users like Piloswine and Mamoswine also pair well with Weavile allowing it to score (not sure what you mean by score tbh. If it means KO, try: "making it easier to KO Pokemon like...")easier against Pokemon like Darmanitan and Salazzle. Avalugg can spin keep hazards away like Stealth Rock and Sticky Web away which can undermine Weavile's role as a revenge killer.
