Galarian Weezing finds itself serving a key role on Poison thanks to its high physical bulk, wonderful support moves, and, most critically, Levitate giving it a critical Ground immunity to deal with both offensive and defensive Ground-types, such as Great Tusk, Clodsire, and Mamoswine, without much worry. Its secondary Fairy typing is also a major boon for Poison, making it immune to Dragon, which gives it utility in absorbing high powered Dragon moves like Glaive Rush from Baxcalibur and completely checking Garchomp. It also provides a helpful resistance to Dark, giving it added bulk against Dark-types like Alolan Muk and Meowscarada. Strange Steam is used for its STAB attack, dealing solid damage and threatening Dragon-, Fighting-, and Dark-types such as Dragonite, Great Tusk, and Roaring Moon. Defog is incredibly valuable, being the only consistent form of entry hazard removal on Poison, which Galarian Weezing can easily switch in and use thanks to its immunity to Spikes and neutrality to Stealth Rock This also allows it to run Black Sludge to further increase its longevity. Pain Split acts as a form of recovery and offensive pressure, allowing it to drain away health from opposing walls such as Toxapex and Gliscor while healing itself back up. Will-O-Wisp threatens physical attackers from those that it walls like Great Tusk and Dragonite and impairs others that do threaten it like Iron Treads and Corviknight, making them much easier to handle.

Alolan Muk and Assault Vest Galarian Slowking are amazing teammates for Galarian Weezing that cover Galarian Weezing's biggest weakness: low Special Defense. As specially bulky tanks, they can switch into strong special attacks, such as Choice Specs Greninja's Extrasensory, while majorly appreciating Defog from Galarian Weezing to maximize their longevity. Alolan Muk handles Psychic- and Ghost-type attacks from foes like Flutter Mane, Spectrier, and Espathra with ease thanks to its Dark typing and STAB Knock Off. Meanwhile, Galarian Slowking can soak up hits from Heatran, Regieleki, and Volcarona while responding back with its myriad of coverage, as well as create traps with Future Sight, which Galarian Weezing can exploit with Strange Steam or use as a chance to Defog safely. Toxapex's Water typing allows it to switch into and wall the many Steel-types of the tier like Scizor, Tinkaton, and Empoleon. It also handles other powerful threats such as Chien-Pao and Ceruledge, using Haze to stop their setup and Infestation or Surf to do damage. Toxapex is also a valuable Knock Off absorber in the Dragon, Dark, and Ice matchups, preventing Galarian Weezing from losing its Black Sludge from foes such as Cyclizar, Sableye, and Alolan Sandslash. Amoonguss appreciates Galarian Weezing taking the stress off it in the Ground matchup and allowing for it to have a much easier time taking on threats, such as Great Tusk, Iron Treads, and Mamoswine, after they have been burned. Amoonguss is also able to handle threats to Galarian Weezing like Gastrodon and Sandy Shocks. Thanks to Defog allowing Salazzle safe entry, it can threaten every Steel-type in the tier with a mix of its STAB Flamethrower and Toxic thanks to Corrosion, which puts Steel-types that try to threaten it, such as Heatran and Hisuian Goodra, on timers, and it means Galarian Weezing won't have to worry about them late-game. Glimmora can be used instead of Salazzle, as it also can use Toxic thanks to Corrosion, has Earth Power to hit Heatran, has Energy Ball to help out against Ground-types, such as Great Tusk and Gastrodon, and if its Air Balloon is still intact, it can inflict Toxic onto Clodsire with no fear. With Defog support, Choice Scarf Sneasler can come onto the field safely and fire off strong its strong STAB Close Combat and Dire Claw against threats like Kingambit, Chien-Pao, and Enamorus. Okidogi also works well as a Fighting-type that majorly appreciates burn being spread to have an easier time setting up before tearing into threats like Kingambit and Heatran with its STAB moves. Defog support will also allow safe entry for Iron Moth, which melts Steel-types with its powerful Fire-type STAB attacks, such as Gholdengo, Iron Treads, and Corviknight, as well as being able to eradicate Landorus if using Choice Specs with Overheat. Gengar is another solid Choice Specs user that can scare out Skeledirge, which otherwise uses Galarian Weezing for setup and can also deal with Landorus with Icy Wind.

Galarian Weezing finds itself serving a key role on Poison-type teams thanks to its high physical bulk, wonderful support moves, and most critically, Levitate. Levitate is what allows Galarian Weezing to find its place on Poison-type teams having a critical Ground immunity allows it to deal with both offensive and defensive Ground-types without much worry such as Great Tusk, Clodsire and Landorus-Therian (Lando-T isnt common rn, maybe some other ground instead? Also this could be the better sentence 1 maybe?). Its secondary Fairy type is also a major boon for Poison making it immune to Dragon which gives it utility in absorbing high powered Dragon moves like Glaive Rush from Baxcalibur and completely checking Hazard Stack Garchomp and a resistance to Dark giving it added bulk against Dark-types like Alolan Muk (a bit odd an example because poison doesnt really quite care about A.Muk) and Urshifu. Strange steam(capital letter) is used for its STAB attack dealing solid damage and checking threatening Dragon, Fighting and Dark types such as Dragonite, Great Tusk and Urshifu. Play Rough with an Impish nature with max attack IVs can be ran over Strange Steam, making use of Galarian Weezing's slightly better physical attack to do better better into threats such as Alolan Muk and Sneasler, however its worse accuracy, along it being far worse into the many threats Galarain Weezing is tasked with handling such as Great Tusk which can effortlessly shrug it off makes it far less desirable. (move the sentence to other options instead) Defog gives Galarian Weezing another key element in clearing away hazards, which increases the longevity of the team allowing them to come in easily to sponge hits Galarian Weezing does not want to take. Pain Split acts as a form of recovery and offense allowing it to drain away health from opposing walls such as Toxapex and Gliscor while healing itself back up. Finally Will-o-Wisp is used to majorly threaten every physical attacker that isn't a Fire-type from those that it walls like Great tusk and Dragonite to crippling mons that do threaten it like Iron treads and Scizor (you sort of get bopped first by sciz, maybe something else? At least treads isnt too strongie) making them much easier to handle.

Alolan Muk and Assault Vest Galarian Slowking are amazing teammates for Galarian Weezing that cover Galarian Weezing's biggest weakness, its low special defense, by being specially bulky tanks allowing them both to switch into special attacks aimed it while majorly appreciating Defog to get the most out of their respective held items in Black Sludge and Assault Vest. Alolan Muk handles threats Psychic and Ghost-type attack spam from foes like Flutter Mane, Spectrier, and Espathra with ease thanks to its Dark typing and STAB Knock Off, while Galarian Slowking can consume hits from Heatran, Regieleki and Volcarona while responding back with its myriad of attacks. Toxapex's water(capital letter) typing allows it to switch into and wall the many steel types of the tier like Scizor, Corviknight(you sort of lose vs him because Taunt, maybe a diff example like...ceruledge might be better. Wearing down SD pao is also something Pex can do for weezing) and Empoleon with a mix of Haze to stop their boost attempts and Infestation or Surf to do damage. Amoonguss appreciates Galarian Weezing taking the stress off it in the Ground matchup and allowing for it to have a much easier time taking on threats like Clodsire, Great Tusk and Mamoswine after they have been burnt along with being able to handle threats like Gastrodon and Sandy Shocks. With Defog support, Choice Scarf Sneasler can come onto the field safely and fire off strong its strong STAB Close Combats and Dire Claw into into threats like Kingambit, Chien-Pao and Enamorus.
*add Okidogi as a secondary shifu /kingambit check and generally strong stallbreaker that benefits from opposing mons being burned because its less threatened now
*add Iron Moth and/or Gengar, fast guys dealing with strong wallbreakers like Landorus and Gholdengo, Moth also threatens Poison teams lacking Galarian Slowking, while Gengar beats Skeledirge

Defog gives Galarian Weezing another key element use in clearing away hazards, which increases the longevity of the its team allowing them to come in easily to sponge hits Galarian Weezing does not want to take. (Note Gweezing is especially good as a Defogger due to its high bulk coupled with an immunity to Spikes and a lack of a weakness to Stealth Rock, meaning it can afford to run Black Sludge as an item) Pain Split acts as a form of recovery and offense allowing it to drain away health opposing walls such as Toxapex and Gliscor while healing itself back up. Finally Will-o-Wisp Will-O-Wisp is used to majorly threaten every physical attacker that isn't a Fire-type (or Baxcalibur) from those that it walls like Great tusk Tusk and Dragonite to crippling mons that do threaten it like Iron treads Treads and Corviknight making them much easier to handle.

Alolan Muk handles threating Psychic and Ghost-type attacks spam from foes like Flutter Mane, Spectrier, and Espathra with ease thanks to its Dark typing and STAB Knock Off, (break into two sentences starting here) while Galarian Slowking can consume hits from Heatran, Regieleki and Volcarona while responding back with its myriad of coverage (Glowking can also create Future Sight traps for Gweezing to exploit). Toxapex's Water typing allows it to switch into and wall the many steel types of the tier like Scizor, Tinkaton and Empoleon along with other powerful threats such as Chien-Pao and Ceruledge with a mix of Haze to stop their boost attempts and Infestation or Surf to do damage. (Toxapex can also act as a Knock Off against foes such as Cyclizar and Alolan Sandslash to prevent Gweezing being cripped by having its Black Sludge removed, and can take strong special Water attacks such as Basculegion-F's Surf and Walking Wake's Hydro Pump) Amoonguss appreciates Galarian Weezing taking the stress off it in the Ground matchup and allowing for it to have a much easier time taking on threats like Clodsire (does Amoonguss really beat Clodsire? They kind of wall each other), Great Tusk and Mamoswine after they have been burnt along with being able to handle threats to Galarian Weezing like Gastrodon and Sandy Shocks. Thanks to Defog allowing Salazzle safe entry, she can threaten every Steel-type in the tier with a mix of her STAB Flamethrower and Corrosion Toxic which puts Steel-types that try to threaten her out such as Heatran and Hisuian Goodra onto crippling timers and means Galarian Weezing won't have to worry about them in the late game. (Corrosion Glimmora does similar while threatening Heatran with Earth Power and Great Tusk with Energy Ball; can also Toxic Clodsire if Air Balloon) With Defog support, Choice Scarf Sneasler can come onto the field safely and fire off strong its strong STAB Close Combats and Dire Claw into into threats like Kingambit, Choice Band Chien-Pao and Enamorus. Okidogi also works well as a Fighting-type option who majorly appreciates burn being spread to have an easier time setting up before tearing into threats like Kingambit and Heatran with its STAB. (Please add Iron Moth and Gengar as Neko suggested; Iron Moth especially useful against Steels such as Corviknight, Gholdengo, and Iron Treads)

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============
Play Rough with an Impish nature with max attack IVs can be ran over Strange Steam, making use of Galarian Weezing's slightly better physical attack to do better better into threats such as Alolan Muk, Sneasler, and Roaring Moon. However it has worse accuracy, along it being far worse into the many threats Galarain Weezing is tasked with handling such as Great Tusk which can effortlessly shrug it off making it far less desirable. (I would remove this section entirely, your own wording makes running Play Rough seem pointless, and it also leaves Gweezing vulnerable to burn. I also fail to see the point of running max Atk EVs unless you had specific calcs in mind, compromises your bulk for seemingly little gain)

Strange Steam is used for its STAB attack dealing solid damage and threatening Dragon, Fighting, and Dark types such as Dragonite, Great Tusk and Urshifu-S. Thanks to Galarian Weezing's ability to run Black Sludge due to how easy it gets in against hazards (lacking detail a bit; clarify Spikes immunity, physical bulk etc. Use two sentences if needed), it can use Defog to clear hazards to increases the longevity of its team allowing them to come in easily to sponge hits for Galarian Weezing. Pain Split acts as a form of recovery and offense allowing it to drain away health from opposing walls such as Toxapex and Gliscor while healing itself back up.

Toxapex's Water typing allows it to switch into and wall the many steel types of the tier like Scizor, Tinkaton, and Empoleon along with other powerful threats such as Chien-Pao and Ceruledge with a mix of Haze to stop their boost attempts and Infestation or Surf to do damage (split into two sentences starting here) along with being a valuable knock absorber in the Dragon and Ice Matchups against Cyclizar and Alolan Sandslash so Galarian Weezing can keep its Black Sludge.
