Set Details
========
- Galarian Weezing is a great disruptive support Pokemon that can support offensive teams by shutting down the abilities that many teams depend on with Neutralizing Gas. Galarian Weezing has a good matchup against teams that rely on Grimmsnarl to take hits, as it is able to disrupt it with Taunt before it can set up dual screens, allowing powerful partners like Koraidon and Calyrex-S to sweep through teams. Neutralizing Gas also makes it a lot harder for Miraidon and Kyogre, which are quite reliant on their respective field effects, to damage Galarian Weezing's partners.
- Taunt allows Galarian Weezing to effectively shut down Grimmsnarl, Amoonguss, and Brute Bonnet, as well as preventing the opposing team's Trick Room. Will-O-Wisp can easily cripple physical attackers such as Zamazenta-C, Calyrex-I, and Iron Hands. Toxic Spikes and Poison Gas negate recovery on Terapagos and Calyrex-I while also making it easier for a partner Calyrex-S to clean up a team that has been chipped down. Strange Steam is guaranteed to OHKO Koraidon while getting around Wide Guard, and Dazzling Gleam is a slightly weaker spread option that can consistently chip down enemies. Play Rough is a physical Fairy-type STAB move that allows Galarian Weezing to do much much more damage to Assualt Vest Iron Hands and Miraidon.
- Covert Cloak prevents Fake Out flinches from Iron Hands, Incineroar, and Rillaboom, allowing it to support its team without being slowed down and making it easier to stop Trick Room. Rocky Helmet does good chip damage to Koraidon, Zamazenta-C, and Iron Hands. It's also useful to break Urshifu-R or Chien-Pao's Focus Sash. Safety Goggles gives Galarian Weezing an immunity to Brute Bonnet and Amoonguss's Spore and Rage Powder.
- The EVs guarantee Galarian Weezing can survive a Behemoth Bash or Heavy Slam from Zamazenta-C, allowing Galarian Weezing to burn it with Will-O-Wisp. Galarian Weezing is also guaranteed to survive a Choice Specs Miraidon Electro Drift without Terrain, forcing the opponent to double target Galarian Weezing. The Speed investment lets Galarian Weezing outspeed Grimmsnarl and shut down its supportive capabilities with Taunt.
- Tera Water is used to give Galarian Weezing resistances to Calyrex-I's Glacial Lance, Koraidon's Flare Blitz, and Zamazenta-C's Behemoth Bash and Heavy Slam. Tera Dark grants Galarian Weezing an immunity to Calyrex-S's Psychic and a resistance to its Astral Barrage.
Teambuilding
=========
- Incineroar, Tornadus, and Flutter Mane can all outspeed Galarian Weezing and use Taunt, reducing its effectiveness on the field. Zacian-C's Behemoth Blade can OHKO Galarian Weezing with a good roll, and its Steel typing gives it a resistance to Dazzling Gleam and Strange Steam as well as an immunity to Poison Gas and Toxic Spikes. Amoonguss can also check Galarian Weezing, as Spore can completely shut it down, and Amoonguss easily shrugs off Strange Steam and Dazzling Gleam while having an immunity to Poison Gas and removing Toxic Spikes on entry.
- Galarian Weezing is a good partner for Koraidon and Calyrex-S, as it turns off many of the main defensive tools of balance teams. Although Neutralizing Gas forces Koraidon to use the Ability Shield, shutting down Incineroar's Intimidate and Grimmsnarl's Prankster makes it much easier for Koraidon to sweep through teams unchecked. Disabling abilities like Protosynthesis, Quark Drive, and Prankster allows Calyrex-S to outspeed almost everything in the metagame and pressure teams with Astral Barrage. Koraidon is able to heavily threaten Incineroar, Amoonguss, and Zacian-C, while Calyrex-S can help against Flutter Mane.
- Galarian Weezing pairs well with Dondozo and Tatsugiri, as it is able to spread status with Poison Gas and Toxic Spikes, allowing Dondozo to clean up late-game while taking little damage from foes and healing with Leftovers.
