[SET COMMENTS]

This set maximizes Weavile's physical prowess against common metagame staples like Gliscor, Landorus-T, and Gholdengo due to its threatening typing, which emphasizes its ability to force switches, giving it a plethora of setup opportunities. Teams value Weavile's fast Knock Off making foes such as Toxapex, Alomomola, and Zamazenta more vulnerable to entry hazards, leaving them unable to check Weavile late-game. Triple Axel ensures that foes that resist Weavile's Dark-type moves like Ting-Lu, Mega Tyranitar, and Great Tusk cannot come in for free. Swords Dance enables Weavile to reach damage benchmarks such as OHKOs against Volcarona and Ogerpon-W with Knock Off and Triple Axel, respectively, after a boost. Ice Shard lets Weavile revenge kill faster threats such as Dragonite, Iron Valiant, and Tapu Koko after they've been weakened by teammates. Additionally, it prevents slower foes with priority like Raging Bolt and Kingambit from trying to revenge kill Weavile. Heavy-Duty Boots allows Weavile to come in as many times as it likes, completely disregarding hazards from Pokemon like Gliscor.

Weavile fits on many different team structures, ranging from balance to offense, as they value its fast Knock Off and its ability to revenge kill faster foes such as boosted Dragonite, Roaring Moon, and Scale Shot Garchomp. Weavile appreciates entry hazard-setting teammates like Landorus-T, Ferrothorn, and Heatran, which help it break through checks like Zamazenta, especially in conjunction with its Knock Off removing Heavy-Duty Boots from checks such as Alomomola. In return, Weavile is able to pressure hazard removal options like Tornadus-T and Great Tusk. Weavile struggles to break through bulky Water-types such as Alomomola, Toxapex, and Tapu Fini, making Electric-types such as Raging Bolt and Tapu Koko great allies to break past them with ease. Additionally, Weavile threatens Ground-type Pokemon like Ting-Lu for them. Weavile is quite frail and can have trouble entering the field safely; therefore, it appreciates pivoting support from partners like Landorus-T, Alomomola, and Galarian Slowking. Gholdengo is another effective partner, being able to defensively answer revenge killers like Mega Scizor and Choice Scarf Tapu Lele. Lastly, Hisiuan Samurott is teammate that can help Weavile overwhelm shared checks such as Ferrothorn, Corviknight, and Clefable through hazard stacking from Ceaseless Edge. In return, Weavile helps by spamming Knock Off to remove Heavy-Duty Boots off of switch-ins in order to maximize hazard damage.

[SET COMMENTS]

This set makes use of Weavile's speed and power in the late-game <= need to reword this somehow, cos this implies it gains speed and power late-game.. instead make reference to how it's mostly seen late-game despite being useful for picking off stuff with shard early- to mid-game asw while overpowering common metagame staples like Gliscor, Landorus-T, and Gholdengo. Triple Axel When boosted by Sword Dance allows Weavile to reach feats like OHKing Ting-Lu. Knock Off annihilates common Pokemon like Gholdengo, Slowking Galar, and Slowbro. there's no need to talk about basic STABs -- at the most you caann talk about knock removing items alongside being really powerful, but even that doesn't feel THAT necessary since weavile doesn't really use knock off for that purpose (like it just murders birds insetad of knocking them for example) Ice Shard allow Weavile to revenge kill faster Pokemon like Weakened Tapu Koko and Scale Shot boosted Garchomp. also need to talk about the choice of ability here - why pressure? (or alternatively, why pressure over pickpocket?) also need to talk about boots, not only rocks but also susceptible to spikes and tspikes and is overall too easily worn down by hazards wo boots

Weavile fits on many different team structures why? this feels like filler if you don't give a reason. we all know about weav ho and weav stall and everything in between but we have to put that in but is primarily on balance and bulky offense. These teams appreciate Weavile's ability to keep setup sweepers at bay like Dragonite, Booster Energy Roaring Moon and Scale Shot Garchomp is that the only thing weavile does? can reiterate from para 1 although no need to write out in full (basically that it also functions as speed control mid- to late-game). Weavile appreciates hazard setting teammates like Landorus-T, Ferrothorn, and Heatran. This helps Weavile have an easier time breaking through checks like Zamazenta especially in conjunction with with its Knock Off why is knock off mentioned here? can talk about boots here (and if you already did, again issokay too). In return, Weavile is able to pressure Pokemon like Mega Latios for them. Weavile has trouble breaking through Bulky Water-type Pokemon like Alomomola and Toxapex. Therefore, partners such as Galarian Slowking, Raging Bolt, Tapu Koko is appreciated if you want, you can also talk about weav lures in for other breakers (since you said bulky offense) -- the bulky waters line here is one such, and then maybe like steels like melm ferro and teammates to take advantage? this paragraph is quite short

This set maximizes Weavile's physical prowess being able to set up against common metagame staples like Gliscor, Landorus-T, and Gholdengo. In addition to being a phenomenal late-game sweeper picking off foes such as boosted Dragonite and weakned Tapu Koko. Ice Shard allow Weavile to revenge kill faster Pokemon like Weakened Tapu Koko the aforementioned foes since this is now right next to the sentence about picking off foes and Scale Shot boosted Garchomp. Pressure is preferred as it increases setup opportunities vs weakened Toxapex trying to haze away its Swords Dance. in what way? do you somehow limit its Haze PP? need to explain, this doesn't make enough sense on its own
need a comment about boots here, not only rocks but also susceptible to spikes and tspikes and is overall too easily worn down by hazards wo boots

Weavile fits on many different team structures especially Bulky offense and Balance as they value its fast Knock Off <= since you mention this here, you should make reference to it in the first paragraph, otherwise it isn't immediately obvious why this is good, its ability to revenge kill, and force switches. These teams which teams? this and the previous sentence are a little confusing -- which types of teams appreciate what? if you'd like you can just leave this and let GP handle but just pointing it out here appreciate Weavile's ability to keep setup sweepers at bay like Dragonite, Booster Energy Roaring Moon and Scale Shot Garchomp. Weavile appreciates hazard setting teammates like Landorus-T, Ferrothorn, and Heatran. This helps Weavile have an easier time breaking through checks like Zamazenta as its Heavy-duty boots get removed via Knock Off , especially in conjunction with its Knock Off removing Heavy-Duty Boots from checks original sentence structure was fine, changed is confusing cos it seems like YOUR boots get nocked kekek. In return, Weavile is able to pressure Pokemon like Mega Latios try to give one more example here for them. Weavile has trouble breaking through Bulky Water-type Pokemon like Alomomola and Toxapex. Therefore, partners such as Galarian Slowking, Raging Bolt, Tapu Koko is appreciated, the latter two of which can take advantage of these Water-types. Weavile also lures Alomomola and Toxapex for teammates like Tapu Koko and Raging Bolt to take advantage. no need a new sentence Heatran also benefits from Weavile luring in Steel types like Ferrothorn and Melmetal. once again structure, this just feels a bit random; try to frame it like how you did the previous few, like Weavile also tends to invite in Steel-types like yada yada, which benefits teammates like Heatran and yada yada

This set maximizes Weavile's physical prowess being able to set up against common metagame staples like Gliscor, Landorus-T, and Gholdengo mention how this makes it a strong wallbreaker and sweeper if positioned well. Teams value Weaviles fast Knock Off did u forget to elaborate or smth? why? talk about punishing switch ins, wearing them down faster by making them weaker to hazards, which lets it wallbreak and sweep easier late-game In addition to being a phenomenal late-game sweeper picking off foes such as boosted Dragonite and weakned Tapu Koko. Ice Shard allow Weavile to revenge kill faster Pokemon like the aforementioned foes and Scale Shot boosted Garchomp. Weavile uses Heavy-Duty Boots to overcome its weakness to hazards and allow it to play the long game. im so confused rn reading this cuz of how oddly its written; weavile doesnt outspeed boosted dnite; there should be a mention talking about what thresholds swords dance enables weavile to achieve (such as OHKOing volc and wogerpon at +2); triple axel could be mentioned since it gives weavile an unresisted STAB combo by nuking dark resists like mttar, ting lu and great tusk; ice shard mention should also include how it prevents rbolt and kingambit from revenge killing as reliably. boots mention feels kinda self explanatory but u could elaborate how it allows weavile to punish gliscor for longer periods of time since its not afraid of the hazards glisc sets up

Weavile fits on many different team structures especially ranging from balance Bulky offense and Balance to offense, (AC) as they value its fast Knock Off, its ability to revenge kill frailer foes *****, and force switches wallbreaking and/or cleaning should be mentioned cuz any mon can do this really. The aforementioned team styles appreciate Weavile's ability to keep setup sweepers at bay like Dragonite, Booster Energy Roaring Moon and Scale Shot Garchomp put this where the asterisks are cuz u need examples there. Weavile appreciates hazard setting teammates like Landorus-T, Ferrothorn, and Heatran. This helps Weavile have an easier time breaking through checks like Zamazenta, especially in conjunction with its Knock Off removing Heavy-Duty Boots from checks such as?. In return, Weavile is able to pressure Pokemon like Mega Latios and Moltres which, fears loosing its Heavy-Duty Boots for them. mega latios isnt that bulky so it isnt concerned too much abt hazards, and moltres mention is just super risky with flame body proc; talk about how weavile threatens most hazard removal options from tusk to tornT Weavile has trouble breaking through Bulky Water-type Pokemon like Alomomola and Toxapex. Therefore, partners such as Galarian Slowking, Raging Bolt, Tapu Koko is appreciated, the Electric-Types mentioned being able to directly threaten Alomomola and Toxapex. Weavile struggles to break through bulky Water-types such as Alomomola, Toxapex, and Tapu Fini, making Electric-type teammates such as Raging Bolt and Tapu Koko great allies to break past them with ease. u didnt explain glowking so i just dropped that mention; talk about how weavile threatens ground-types for them in return Heatran also benefits from Weavile luring in Steel-types like Ferrothorn and Melmetal. ELABORATE brah... how does it do this? u need to talk about double switching which is kinda complicated tbh; instead u could talk about pivot support from glowking mola and landoT; u could mention more specific teammates like ghold who handle revenge killers like scarf lele or mega scizor AND form a strong hazard stack core; u could mention offensive teammates like great tusk or zamazenta or even hamurott that like weavile breaking through and wearing down shared checks like clefable. theres more to talk abt... this analysis is super short and kinda vague rn
