Grats to Slowpoke92i for winning Week 3 with their Suicide Lead Cobalion! It was a very close vote, with 3 other sets tying for second place.

All of the Pokemon we've looked at so far have only had one Ability, and that's no fun! How about a Pokemon with three great ones?

Galarian Weezing is well known in UU for having useful resistances and immunities, as well as being proficient at hazard management through Defog and Toxic Spikes. Its movepool, however, contains much more than you might realise. We can't wait to see what strange yet steaming hot sets you can come up with! Submissions close Monday at 12am GMT.

Here's Weezing's analysis- these sets are, of course, off-limits.

Weezing-Galar @ Black Sludge
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Aromatherapy
- Will-O-Wisp
- Defog
- Strange Steam


Why would you use this set with reliable clerics already existing in the tier? When used in tandem with these wish/tect mons you are allowed to run a different 4th move (such as calm mind, mystical fire, toxic, or even copycat if you are crazy like that). By itself, Weezing works as a ground resist*. Will-O-Wisp cripples possible threats and Defog takes care of hazards.

- Toxic Spikes

Jesus this things movepool is so deep, i mean look at the options. This thing can do so much. hell just pick 3 of the moves posted and tspikes and it can still probably function as an effective mon on any given team.

totally forgot to do that

Weezing-Galar (F) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 16 HP / 252 SpA / 240 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Strange Steam
- Sludge Wave
- Fire Blast
- Thunderbolt / Memento / Toxic Spikes / Defog / Thief / Dark Pulse

as we all know, offensive weezing pressures a lot of teams but some mons can in kinda easily on it such as roserade or even zong which can easily switch in and psychic weezing since it cant 2HKO. Chandelure is also free on weezing but will just get bopped on the switch if u run dark pulse. You get the idea : specs weezing is just offensive weezing but with the ability to play around his common checks and lure them (lures some other mons but zzzzzz too lazy to list them). Good point w this weezing is that u can fit momento in it which will be super good on offensive teams with set-up. You can also run some basic moves such as tspikes defog or even thief since you will very likely eat a knock off at some point. EVs can be edited ofc its just so u outspeed ada panda and modest sylv.​

Weezing-Galar @ Black Sludge
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 212 Def / 44 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Strange Steam
- Taunt/Venom Drench/Protect
- Infestation
- Toxic/Toxic Spikes

I didn't take any kind of drug before do this, trust me, Gweezing has a decent speed tier against some common walls or clerics mons, Infestation allows to trap this walls and Toxic them, making a lot of chip damage, Taunt makes sure for them to dont Heal up or cure Poison Status, Venom Drench is a move that lowers attack, SpAtck and Speed on Poisoned targets, making even more difficult for a trapped target to defeat Weezing, Toxic Spikes is another alternative instead of Toxic, however I would preffer use Toxic and Taunt, as it is more difficult to use Venom Drench, and T-Spikes can be ignored because of how common are other Poison Types like Roserade and Toxtricity. Strange Steam is just a filler stab move. Evs can be edited, but the Standar defensive Gweez Evs work well with this.​
