Weezing's toxic gas has polluted NU's atmosphere! Weezing has recently risen to prominence as a defensive stop to common physical attackers such as Machamp, Tsareena, and Grimmsnarl. Most importantly, it differentiates itself from fellow bulky Poison-types in Garbodor and Vileplume with Levitate, letting it turn the tides on the tier's biggest offensive threat, Silvally-Ground. Will-O-Wisp and Rocky Helmet punish these physical attackers as well as Steel-types like Stakataka and Copperajah. Pain Split works exceptionally well with Weezing's low base HP stat, letting it steal huge amounts of health from tanks like Copperajah, Sylveon, and Vaporeon. Taunt stops Snorlax's and Scrafty's setup, Copperajah's and Mudsdale's Stealth Rock, and Sylveon's and, with the Speed EVs, Vaporeon's cleric duties. Toxic Spikes can be used to punish grounded foes like Diancie and Mudsdale. Stakataka makes for a formidable partner that can switch into special wallbreakers Weezing is vulnerable to such as Indeedee-F, Exploud, and Dragalge, and it appreciates Weezing covering for its Fighting and Ground weaknesses in return.
