* Rotom-W's typing lets it be a good defensive check to multiple top threats such as Kyogre, Lapras, and Charizard. However, it can also be a potent Dynamax sweeper when set up.
* Hydro Pump is a strong STAB move that can make quick work of Pokemon such as Incineroar, Coalossal, and Rotom-H. It also grants access to a powerful Max Geyser, which can be used to set rain.
* Thunderbolt hits Tapu Fini, Galarian Moltres, and Yveltal for big damage. Additionally, it can be used to set Electric Terrain, though it is worth mentioning that Rotom-W cannot take advantage of it due to Levitate.
* Rotom-W can easily set up Nasty Plots due to it being able to stonewall many top threats such as Landorus-T, Groudon, and Calyrex-I. This can allow it to easily set up sweeps, especially with redirection or Fake Out support from Amoonguss or Incineroar, respectively.

* Weezing should only be used with Regigigas due to Neutralizing Gas negating Slow Start.
* Clear Smog prevents setup sweepers such as Groudon and Landorus-T from snowballing, as well as resetting Max Move boosts. Sludge Bomb deals more consistent damage but doesn't have the benefit of resetting the stats of the target.
* Taunt prevents attempts to cripple Weezing's most common partner, Regigigas, with status such as burn from Will-O-Wisp and sleep with Yawn. It also prevents Regigigas from being slowed down by Trick Room attempts from Porygon2 and Dusclops.
* Will-O-Wisp is great for crippling physical attackers such as Necrozma-DM, Groudon, and Calyrex-I.
* 252 Speed EVs and Timid nature allow Weezing to outspeed notable Pokemon such as Groudon with no Speed investment, Metagross, and Gothitelle. The former two are severely crippled by Will-O-Wisp and the latter is stopped in its tracks by Taunt.
