Choice Band (Atk) (Weavile) @ Choice Band
Ability: Pressure
Tera Type: Dark / Ice
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Knock Off
- Triple Axel
- Ice Shard
- Low Kick / Beat Up

Weavile is a potent wallbreaker utilizing its high speed in tandem with its potent STAB combination to tear through opposing teams. Choice Band boosts Weavile's attack to even higher levels and, combined with an Attack donation, makes Weavile is extremely difficult to switch into. Knock Off and Triple Axel are mandatory, with Knock Off removing important items like Rocky Helmet, Leftovers, and Heavy-Duty Boots from Pokemon like Skarmory, Primarina, and Moltres. Ice Shard serves as priority to pick off weakened or faster and frailer foes such as Hisuian Electrode and Choice Scarf Landorus. For the last slot, Low Kick allows Weavile to nail Pokemon such as Heatran and Archaludon with super-effective damage, while Beat Up is useful with high-Attack teammates, being a consistent, non-contact move in the early game. Tera Dark makes Knock Off even harder to manage while removing Weavile's weakness to Stealth Rock, while Tera Ice makes Triple Axel's output nuclear and improves Ice Shard revenge potential.

High Attack gods like Necrozma-Dusk-Mane and Groudon are good fits for Weavile, as they are able to boost Weavile’s Attack by sizeable margins; in turn, Weavile is able to break certain physical walls such as Zapdos and Great Tusk for them. Additionally, Groudon specifically is able to eliminate Steel-types for Weavile, which is especially useful for non-Low Kick variants. As Weavile is weak to Stealth Rock and still vulnerable to other hazards, hazard control from Pokemon such as Great Tusk, Hatterene, and Corviknight are important to keep hazards off. In addition, though Weavile is powerful and fast, it is incredibly frail, thus necessitating pivots like Rotom-W, Pecharunt, and Landorus-T. Pecharunt is especially useful, being able to switch into Fairy- and Fighting-type moves and threatening Fairy-types for Weavile. In return, Weavile eliminates Pokemon such as Reuniclus and Landorus that threaten Pecharunt. Weavile also appreciates powerful special attackers such as Landorus, Iron Moth, and Hisuian Electrode, as they are able to break physical walls such as Skarmory, Moltres, and Primarina. Landorus and Iron Moth are especially helpful in breaking Zacian-C, as it is Weavile's toughest matchup. Also, Weavile pairs well with hazard setters such as Skarmory and Ting-Lu, as Weavile is able to remove opposing Heavy-Duty Boots and rack up chip damage, making itself even harder to switch into.

AMQC! This is honestly a great start, I've just mentioned a lot so it may look like I'm suggesting it's worse than it actually is

Choice Band (Atk) (Weavile)) (remove close bracket) @ Choice Band
Ability: Pressure
Tera Type: Dark / Ice

- Ice Shard
- Beat Up / Low Kick flip these

Weavile is a potent wallbreaker utilizing its high speed in tandem with its potent STAB combination to tear through opposing teams. Choice Band boosts Weavile's attack to even higher levels, (RC) and, (AC) combined with an Attack donation, makes Weavile is extremely difficult to switch into. Knock Off and Triple Axel are mandatory, with Knock Off being Weavile's most spammable move, as it is able to cripple defensive switch-ins removing important items like Rocky Helmet, Leftovers, and Heavy-Duty Boots from Pokemon like Skarmory, Clefable, and Moltres. Ice Shard serves as priority to pick off weakened or faster and frailer foes such as Hisuian Electrode can you give another example? think boosted mons, gods etc. For the last slot, Beat Up is useful with high-Attack teammates, being a consistent, non-contact move in the early game, while Low Kick allows Weavile to nail Pokemon such as Heatran and Archaludon with super-effective damage switch around. Tera Dark is the Tera type of choice, as it makes Knock Off even harder to manage while removing Weavile's weakness to Stealth Rock, while Tera Ice makes Triple Axel's output nuclear and improves Ice Shard revenge potential.

mention what structures cb weav fits on. High Attack gods like Necrozma-Dusk-Mane and Groudon are good fits for Weavile why?; in turn, Weavile is able to break certain physical walls such as Zapdos and Great Tusk for them. Additionally, Groudon specifically is able to eliminate Steel-types for Weavile, which is especially useful for non-Low Kick variants. However, other gods such as Ho-Oh can still work, as they still grant minor Attack increases. atp just use weav in another slot As Weavile is weak to Stealth Rock and still vulnerable to other hazards, hazard control from Pokemon such as Great Tusk, Hatterene, and Mandibuzz id use a different defog example mon, stacking fairy weaknesses is rough rn are important to keep hazards off. In addition, though Weavile is powerful and fast, it is incredibly frail, thus necessitating slow pivots like Rotom-W and Pecharunt can these help outside of pivoting? if so then how so + how does weav help them if possible. Weavile also appreciates powerful special attackers such as Landorus, Iron Moth, and Iron Crown, as they are able to break physical walls such as Clefable mention other mons like washtom, skarm, and esp moltres bc that mon can just end weav's career, clef actually loses to weavile after minor chip - 252 Atk (150) Choice Band Weavile Triple Axel (120 BP) (3 hits) vs. 252 HP / 252+ (150) Def Clefable: 176-211 (44.6 - 53.5%) -- approx. 0.4% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery / approx. 31.3% chance to 2HKO, as well as Pokemon walling all of Weavile's moves like Zacian-C. Also, Weavile pairs well with hazard setters such as Skarmory and Ting-Lu, as Weavile is able to remove opposing Heavy-Duty Boots and rack up chip damage, making itself even harder to switch into. you NEED to mention zac-c as that counters and makes weav setup fodder

Knock Off and Triple Axel are mandatory, with Knock Off removing important items like Rocky Helmet, Leftovers, and Heavy-Duty Boots from Pokemon like Skarmory, Clefable Primarina, and Moltres. Primarina is a more relevant example, as it beats weavile a lot better than clef does Ice Shard serves as priority to pick off weakened or faster and frailer foes such as Hisuian Electrode and Choice Scarf Landorus. For the last slot, Low Kick allows Weavile to nail Pokemon such as Heatran and Archaludon with super-effective damage, while Beat Up is useful with high-Attack teammates, being a consistent, non-contact move in the early game. Tera Dark makes Knock Off even harder to manage while removing Weavile's weakness to Stealth Rock, while Tera Ice makes Triple Axel's output nuclear and improves Ice Shard revenge potential.

High Attack gods like Necrozma-Dusk-Mane and Groudon are good fits for Weavile, as they are able to boost Weavile’s Attack by sizeable margins; in turn, Weavile is able to break certain physical walls such as Zapdos and Great Tusk for them. Could also mention that due to its absurd power, weavile can often overwhelm many shared checks (such as skarm), allowing for them to win more easily. idk up to u tho if it gets too wordy Additionally, Groudon specifically is able to eliminate Steel-types for Weavile, which is especially useful for non-Low Kick variants. As Weavile is weak to Stealth Rock and still vulnerable to other hazards, hazard control from Pokemon such as Great Tusk, Hatterene, and Galarian Weezing Galarian Weezing isn't especially common (or good) rn, and I'd probably add something like Corviknight, Iron Treads or Excadrill there instead are important to keep hazards off. In addition, though Weavile is powerful and fast, it is incredibly frail, thus necessitating slow pivots like Rotom-W and Pecharunt. Would probably add lando-t here asw, as it switches in and threatens zacian-c for weavile, and u turns on a lot of flying and grass types to bring weavile in safely Pecharunt is especially useful, being able to switch into Fairy- and Fighting-type moves and threatening Fairy-types for Weavile. In return, Weavile eliminates Pokemon such as Reuniclus and Landorus that threaten Pecharunt. Weavile also appreciates powerful special attackers such as Landorus, Iron Moth, and Hisuian Electrode, as they are able to break physical walls such as Skarmory and Moltres, Add primarina asw as well as Pokemon walling all of Weavile's moves like Zacian-C. Wording here is a little ambiguous as it could sound like zacian-c is a good partner for weavile, so I'd probably rewrite this a little bit to seperate zacian from the physical walls, and instead give it a section of its own (which is kinda deserves cause zacian is by the worst mon to fight as a weavile) Also, Weavile pairs well with hazard setters such as Skarmory and Ting-Lu, as Weavile is able to remove opposing Heavy-Duty Boots and rack up chip damage, making itself even harder to switch into.

As Weavile is weak to Stealth Rock and still vulnerable to other hazards, hazard control from Pokemon such as Great Tusk, Hatterene, and Iron Treads Corviknight Thought about it, and treads isn't really a great teammate w weavile, as they operate on quite different team styles (treads usually functions better on ho teams, while weavile works best on bulky offense teams with lots of pivots) Corviknight functions much better in this regard, and it should definetly be mentioned here instead are important to keep hazards off. In addition, though Weavile is powerful and fast, it is incredibly frail, thus necessitating pivots like Rotom-W, Pecharunt, and Landorus-T. Pecharunt is especially useful, being able to switch into Fairy- and Fighting-type moves and threatening Fairy-types for Weavile.

Weavile also appreciates powerful special attackers such as Landorus, Iron Moth, and Hisuian Electrode, as they are able to break physical walls such as Skarmory, Moltres, and Primarina. Landorus and Iron Moth are also helpful in breaking Pokemon completely walling Weavile such as Zacian-C. Zacian should be pretty much the only mention here, as you have already discussed the other mons that check weavile earlier. As such, I'd probably reword this to make zacian the only focus by saying something along the lines of "zacian is a terrible mu for weavile, so teammates that can handle like lando and imoth are helpful" Also, Weavile pairs well with hazard setters such as Skarmory and Ting-Lu, as Weavile is able to remove opposing Heavy-Duty Boots and rack up chip damage, making itself even harder to switch into.
