Sporting a high base Speed and Attack stat, Weavile is adept at being a fast and hard-hitting physical attacker on Ice teams. Ice Shard is a STAB priority attack that picks off weakened foes and allows Weavile to serve as a revenge killer. Throat Chop hits Ghost- and Psychic-types such as Gengar and Bronzong for super effective damage. Low Kick is essential coverage that allows Weavile to OHKO the likes of Tyranitar, as well as Bisharp, which would otherwise be able to comfortably take Weavile's attacks. Weavile should be used as an early- or mid-game wallbreaker to punch holes through teams.



Setup sweepers such as Cloyster appreciate Weavile's wallbreaking capabilities that allow it to sweep more easily. Galarian Darmanitan and Weavile complement each other nicely, as they both often share the same checks and can form a wallbreaking core. Entry hazard setters such as Mamoswine, Piloswine, and Froslass can aid Weavile in wallbreaking foes. Avalugg and Galarian Mr. Mime are great teammates, as they can remove entry hazards, which allows Weavile to remain as healthy as possible during the course of the match. Both Galarian Darmanitan and Mamoswine threaten Steel-types with Flare Blitz and Earthquake. Vanilluxe is a fantastic teammate, as it provides the team with Aurora Veil support and has access to Freeze-Dry, which can threaten Pokemon such as Toxapex and Quagsire, which Weavile struggles to break. In addition, Lapras is also a good teammate, as it can threaten Water teams with Freeze-Dry and Water Absorb.

This seems fine, the main thing I would suggest adding is a usage tip on how to generally use Weavile as a wallbreaker. Explain what Throat Chop hits too since Weaviles the main Pokemon on Ice that gets Dark-type coverage. You can get away with removing the line about the spread. Also, remember to remove the “paragraph 2:”.

Give some examples of Pokemon that Throat Chop hits such as Gengar and Bronzong.

Move the first line in the second paragraph to the closing sentence in the first paragraph.

Mention that Galarian Darmanitan and Mamoswine can threaten Steel-type teams with Flare Blitz+Earthquake.

Add Lapras as a teammate because it can sponge a Fire attack or two and also threatens Water-type teams with Freeze Dry+Water Absorb.

Also add Galarian Mr. Mime which is a good spinner for offense with its base 100 Speed, and can also threaten Fighting-types with Psychic.
