[Overview]
Weavile is by far one of the fastest pokemon in UU. It has a high base stat and speed making it a great offensive threat but lacks strong hard hitting moves.
[SET]
name: Lead
move 1: Beat Up
move 2: Brick Break/Low Kick
move 3: Ice Shard/Ice Punch
move 4: Substitute
evs: 252 Atk / 176 Spe / 76 Hp
nature: Jolly
item: Kings Rock
ability: Pressure
[SET COMMENTS]
This set destroys focus sash Azelf and Froslass. Not only is beat up super effective and will kill them in a few hits, Weavile is faster so they will be forced to switch or just die.
Kings Rock gives beat up a flinch rate of approximately 45%, and can almost always prevent other leads on setting up hazards.
Ice shard is great behind a sub because it evades pokemon who try to sucker punch and finishes off scarfes.
Substitute is to evade status, while Brick break/low kick is to hit steel types such as registeel hard
[Additional Comments]
Ice shard is also used against the very few pokemon whi outspeed weavile such as Crobat and Aerodactyl.
Taunt can be used instead of substitute to deny hazards , status , and setting up , but spamming beat up behind a sub would be much better.
The extra evs in HP is for weavile to at least take 1 hit, or just have more subsitutes to set up.
The reason why he has 176 spe evs is because it
ensures it can outspeed all 115 base speed pokemon.
[Other Options]
Taunt can be used instead of substitute to deny hazards , status , and setting up , but spamming beat up behind a sub would be much better.
Night slash can also replace substitute, incase weavile is around till the end of the battle and needs to hit harder with it.
