[Overview]
<p>Weedle boasts the prestigious "Smallest Movepool in all of Little Cup" award, trumping even Caterpie, Burmy, and the fearsome Magikarp with its minuteness. Utilizing its amazingly concise movepool, Weedle can make for act as an extreme nuisance to the other team, eating all Oran Berries in its path, poisoning unsuspecting victims who switch in thinking they can forge through a powerful Poison Sting, and crippling opposing sweepers with a tactical String Shot. Furthermore, Weedle has the highest Attack stat out of the former three all the aforementioned limited-movepool behemoths, making it even more of a superior choice when considering one of the four for your team. However, it's not all rainbows and butterflies for Weedle (well, rainbows and bees I guess). Weedle is faced with fearsome competition, finding itself having to differentiate itself from hailed sweepers like Gligar, who is also able to learn Poison Sting, providing even more competition making it quite the rival for a teamslot. When considering putting Weedle on your team, you must make be sure to utilize it's its advantages over other Pokemon, mainly String Shot, Bug Bite, and Poison Sting. Although many other Pokemon learn these moves, I guarantee you that you will more than likely only see them this potent combination on Weedle as they are the most effective moves he has.

[SET COMMENTS]
<p>This is the only set Weedle can run, because, well, its it's this is its entire movepool. But don't fret! Weedle doesn't even need four moves, as it is able to pose an extremely moderate threat with its this holy trinity of moves alone. Bug Bite is Weedle’s strongest STAB attack, and will hurt most Pokemon more than any of it’s its other attacks. Not even Pokemon that can resist Bug Bite can switch in safely in for fear of losing their precious Oran Berry. The fact that Weedle is fairly uncommon also helps also, since opposing walls that switch in won't be aware of the potential loss of their Berry. It should be noted that Bug Bite can 6HKO Aron (5HKO with Choice Band), an impressive feat. Poison Sting is for secondary STAB, but is considerably weaker than Bug Bite. However there is one reason and one reason alone that warrants its use and that is poison. Just watch as your opponent winces in rage and cries in fear as when their precious Weedle switch in check becomes crippled with the bane that is regular poison, causing them to lose a full 12.5% of their health every single turn. Finally, String Shot allows Weedle to outspeed all Pokemon below 17 Speed after a single String Shot, allowing it to attack strike first against those foes, or set up an essential sweep for a teammate (unless they the opponent switches switch out of course).</p>
[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
<p>Life Orb allows Weedle to deal heavy damage to everything even foes that resists it resist its attacks, dealing a solid 12% to defensive Gligar with Bug Bite; however Oran Berry is an option to prolong Weedle's rampage. Choice Band boosts Weedle's Attack, allowing it to hurt opponents easier really put the hurt on opponents. However, locking itself into String Shot is not a good idea. Adamant nature allows Weedle to destroy its enemies, while lowering its Special Attack which is merely a pittance in comparison to boosting Weedle's titanic base 35 Attack stat. The EV spread maximizes Weedle’s HP and Attack, while increasing its Defense and Speed by one point. With the extra point in Speed, Weedle hits 12 Speed, allowing it to blaze past even more Pokemon before and after a String Shot.</p>
<p>Weedle appreciates the company of Rapid Spinners that can get rid of entry hazards, which are hazardous to Weedle due to its vulnerability to Stealth Rock and Spikes. A good Rapid Spinning slave that Weedle can abuse the presence of is Sandshrew, who can Rapid Spin away any entry hazards, while also being able to set up it’s its own in the form of Stealth Rock, which can also benefit Weedle. Sandshrew can also learn the fearsome Poison Sting, which can assist Weedle in spreading deadly regular poison throughout the opponent's team, while getting rid of Poison and Steel-type adversaries with powerful Earthquakes or Digs. Wynaut is arguably the best teammate, being able to Encore a move that Weedle resists, allowing Weedle to come in without being 2HKOed and start attacking its assault. Wynaut can also eliminate the select Pokemon that Weedle has trouble with by using Counter or Mirror Coat.</p>
[Other Options]
<p>In terms of moves, Weedle has none, due to it only having three moves in its entire movepool arsenal. Weedle can be used in a Trick Room team with the Speed EVs moved to Special Defense, and by using with a Brave nature, although it isn't recommended as it interferes with the due to interfering with String Shot strategy. Weedle can also run a Choice Band set consisting solely of Poison Sting and Bug Bite, but Weedle it generally enjoys the freedom of switching moves.
[Checks and Counters]
<p>There are very few Pokemon in the entire metagame that can boast being the perfect Weedle counter due to the side effects of Weedle's moves. Although almost every Pokemon in the metagame has the potential to do well against Weedle, they must be wary of losing their Berry, becoming crippled with poison, or suffering from being afflicted by the Speed-lowering effect of String Shot. Although Weedle boasts excellent defensive and offensive stats, it still has trouble dealing damage to certain defensive bastions and sustaining damage from offensive powerhouses like Combee, which has with Pokemon like Combee, who are simultaneously defensive bastions and offensive powerhouses in their own right; be careful, as they have the potential to brave through Weedle's destruction if they lack a consumable item and or are immune to poison. A good example of such a fiendish adversary is Gligar, who resists both its of Weedle's STAB attacks, outspeeds Weedle even after a String Shot, and has decent offensive stats to eliminate Weedle. Although Life Orb variants certainly don't mind Weedle's Bug Bite, but they still despise the extra passive poison damage, however. Fire-type Pokemon also do well against Weedle's onslaught, being able to switch in on a Bug Bite and OHKO Weedle with a STAB move; examples include Ponyta and Growlithe, who can defeat Weedle with Flare Blitz. Bronzor, however is the ultimate bane of Weedle's existance existence, being immune to poison and having access to Recycle, which can stop a Weedle sweep cold.</p>
