Galarian Weezing serves as a primary counter to Conkeldurr, and it is one of the only Pokemon in the tier to be able to do so. It has access to numerous utility moves such as Defog, Toxic, Will-o-Wisp, Toxic Spikes, Taunt, Aromatherapy, and its ability to switch in comfortably on Conkeldurr, Clefable, Mandibuzz, absorb Salazzle's Toxic, and Obstagoon gives it a niche in OU. Weezing's ability, Neutralizing Gas, serves as an amazing answer to Conkeldurr's Guts and Clefable's Magic Guard specifically as it enables Weezing to take hits from the non-Guts boosted Conkeldurr and Toxic the Clefable, pressuring it.
Aside from Strange Steam, Weezing's main STAB attack, Flamethrower is used to pressure Steel types in OU like Ferrothorn and Toxic is mainly used to pressure Clefable after blocking its Magic Guard. Weezing benefits from max HP and max Defense in order to take on Conkeldurr as well as possible. Some teammates that complement Weezing are strong special attackers in OU right now - such as Hydreigon, Kyurem, and Dragapult, who benefit from Clefable being incapacitated, as well as Pokemon that are held back by Conkeldurr's presence, such as Tyranitar, Bisharp, Excadrill, and Terrakion. Weezing is susceptible to free switch-ins from Steel types such as Corviknight, Aegislash, and Jirachi. Rotom-Heat and Mandibuzz are optimal teammates to help cover these weaknesses. Clefable is also a great teammate as it can provide Wish support, as Weezing by itself has no recovery and can therefore be chipped by an opposing Conkeldurr easily.
