Galarian Weezing's fantastic offensive and defensive typing and respectable Special Attack stat allows it to serve as an offensive utility option for many teams. It also has good natural physical bulk, which lets it check a wide range of Pokemon such as Golisopod, Tsareena, and Flygon. Sludge Bomb allows Galarian Weezing to prevent a lot of its checks such as Celebi and Gardevoir from safely switching into it while also allowing it to 2HKO opposing Galarian Weezing. Fire Blast lets Galarian Weezing offensively check Escavalier and Doublade and punishes Bronzong for attempting to switch in. This set serves as an effective Toxic Spikes setter due to having a good matchup versus entry hazard removers such as Noivern, defensive Galarian Weezing, and Tsareena. Galarian Weezing can also serve as an effective Defogger, capable of finding opportunities to Defog by using its bulk and the switches it forces against Pokemon such as Incineroar, Umbreon, and Golisopod; however, it cannot beat most entry hazard setters such as Gigalith and Bronzong one-on-one. Toxic is an option that can punish switch-ins such as Mantine, Vaporeon, Chandelure, and Gigalith. Pain Split can be used to provide an extra source of recovery. Levitate allows Galarian Weezing to switch into Flygon and Rhyperior. 44 Speed EVs are used to outspeed Umbreon.
Due to its lack of reliable recovery, Galarian Weezing greatly appreciates Wish support from Pokemon such as Vaporeon and Umbreon. Both Pokemon can help to check Chandelure; furthermore, Umbreon can help check Psychic-types such as Reuniclus, Necrozma, and Espeon and appreciates Galarian Weezing being able to switch into Pokemon that can threaten it such as Choice Band Pangoro. Vaporeon, on the other hand, can check Pokemon such as Inteleon, Rhyperior, and Gigalith. Other bulky Water-types like Jellicent and Mantine can help check Lucario and Cobalion; Jellicent can also break walls with Taunt and Galarian Weezing's Toxic Spikes, while Mantine can offer Defog support and a Chandelure check. Incineroar is a great option, checking Chandelure and Celebi and providing a switch-in to Doublade and Escavalier. In return, it appreciates Galarian Weezing switching into Pokemon like Flygon and Sirfetch'd. Noivern can offensively check many threats to Galarian Weezing such as Cobalion, Lucario, and Roserade while being able to serve as an alternative Defog user. Steel-types like Bronzong and Escavalier can help to check Gardevoir, Roserade, and Celebi. Pokemon such as Celebi, Doublade, and the aforementioned Escavalier appreciate Galarian Weezing's Toxic Spikes support to help them break through opposing teams, crippling their checks like Umbreon and Milotic.

Physically defensive Galarian Weezing is a great check to Pokemon such as Sirfetch'd, Pangoro, and Rhyperior, and can even soft check Haxorus. Will-O-Wisp allows Galarian Weezing to burn Pokemon such as Rhyperior, Doublade, and Escavalier. Defensive Galarian Weezing can serve as an effective Defogger, as it is able to find many opportunities to remove entry hazards against opposing teams due to its good bulk. Toxic punishes switch-ins such as Milotic, Chandelure, and Mantine. Flamethrower can be used instead to directly threaten Steel-types such as Doublade and Escavalier. Galarian Weezing can also run other options such as Pain Split, especially on teams lacking Wish support, to offer more longevity, Aromatherapy to provide Cleric support to its team, and Protect to scout Choice item users like Chandelure and Gardevoir. Levitate allows Galarian Weezing to check Rhyperior and Flygon. 44 Speed EVs allow Galarian Weezing to outspeed Umbreon.
Defensive Galarian Weezing fits primarily on bulky offense and balance teams that benefit from the role compression and great physical bulk it provides. Noivern can help check threats to Galarian Weezing such as Roserade, Machamp, and Lucario, and in return it appreciates Galarian Weezing checking Rhyperior and Gigalith. Steel-types such as Escavalier, Doublade, and Cobalion can help to check Gardevoir; Escavalier can also check Roserade and Celebi, while Cobalion can provide Stealth Rock and a secondary Haxorus check. Incineroar and Gigalith can help check Chandelure and Ninetales, which can use defensive Galarian Weezing for free turns. Incineroar can also provide momentum and a check to Steel-types like Doublade and Escavalier, while Gigalith can help check Noivern and Gardevoir. Bulky Water-types such as Jellicent and Vaporeon can help to check Inteleon; Jellicent can further check Cobalion and Swords Dance Lucario, while Vaporeon can provide a Chandelure check and Wish passing. Machamp, Heliolisk, and Rotom-C can help to break bulky Water-types such as Milotic and Mantine that can wall Galarian Weezing. Machamp can also help to pressure opposing offensive Galarian Weezing, while Heliolisk appreciates Galarian Weezing checking Flygon. Rhyperior can provide a useful check to Toxtricity, which can switch in on defensive Galarian Weezing fairly easily for free breaking opportunities.
