New to this so I hope it's ok.

[OVERVIEW]
<p>Weezing is one of the greatest physical walls to use in the UU metagame, as it can deal with top physical threats like Dragon Dance Feraligatr and Swords Dance Venusaur exceptionally well. If your team is weak to physical sweepers, Weezing can easily remedy the problem with its great physical bulk and access to Will-O-Wisp. However, Weezing suffers due to its low Special Defense stat and hence can be easily defeated by most powerful neutral special attacks.</p>
[SET]
name: Physical Wall
move 1: Flamethrower / Sludge Bomb
move 2: Thunderbolt
move 3: Will-O-Wisp / Haze
move 4: Pain Split
item: Leftovers
nature: Bold
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
[SET COMMENTS]
<p>Weezing is a fantastic physical wall with its 120 base Defense stat coupled with a usable base 65 HP stat. Its Poison-typing and Levitate ability allow it to switch into Fighting- and Ground-type attacks without fear.</p>
<p>Weezing can easily switch into the deadliest of sweepers and pose an immediate threat with either a burn via Will-O-Wisp or by negating the foe's stat boosts with Haze. On the attacking side, Fire Blast or Flamethrower allows you to hit the likes of Torterra and Registeel for super effective damage. The second attacking slot goes to Thunderbolt in order to hit Pokemon who resist Weezing's Fire-type move, such as Feraligatr and Azumarill. Pain Split is Weezing's most reliable recovery method; it isn't ideal by any means, but is satisfactory nonetheless.</p>
[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
<p>Weezing's biggest weakness is its average Special Defense stat combined with its average HP stat, which means most special attacks will deal heavy damage. A partner such as Chansey is excellent at sponging the special attacks that will fly Weezing's way, while Weezing can take the physical Fighting-type moves that are bound to attack Chansey. Chansey can also pass Wish to help Weezing recover health more reliably. Weezing tends to lure in Psychic-type Pokemon, so a Dark-type such as Drapion can benefit from the free switch-in by setting up Toxic Spikes or using Swords Dance. Houndoom is another Dark-type who can benefit from a free switch into a Psychic-type attack with its ability to set up with Nasty Plot.</p>
[SET]
name: RestTalker
move 1: Flamethrower / Fire Blast
move 2: Will-O-Wisp / Thunderbolt
move 3: Rest
move 4: Sleep Talk
item: Leftovers
nature: Bold
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
[SET COMMENTS]
<p>With this set, Weezing uses the more reliable recovery duo of Rest and Sleep Talk to absorb status and potentially deal out status. Flamethrower or Fire Blast are Weezing's best option for a reliable attacking move, as Fire-type attacks provide good coverage in UU. Will-O-Wisp is to escape being set-up bait for the likes of Dragon Dance Altaria and Dragon Dance Feraligatr, but Thunderbolt is an option instead to prevent Weezing from being walled by most Fire-types.</p>
[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
<p>RestTalk Weezing has very similar problems to the Physical Wall set: powerful special attacks and Psychic-type attacks. Again, Chansey is recommended to sponge special attacks for Weezing, while Weezing can take the Fighting-type attacks aimed at Chansey. If Weezing lacks Thunderbolt, it is completely walled by Houndoom, as Houndoom eats any Fire-type attacks Weezing uses and converts them into a Flash Fire boost. Thick Fat Hariyama and Poliwrath are good partners for Weezing in this scenario, as they both resist Houndoom's STAB attacks and can retaliate with a super effective STAB move in return. Both of them will have to watch out for Hidden Power Flying, however.</p>
<p>The decision between Fire Blast and Flamethrower is a matter of PP and accuracy versus power; for a defensive Pokemon, PP and accuracy are vital assets to have, so Flamethrower is generally preferred.</p>
[TEAM OPTIONS]
<p>Due to Weezing's poor Special Defense stat, it can easily be severely damaged by most powerful special attacks. As such, a Pokemon who can shrug off special attacks is essential to using Weezing successfully. Chansey is the perfect Pokemon for this position, as she takes the special attacks aimed at Weezing with her huge HP and Special Defense stats, and is also capable of crippling special attackers with Thunder Wave or Toxic. They also have good type synergy, as Weezing can take the Fighting-type attacks aimed at Chansey. Registeel is another valuable partner for Weezing, as it resists the Psychic-type attacks Weezing hates with its good Special Defense stat, and Weezing can take the Fighting- and Ground-type attacks Registeel dislikes. Registeel can also support the team with Stealth Rock and Thunder Wave.</p>
<p>In addition to Weezing's weakness to special attacks, its Psychic-type weakness opens up more problems. Again, Registeel can be used to sponge Psychic-type attacks aimed at Weezing. Dark-type Pokemon like Absol and Drapion also appreciate a free switch into a Psychic-type attack; Absol can switch into a Psychic-type attack and either dispatch of the Psychic-type user with STAB Pursuit or set up a Swords Dance to sweep while Drapion can also use the Psychic-type attack to switch in and set up a Swords Dance or Toxic Spikes.</p>
[OPTIONAL CHANGES]
<p>Memento is usable if you need to cripple a Pokemon to set up one of your own. Taunt can work to prevent the opponent from inflicting Weezing with status or recovering itself, and Weezing outspeeds the common defensive Pokemon who sit at base 50 Speed, so it can make some use of it. Explosion can be used to surprise Pokemon such as Houndoom who expect Weezing to flee.</p>
<p>Weezing can use a more offensive set with Thunderbolt, Fire Blast, and a Hidden Power of choice, but it is generally inferior to most other special attackers while losing out on its fantastic bulk to an extent.</p>
<p>In terms of EVs, Weezing should stick to maximum HP and Defense, as that helps it wall physical attackers better, and trying to increase its Special Defense isn't usually worth the loss in Defense.</p>
[COUNTERS]
<p>Houndoom is the biggest threat to Weezing as it can come in on a Fire-type attack, pick up a Flash Fire boost in the process, and force Weezing out with powerful STAB special attacks. Other Fire-types such as Arcanine and Moltres tend to be effective Weezing counters as well since they resist Weezing's Fire-type attacks and are immune to Will-O-Wisp.</p>
<p>Any hard-hitting special attacker tends to give Weezing trouble due to its low Special Defense and the fact that special attackers tend to not mind Will-O-Wisp. Offensive Milotic is a good counter to Weezing, as it can use the burn from Will-O-Wisp to activate Marvel Scale and proceed to smash Weezing with a STAB Hydro Pump.</p>
<p>Chansey sponges Weezing's special attacks excellently, and can cripple Weezing with Thunder Wave. She also doesn't mind a burn thanks to Natural Cure.</p>
<p>RestTalkers with a boosting move such as Spiritomb can switch into Weezing and set up on it with ease as they don't mind status. The only problem to be wary of is Weezing who carry Haze.</p>
