Strategy Overview

Weezing's good physical bulk, defensive typing, and access to Levitate and Will-O-Wisp allow it to check various physical threats such as Toxicroak, Silvally-Ground, and Golurk all in one. Weezing can also restrict defensive Pokemon and bulky setup sweepers such as Vileplume, Snorlax, and Doublade with Taunt. However, Weezing has no reliable recovery besides Pain Split, meaning it struggles to stay healthy. Many special attackers such as Starmie, Salazzle, and Exploud easily switch into and threaten Weezing due to its bad special bulk and limited coverage. Finally, Weezing faces slight competition with other defensive Poison-types such as Garbodor and Vileplume, which check similar physical threats and offer some nice support options such as Spikes and a useful secondary typing, respectively.
