Strategy Overview

Weavile finds its place in STABmons as a fast and versatile revenge killer. Its great Attack stat and incredible Speed tier are backed up by a potent STAB combination that heavily threatens common metagame threats such as Landorus-T, Thundurus, and Meloetta. Its utility is improved by its expansive movepool, which contains strong priority in Sucker Punch, excellent coverage in Low Kick and Poison Jab, and utility options in Pursuit and Parting Shot. However, the same typing that gives Weavile excellent offensive prowess leaves it weak to common attacking types such as Fairy, Fire, Fighting, Rock, and Steel, which means that it struggles against threats such as Mega Lopunny and Mega Scizor. Weavile is exceptionally frail, is weak to Stealth Rock, and commonly holds a Life Orb, so it is worn down very quickly and is vulnerable to priority moves such as the omnipresent Fake Out + Extreme Speed.
