Weezing Team Rental, Export, and Explanation
🕑 Added 2023-11-12 19:57:40 +0000 UTCHey all! Here's the Weezing team I used to win a huge 200+ person tournament this weekend. On the whole the team felt really strong, though I should warn you that using Weezing well is really difficult. If you're interested in using it, you need to be aware of how the abilities are affecting the game at present and how much that changes if weezing hits the board, while also considering what Weezing will contribute beyond neutralizing gas.

Weezing: These are IMO the best moves on Weezing as it allows it to be an incredibly disruptive support Pokemon. I'd heard some people liked gunk shot but IMO sludge bomb is important for its consistency. I used base weezing instead of galar because being weak to steel is a big deal, and the extra resistances dont justify it. Ghost tera was used to checkmate dragonite and to help against fake out - I think other tera types can totally work as well. Sitrus Berry allows Weezing to survive crucial double attacks which is really important.
Flutter Mane was the next Pokemon I added, because I wanted Pokemon that didn't need their abilities. I thought that the theory of being able to use tera fairy moonblast to KO tornadus before tailwind went up when paired with Weezing sounded really strong, but in practice this didn't come up often. Tbolt is the 4th move for frailer Torn since it lets me KO them without eating the tera.
Landorus-T was added next - I wanted intimidate and Landorus has great synergy with Weezing because it's immune to ground and can u-turn to position Weezing in after the turn starts (and Intimidate has activated). Standard moves, just max/max EVs because I didn't see a reason for bulk here. People asked about ability shield but I found it easy to get Intimidate in play even with Weezing, and I thought scarf was important to make sure the team was fast.
Next II added Roaring Moon. This is because I wanted Pokemon that 1) could provide speed control and 2) didn't need their abilities. With Tornadus out of the question, Roaring Moon made a lot of sense. I liked that it could still be super fast with speed booster energy, and that weezing disabled intimidate which is Roaring Moons biggest weakness. I went with a standard moveset - I considered breaking swipe but I was worried about grass types (especially amoonguss), and I already had intimidate and will-o-wisp. The EVs are just max speed, max attack while still getting speed boost, leftover in bulk.
I felt I was really weak to Urshifu-Rapid-Strike, so I was looking for answers next. IMO there's one Pokemon that's a clear winner, especially one that can beat Urshifu even without its ability (compared to Gastrodon who synergizes poorly with Weezing). I liked Swords Dance to take advantage of my ability to stop intimidate (and to outspeed and KO torn after a swords dance), and I ran horn leech as my grass move for the healing. I EVd it to outspeed chi-yu and urshifu, gave it a bunch of attack (I forget what for), and dumped the leftover in bulk.
My last Pokemon needed to be bringable vs trick room and be another tool vs Urshifu. I tried some bulky psychic types but in the end settled on a standard iron hands. It's a broken Pokemon, and I liked the addition of a slow bulky Pokemon with recovery that didn't use its ability. I EVd Iron Hands to be really fast, to outspeed Urshifu and chi-yu in tailwind, but in doing so I dropped attack which came back to bite me, and I wasn't even in tailwind with it all that often. This EV spread can probably be improved.
Hope this makes sense and you all enjoy using the team!

I actually tested Milotic but it doesn't work very well with Weezing or with the rest of this team - I don't think it can work on this team personally
Nadrian
Amazing team! Was wondering if there is a way for Milotic to fit in over Ogerpon?
