This Galarian Weezing functions as a bulky special attacker that boasts a surprisingly good coverage using its main STAB moves.
Strange Steam and Sludge Wave are its two main STAB moves, and can hit majority of the metagame for super effective damage. The former has a 20% chance to confuse the opposing Pokemon, while the latter has a 10% chance to inflict the Poison status.
The rest of its moves give it ample coverage. Flamethrower hits Steel-type Pokemon that can otherwise wall its main STAB moves for super effective damage. Thunderbolt, on the other hand, allows Galarian Weezing to threaten bulky Water-type Pokemon.
We're using a modified EV spread with 212 HP investment and 44 Speed investment. This ensures Galarian Weezing has some bulk and can still outpace slower attackers and walls. 252 Special Attack investment ensures that it hits as hard as possible with its special attacks.
Neutralizing Gas nullifies the opposing Pokemon's ability, allowing Galarian Weezing to threaten Pokemon that rely on their abilities.
We're using Expert Belt to boost the damage of Galarian Weezing's super effective moves by 20%.
| Clear Smog | A good utility STAB move that allows you to reset the field. |
|---|---|
| Fire Blast | Another stronger alternative to Flamethrower but only has 85% accuracy. |
| Sludge Bomb | Another strong STAB move. A little stronger than Sludge Bomb but has a lower chance of poisoning the opposing Pokemon. |
| Will-O-Wisp | A great utility move that allows you to burn the opponent and lower their Atk stat. |
| Toxic | One of the best move to apply a condition. Toxic allows you to stall against tanky Pokemon. |
| Nature | Bold(+Def, -Atk) |
|---|---|
| EV Spread | HP 252 / Def 252 / Sp.Def 4 |
| Final Stat Values | HP 172 / Def 189 / Sp.Atk. 105 / Sp.Def. 91 / Spd 80 |
| Ability | Neutralizing Gas |
| Held Item | Black Sludge |
| Moveset | ・Strange Steam ・Clear Smog ・Flamethrower ・Will-O-Wisp |
Galarian Weezing is a great choice for physical wall thanks to its unique dual-typing, giving it key resistances to some of the Metagame's most commonly used Pokemon.
Strange Steam is Galarian Weezing's signature move, and is a powerful STAB attack that has a 20% chance of confusing the target. Clear Smog is its secondary STAB and that resets the opposing Pokemon's stat changes.
It's remaining two moves are for coverage and utility. Flamethrower allows Galarian Weezing to hit Steel-type Pokemon that can otherwise wall it completely. Will-O-Wisp allows it to threaten physical attackers further, burning them and cutting their attack by half.
We're using a standard physically defensive spread, with full investment in HP and Defense. The remaining 4 EVs are placed in Special Defense to further boost its general bulkiness.
Neutralizing Gas nullifies the opposing Pokemon's ability, allowing Galarian Weezing to threaten Pokemon that rely on their abilities.
We're using Black Sludge for this build. When held by a Poison-type Pokemon, the item functions like Leftovers.
| Sludge Wave | A stronger alternative Clear Smog that hits harder and has a 10% chance to inflict the Poison status. |
|---|---|
| Toxic | Can be used instead of Will-O-Wisp to deter and cripple defensive Pokemon. |
| Protect | An alternative to Will-O-Wisp that protects Galarian Weezing from attacks, allowing it to rack up more residual damage with its status moves and gain recovery from Black Sludge. |
| Taunt | Allows Galarian Weezing to cripple defensive Pokemon and prevent them from using their recovery and status moves. |
| Memento | Causes Galarian Weezing to faint and lowers the opposing Pokemon's Attack and Special Attack by two stages. |
| Fire Blast | Another stronger alternative to Flamethrower but only has 85% accuracy. |
Galarian Weezing has a specific niche as a distruptor, using its unique ability to turn the tide of battle by nullifying the opposing Pokemon's ability. Pokemon like Diggersby, Crawdaunt, and Clefairy, who are reliant on their abilities, are easily stopped by Galarian Weezing simply switching in on them.
Galarian Weezing is a good choice for offensive and balanced teams alike looking for a sturdy wall that can support its team with its moves.
Weezing is a good choice for Hyper Offense teams that are looking for an attacker that can support the rest of its team. When used in such a team, Galarian Weezing is best used as a pseudo-support Pokemon as even with Expert Belt, its special attacks don't have enough power to sweep opposing Pokemon.

As a defensive Pokemon, Galarian Weezing essentially fills the same role as its Kantonian counterpart with the added Fairy-typing giving it more resistances.
What sets it apart is its ability Neutralizing Gas, allowing Galarian Weezing to distrupt sweepers or defensive Pokemon that rely on their abilities.
