Competitive Strategy
Weavile is a fast, frail revenge killer and attacker. 125 Speed and 120 Attack let it strike first and hit hard with Knock Off and Icicle Crash, while Ice Shard provides priority. Swords Dance sets can sweep after a teammate faints. Its Ice/Dark typing gives it a 4× weakness to Fighting and 2× weaknesses to Fire, Rock, Steel, Bug, and Fairy, so it must be brought in on resisted hits and kept away from Fighting coverage. Pair it with Fire- or Steel-resistant partners and use Volt Switch or U-turn support for safe entries.
