Most of Weezing's flexibility comes from TMs. Same-type output runs through Belch and Gunk Shot, but Fire and Normal and the rest of the TM pool push it from predictable to genuinely threatening.

In Scarlet & Violet, Weezing looks average on paper at 490 BST. But Levitate is why it sees play. Build around that and it pulls its weight. B-Tier on our tier list. Sludge Bomb with Rocky Helmet is the standard set.
Weezing gets Levitate, Neutralizing Gas, and Stench. But Levitate is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that.
Weezing is leaning toward the physical side (base 90 Attack). Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. At base 60 Speed, it won't be moving first often.
For Scarlet & Violet, the core moveset is Sludge Bomb, Will O Wisp, Painsplit, and Haze. Sludge Bomb leads at 21% usage. This set covers the balanced role with a mix of damage and utility.
Available since Red & Blue, Weezing appears in 20 games spanning 10 generations. Beyond its original form, it gained a Galarian form in Generation 8.
