Weezing Weakness
Type-wise, Weezing takes extra damage from Ground and Psychic. The Poison typing picks up 5 resistances to work with. Levitate grants an additional Ground immunity, reshaping the matchup chart. Weezing's physical bulk (base 120 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.

Base Stats
Weezing loves the gases given off by rotted kitchen garbage. This Pokémon will find a dirty, unkempt house and make it its home. At night, when the people in the house are asleep, it will go through the trash.
Weezing alternately shrinks and inflates its twin bodies to mix together toxic gases inside. The more the gases are mixed, the more powerful the toxins become. The Pokémon also becomes more putrid.
Weezing Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Guide

For Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, the core moveset is Will O Wisp, Flamethrower, Toxic, and Sludge Bomb. Will O Wisp leads at 0% usage. This set covers the balanced role with a mix of damage and utility.
