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.

Weezing Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Weezing looks average on paper at 490 BST. But Levitate is why it sees play. Build around that and it pulls its weight. C-Tier on our tier list. Will O Wisp with Black Sludge 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 a special attacker with base 85 Sp. Atk. 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 Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, the core moveset is Will O Wisp, Flamethrower, Painsplit, and Clearsmog. Will O Wisp leads at 0% usage. This set covers the balanced role with a mix of damage and utility.
Game Availability
Available since Red & Blue, Weezing appears in 20 games spanning 10 generations. Beyond its original form, it gained a Galarian form in Generation 8.
