Weezing is a magnificent Physical Wall to use for single battles. It's designed to withstand physical attacks and hit back effectively. With Levitate, Weezing is immune to damaging Ground-typed moves (except Thousand Arrows). Levitate also makes Weezing unaffected by the effects of Spikes, Arena Trap, Toxic Spikes, Sticky Web, Rototiller or terrain effects. Keep in mind that Ingrain, Gravity, Smack down and the Iron ball item will nullify Levitate's effect. With a Black Sludge equipped to it, each turn, if Weezing is a poison type, restores 1/16 max hp; loses 1/8 if not. With a Rocky Helmet equipped to it, if Weezing is hit by a contact move, the attacker loses 1/6 of its max hp.
◆ Taunt is a status move (target can't use status moves its next 3 turns).
◆ Toxic Spikes is a status move (poisons grounded foes on switch-in. Max 2 layers).
◆ Will-O-Wisp is a status move (burns the target).
Note: This moveset is vulnerable to Taunt. Ensure you include at least one damage-dealing move to avoid this risk.
