This article gives you ideas of how to use Weezing in battle in the Pokémon Black, Pokémon White and Pokemon B2W2 Games. It lists popular movesets used by competitive battlers, as well as a description on how to use each set to help you understand why the moves were chosen. These popular sets are usually the best to use in battle and so reading this guide will help you in your team building.
Gen 4: OverviewWeezing is usually used in UU balanced as a physical wall and variety attacker. Weezing can also be featured in balanced UU teams as the same role.

Weezings premiere set of all time, set of which that can save a somewhat frail team from being swept by the offensive threats that you see in the common metagame everyday, UU offensive threats and better yet even tough offensive OU threats. Although, it is only really classified as a sponge, it can effectively counter those Physical figthers like Breloom, Heracross, Scizor, Lucario and totally pulvirizes Gyarados.
Having it holding Hidden Power Ice is a great thing for dragons such as Dragonite and can even 2HKO standard Yache Dragonite. As well as other dragons too. 80 Special Attack EVs are used to 2HKO the standard Skaemory with its Flamethrower.
To summarize all of the above that into simple terms -- Thunderbolt hits Gyarados; HP Ice hits physical Salamence and any Flygon; and Flamethrower hits Heracross, Lucario, Metagross, Skarmory, Forretress, Abomasnow, Scizor, and Roserade for super effective damage, while Fire Blast can guarantee a OHKO on Abomasnow and a 2HKO on Roserade.
Pain Split versus Explosion is simply personal preference. If scraping by and surviving as long as possible is the style of play, then by all means choose Pain Split. However, note that Explosion can help deal massive damage to late game stat boosters and allow a no risk switch in to the appropriate counter, since Explosion faints Weezing.

This set uses the RestTalk combo while also using an elemental range of attacks and status inducing abilities. This set can be underated quite alot and can be a huge suprise to Gyarados users! Weezing uses Rest, your opponent switches to Gyarados to set-up and/or Taunt, and then Sleep Talk selects Thunder or Will–O–Wisp to cripple Gyarados. Thunder or Will–O–Wisp are also very helpful for UU play too. Weezing makes a very good switch into Grass-type Pokemon such as Breloom and Venusaur. Unlike other sets Weezing is using Rest instead of Pain Split, which isn´t really the most effecient and reliable recovery move in the game, anyone who ever used it while their opponent switched to a Pokémon on low health will know that. Rest isn´t the best either, but coupled with Sleep Talk it gives Weezing about the same durability.
Weezings most common and most used set it the Elemental display set which it uses a variety of different type attacks to try and defeat a variety of different Pokemon. It also features the infamous BoltBeaming combo.
Other OptionsTaunt can be an intruiging option to stop slower things from inflicting status problems or from recovering. Using Curse could be good if Weezing had any other physical attacks reaming, but it´s only two options are Gyro Ball and Payback. Not to meantion Weezings Special Defense is not so good. Memento and Destiny Bond are two alternate suicidal moves for Weezing. Destiny Bond isn´t very suitable with Weezing´s low Speed, but Memento can work if you really need a crippled opponent to set up your next Pokémon, for example a Belly Drummer or Agility user etc.
Black Sludge is an alternative hold item to Leftovers in an Item Clause situation, but otherwise shouldn´t be used. It may sound appetizing at first to punish Pokemon using Trick, but that only gives the Tricker another weapon to use against other Pokemon which is not really worth it.
Weezings Sludge Bomb, despite having STAB to boost is not much use to Weezing as it offers poor type coveredge and alot of the Grass-types can be take care of with more useful fire attacks like Flamethrower and Fire Blast. Hidden Power Fighting hurts Tyranitar a little bit, although you´d be better off by burning it with Will–O–Wisp. Shadow Ball and Dark Pulse hit Azelf and Gengar. Hidden Power Ground takes Heatran by suprise and are easily 2HKOed.
Usual CountersA Psychic type Pokemon in general with a decently good Psychic type attack OHKOs Weezing. Blissey continues to work as a special wall and doesn´t care about Will–O–Wisp. Although Pain Split is horribly annoying. Think of Alakazam, Azelf, Cresselia, Gardevoir, Slowbro, the former two are a little more fragile, but Alakazam and Grdevoir are able to reflect back Will–O–Wisp at you due to Synchronize.
Heatran completely dominates Weezing, being it´s best counter in the game. It´s nearly as if Heatran was made to stop Weezing it is that good at countering it. Heatran the mobile active volcano gets a nice big boost from Will–O–Wisp and other possible fire moves Weezing is using. It is immune to Poison attacks and resists Explosion. Because of Weezings low Special Defense, Heatran completely wrecks it with STAB Fire-type moves.
Just behind Heatran is any other Fire-type Pokemon really. Flash Fire Pokemon especially. In particular, Caperupt which resists it´s Sludge Bomb and Infernape who is quite common. In general, if you´re a special attacker packing something neutral and decently powered, chances are Weezing does not want to meet you.
OpinionHeracross´ worst enemy is Weezing and up against other Fighting-type Pokemon too. With excellent resitances to threatning moves like Megahorn, Close Combat, and even Focus Punch plus Ground type immunity to furhter extend that he´s not going to be going anywhere soon. Unfortuneately the change from ADV to eventuallyHGSS was not very kind to Weezing. He got no real improvements, and with the exception of Explosion, he no longer has any moves to use with his decent physical Attack. The fact that Salamence, Gyarados, Medicham and Heracross all got moves to hit him harder with doesn´t help either. In spite of those drawbacks, Weezing is still good at what he does, but it´s hard to shrug off these problems.
