(Major specifics of the moveset doesn't have a super large amount of relevance here, Tspikes is nice to kinda encourage glowbro to switch in and absorb them though).
Weezing is kind of a prime target for AV Glowbro to switch into, since its such a good check to it, especially if you haven't yet revealed whether you are defensive or offensive, and absorbs tspikes and sets future sight on it, and although corrosive gas is becoming a bit more common on weezing lately, glowbro still tends to be the go to switch in for a lot of teams, or can end up being forced in to absorb tspikes at some point potentially.
Removing glowbros assault vest goes a long way in allowing a teammate like Noivern to be able to 2HKO it with Hurricane/Draco meteor (as shown in below calcs), or letting a celebi pressure it better etc, eg. LO psychic 2hkoing it. Will-O-Wisp can help wear it down even more, but Corrosive gas is the real kicker here.
252 SpA Noivern Draco Meteor over 2 turns vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Slowbro-Galar: 348-411 (88.3 - 104.3%) -- 25% chance to 2HKO (OHKO with rocks)
252 SpA Noivern Hurricane vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Slowbro-Galar: 195-231 (49.4 - 58.6%) -- 98.8% chance to 2HKO
252 SpA Life Orb Celebi Psychic vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Slowbro-Galar: 212-251 (53.8 - 63.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
