With a high base Speed and Attack stat, Weavile acts as a huge threat and revenge killer for Dark teams. Choice Scarf Weavile is able to revenge kill an abundance of threats including Galarian Darmanitan, Swift Swim Seismitoad and Drednaw, and Ribombee. Icicle Crash is a strong Ice-type STAB that hits Dragon- and Flying-type Pokemon such as Dracozolt, Kommo-o, Togekiss, and Hawlucha that are all major threats thanks to their powerful secondary STAB attacks. Foul Play does far more damage to boosted threats such as Gyarados, Mimikyu, and Drednaw allowing Weavile to revenge kill them. Low Kick allows Weavile to nail Dark-, Steel-, and Ice-types such as Tyranitar, Bisharp, and Galarian Darmanitan for super effective damage, preventing them from sweeping its team. Maximum Attack and Speed investment alongside a Jolly Nature allows Weavile to be as fast as possible to outpace all other Choice Scarf users as well as be able to hit as hard as possible.


Mandibuzz is a great teammate for Weavile, as it can use Defog to remove all entry hazards and tank Fighting-type attacks, which all threaten Weavile greatly. Bisharp can deal with Fairy-types such as Clefable that Weavile struggles with breaking. Tyranitar is able to take Fire-type attacks directed at Weavile and set Stealth Rock to provide chip damage to further allow Weavile to clean more easily. Grimmsnarl also benefits from Weavile being able to get rid of Bisharp and Aegislash for it, which would otherwise impede a sweep. Hydreigon appreciates Choice Scarf Weavile's presence, as it can get rid of the faster Dragon-type Pokemon such as Dragapult and Noivern that can OHKO Hydreigon. In return, Hydreigon can use its powerful Fire-type attacks to break through defensive Steel-types such as Ferrothorn and Corviknight that Weavile struggles to break.

Low Kick is also good against Pokemon such as Obstagoon, opposing Weavile, Galarian Darmanitan etc. so I'd name the types it hits effectively and name an example for each. Include Galarian Darmanitan as an example because it's a huge threat to Dark.

Shorten the first line of the second paragraph, no need to say Weavile is a grounded Ice-type and therefore weak to Stealth Rock. Just say that Mandibuzz can remove Stealth Rock which hinder Weavile.

Probably better to name some Pokemon that Icicle Crash hits super effectively and then name some types Weavile can take on well with it. I don't think saying it obliterates Dragon and Flying teams is the best way to approach it since both of them have some sort of counterplay to it.

Tyranitar > Obstagoon as something Low Kick hits.

"Choice Scarf Weavile is able to revenge kill an abundance of threats including Dragapult, Adamant Sand Rush Excadrill, Swift Swim Seismitoad and Drednaw.
Put this near the top, like as the second sentence. Describing what its main role is should go to the top. Also don't talk about Adamant Excadrill.

I don't think you need the last line, describing how Hydreigon can wallbreak some Pokemon that Weavile has trouble with is fine I feel, and its also notable that it can beat Steel-type Pokemon for it. Just go into a bit more detail about that and remove the line.

With a high base Speed and menacing Attack stat, Weavile poses a acts as a huge threat and revenge killer for Dark teams. Choice Scarf Weavile is able to revenge kill an abundance of threats including Dragapult (Quality: this is not threatening to Dark. Use Galarian Darmanitan as an example instead), Swift Swim Seismitoad and Drednaw, and Ribombee. Icicle Crash is a strong Ice-type STAB that hits Dragon- and Flying-type Pokemon such as Dracozolt, Kommo-o Dragapult, Haxorus, Togekiss, and Hawlucha that are all major threats thanks to their powerful secondary STAB attacks (Quality. Old examples were bad, and everyone knows Ice is strong against Flying and Dragon. Should explain why these are noteworth). Throat Chop is able to clean up both Ghost- and Psychic-type Pokemon such as Polteageist and Indeedee (Quality: why is this useful for a Dark team that is supposed to be good against them anyway?). Foul Play does far more damage to boosted threats such as Gyarados Aegislash, Mimikyu, and Drednaw, allowing Weavile to revenge kill them. Low Kick allows Weavile to nail Dark-, Steel-, and Ice-types such as Tyranitar, Bisharp, and Galarian Darmanitan for super effective damage, preventing them from sweeping its team. Maximum Attack and Speed investment alongside a Jolly Nature allows Weavile to be as fast as possible to outpace the vast majority of all (Choice Scarf Dragapult isn't meta right now) other Choice Scarf users as well as be able to hit as hard as possible.
