[SET COMMENTS]
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.
