What a GAS!
Weezing @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Neutralizing Gas
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Sludge Bomb
- Will-O-Wisp / Toxic
- Toxic Spikes / Flamethrower
- Pain Split

PU! That's the stench of Weezing's obnoxious influence as a top-tier wall in the tier! Will-O-Wisp cripples physical attackers like Morpeko, Mabosstiff, and Poliwrath, while Toxic cripples walls like Articuno, Cryogonal, and Sableye. Toxic Spikes racks up additional residual damage against foes without Heavy-Duty Boots, like Basculin and Cacturne, while Flamethrower targets Perrserker and opposing Weezing. Neutralizing Gas and Rocky Helmet make it an effective switch-in to many physical attackers like Basculin and Medicham, especially when compounded with burn or poison. Special walls like Articuno and Appletun greatly appreciate Weezing's physically defensive capabilities, incapacitating threatening attackers like Tauros and Perrserker; in turn, it appreciates them checking special attackers like Farigiraf and Pyroar, respectively. Knock Off users like Morpeko and Perrserker can make other walls like Appletun and Sableye more vulnerable to its Toxic Spikes, crippling their roles in stopping wallbreakers like Poliwrath and Medicham.

PU! That's the stench of Weezing's obnoxious influence as a top-tier wall in the tier! Will-O-Wisp cripples physical attackers like Morpeko, Mabosstiff, and Tauros, (The lack of Poliwrath here is surprising; Weezing is notoriously good into it) while Toxic cripples walls like Articuno, Cryogonal, and Sableye. Toxic Spikes racks up additional residual damage against foes without Heavy-Duty Boots (Probably would add examples here such as Basculin, Medicham, etc.) , while Flamethrower targets Perrserker and opposing Weezing. Neutralizing Gas and Rocky Helmet make it an effective switch-in to many physical attackers like Morpeko and Tauros. (And can chip them down with Sludge Bomb / Status them, too.) Special walls like Articuno and Appletun greatly appreciate Weezing's physically defensive capabilities; in turn, it appreciates them checking special attackers like Farigiraf and Pyroar, respectively. (You should probably also mention Weezing status spreading to their checks, like Perrserker and Skuntank) Knock Off users like Morpeko and Perrserker can make foes more vulnerable to its Toxic Spikes and allow setup sweepers like Paldean Tauros and Samurott to more easily clean late-game. (Feels kind of odd to mention the line at the end since about the setup sweepers because all offensive pokemon like having status spread to help force chip. Why in particular do these 2 work well with Weezing?)

I gave this another look and should be ready for another check. Let me know of any other things I'm missing.

Special walls like Articuno and Appletun greatly appreciate Weezing's physically defensive capabilities, crippling statusing (just insinuating using a diff verb here bc idk if we allow "statusing"; cripple was used a lot so feel free to use a synonym) threatening attackers like Tauros and Perrserker; in turn, it appreciates them checking special attackers like Farigiraf and Pyroar, respectively. Knock Off users like Morpeko and Perrserker can make other walls like Appletun and Sableye more vulnerable to its Toxic Spikes, crippling their roles in stopping wallbreakers like Poliwrath and Medicham.

this somehow got missed but i cannot stress enough how neither peko or kauros are good examples since aura wheel is not a contact move and you're neutral to both electric and dark anyway, and kauros really isn't a favorable mu for it either since body slam paras are super annoying. mabosstiff, basculin, naclstack, and medicham especially are far more relevant examples where neutgas actually matters and really eases the matchup
