PVE Offensive Moves Explanation

• Fairy Wind synergizes well to enable Galarian Weezing for a budget Fairy-type role. 
• Tackle is a pretty bad move. 
• Play Rough takes advantage of STAB to offer the most damage output in general. 
• Sludge isn't great even with STAB, but it's good vs Grass and Fairy Pokemon.
• Brutal Swing is objectively great, but it doesn't have much synergy with Galarian Weezing.
• Overheat is a powerful move, but doesn't have any synergy nor STAB. 
• Hyper Beam can't be Super Effective against anything. TM this. 

PVE Defensive Moves Explanation

• Tackle is the fast move of choice, because it's the only option available. 
• Brutal Swing has an early damage window, great neutral coverage, and is a 3-bar move, making it the defensive Charged Move of choice.
• Acid is very similar after STAB is factored in, but is more widely resisted. 
• Play Rough has a very similar early damage window, but is used less frequently as a 2-bar. At least it hits harder. 
• Overheat is less likely to be used before Galarian Weezing faints, and is quite easy to dodge. But if it lands it could KO Steel-type attackers. 
• Hyper Beam is way too slow to be useful for defense.

PvP Moveset Explanation

Fairy Wind + Brutal Swing and Play Rough or Overheat 

Fairy Wind is a strong Fast Move with great neutral coverage and outstanding energy generation, making it the Fast Move of choice. This pairs with Brutal Swing's decently high power, great neutral coverage, and extremely low energy cost for quick barrages of Dark Type damage. This pairs perfectly with Play Rough for an occasional high-power blow after a Brutal Swing shield-bait, or Overheat to potentially nuke Galarian Weezing's would-be counters.

PvP Rating Explanation

Great League: 3.5 / 5

Galarian Weezing has a very interesting Fairy/Poison typing, which in theory should give it some unique niches where it could stand out. Good defensive stats result in decent bulk in Great League, which is a plus. The addition of Fairy Wind significantly improves Galarian Weezing's performance in the meta, giving it some actual use, especially in specific limited formats. Unfortunately Galarian Weezing will still struggle against common Steel-type Pokemon, unless Overheat is chosen at the cost of a STAB move. 

Ultra League: 0 / 5

Galarian Weezing has a max CP of 2293, which doesn't even reach the CP cap of Ultra League. It's better to consider other Pokemon instead. 

Master League: 0 / 5

In Master League, the only thing this Pokemon is smoking is defeat.
