Damage multipliers this Pokemon takes from each attacking type (based on the current form).
Damage multipliers of this Pokemon's same-type (STAB) moves against each defending type.
High-firepower meta Pokémon that hit it super-effectively by type (estimated, not battle data)
Based on real ladder matchup statistics and expert community assessments (data snapshot 2026-05)
Weavile sits at 0.39% usage in high-rated singles (rank 114), a niche presence. The Smogon community nominated it for B tier but rejected it after calculations revealed fatal matchup holes: it cannot KO high-HP Primarina (Poison Jab + Ice Shard fails to KO; Moonblast + Aqua Jet wins outright), and loses to Kingambit (Brick Break leaves it out of Ice Shard KO range, then Iron Head + Sucker Punch finishes). Dragon-types freely switch in to avoid Ice Shard. Zero appearances in top-300 ladder teams confirm near-absent ultra-high-rating representation.
Playstyle:Standard build is Jolly, Attack/Speed maxed, with Focus Sash (59.6%) to ensure survival against priority moves, or Never-Melt Ice (15.7%) for Ice-type power. Core moves: Knock Off, Ice Shard, Low Kick, and Triple Axel — a combination of priority and high-damage hits. Pickpocket (54.5%) ties with Pressure (45.5%) as the ability of choice; Pickpocket can steal opponent items on contact hits, occasionally generating surprise value. Community consensus: Weavile serves as a situational problem-solver rather than a consistent singles powerhouse.
Weavile posts 1.08% in high-rated doubles (rank 68) with 19 tournament appearances and a 50.3% win rate — just above neutral. Unlike its singles struggles, its priority move toolkit is genuinely valuable in the faster doubles environment: Fake Out (24.1%, highest usage move) disrupts opposing leads immediately, Knock Off removes items in the first turn, and Ice Shard provides priority damage. Community notes it as carrying King's Rock for binding specific targets over two turns and serving as a limited anti-Trick Room counter.
Playstyle:Doubles standard is Adamant, Attack/Speed maxed, with Focus Sash (89.8%) as the near-universal item choice — surviving the first hit in doubles is critical to enable Fake Out then a follow-up. Move priority: Fake Out (24.1%), Knock Off (23.5%), Low Kick (14.6%), Icicle Crash (10.6%), Ice Shard (7.4%), Protect (6.9%). Pickpocket (71.9%) is dominant, with higher odds of stealing opponent items on contact moves in doubles. Top partners — Garchomp (14.4%), Charizard-Mega-Y (13.7%), Basculegion (11.9%), and Whimsicott (11.1%) — point to its role as a Fake Out + high-pressure opener, with Whimsicott providing Tailwind to amplify its naturally high Speed.
