Using Weavile
Weaville is a typical high-speed offensive Pokemon. Though it has pretty weak physical defense. Weavile also has quite a lot of weaknesses, so it would be wise not to allow the enemy to take advantage of this early on.
Fortunately, you can use Fake Out to gradually chip away your opponent’s health, which is quite useful for opponents with Focus Sash. Pressure will be very good against Dragon type Pokemon, with Multiscale Dragonite being the one of the most commonly used by other players.

- Having an Ice and Fighting-type move is good against Dragon-type Pokemon, as well as the very typical Mega Kangaskhan that most other players are using.
- Life Orb is useful for getting more damage out of moves like Fake Out and Ice Shard/Low Kick.
- While Focus Sash may be a viable option in some situations, its not particularly useful against opponents like Mega Kangaskhan.
Countering Weavile
Though Weavile is a good mix of speed and power, it’s many weaknesses and low defense is its bane. There aren’t a lot players who are using Focus Sash as well, so it won’t be able to take advantage of its typical setup. Inflicting status ailments is also good when dealing with Weavile.
