How to beat Weavile
Weavile’s game is Speed + Knock Off + priority Ice Shard. The clean stops are bulky Fighting-types (a 4× weakness — they outlast and OHKO it) and Steel-types that resist its Ice STAB and fire back priority Bullet Punch. Because it’s frail, any super-effective priority revenge-kills it. Beware Knock Off stripping your items, and Low Kick / coverage aimed at your Steel walls.
Iron HandsFightingElectricFighting is a 4× hit and Iron Hands’ bulk lets it eat a Knock Off/Ice Shard and Drain Punch straight back.
ScizorBugSteelResists Weavile’s Ice STAB and answers with priority Bullet Punch, which is super-effective into its Ice half — Weavile can’t out-prioritize it.
