Good damage to Chansey and other physically frail Pokémon. But it does have a chance to poison. Be mindful of that, unless you actually want the opponent to be poisoned instead of paralyzed. -guess what? Burns are like poisoning but better. Fire Blast is good, just don't turn Starmie or Alakazam into an invincible titan. -Explode. You know why you're using Weezing to begin with. Just do it already.

I really like RBY OU's linear design because then I imagine all the Pokémon in the tier have a personality, rather than "oh this Landorus sure does exist on that guy's team". For instance, Tauros and Chansey are the former high school couple that went on to marry and birth a kid, Snorlax, that combines their offensive and defensive presences respectively. Exeggutor is the licensed meth-head who always talks about giving people "the good plant" and blowing up the town. Starmie doesn't have a heart or a brain, but yet he still does. He's "The Thing". Rhydon is Tauros' dad, who scolds him whenever he doesn't run Blizzard. And Kingler is the tourist who always wants to show a bit of his culture to the rest of OU, aka "Swords Dance cuisine".

Clefable learns more moves that do something when you click them than just about any pokemon in the game, and between blizzard, thunderbolt, thunderwave, sing, and stab normal moves, clefable is so good at almost trading with something."
