Weavile (also Sneasel) - Early VGC Guide by 3x Regional Champion

[@manuelbareahidalgo7063]

Weavile's Pickpocket is actually a pretty cool tech vs Wide Lens Population Bomb from opposing Maushold.

congrats on 8k!

Gotta use this thing some time before Chien Pao becomes legal and ruin this guy (Though Fake Out does give it a good niche)

[@Henrirocha11]

I never really understood why sneasel has 3 abilities while weavile only has 2 like would It be so hard to let It have one of sneasel abilities along side pressure? Is there even any other mon that Just loses one abilitie option for no reason?

[@TheSpeep]

Flygon and Vibrava lose their HA slot even tho Trapinch gets one, but other than that I cant immediately think of any either.

[@Henrirocha11]

@@TheSpeep those are more understandable because levitate pokémon usualy only have levitate with some exeptions so at least there is a reason for the loss

[@Future.Trunks220]

A lot, prankster murkrow and riolu and I can't think of the rest lol

[@peregrinehawk8363]

​@@Future.Trunks220 those abilities are replaced, not just removed entirely.

Sneasle not getting ice spin is a tragedy

Faster than Salazzle? Fake news, nobody does anything better than Salazzle 😉

[@Jrrj100]

I'm baffled no one is using Weavile at all right now

[@justarandomdood]

Chien Pao kinda busted good tbh (don't know if it's legal or not tho tbh 😅😅😅😅)

[@Jrrj100]

@@justarandomdood Its not

[@Jrrj100]

@@justarandomdood Yeah I agree with u if Chien Pao was legal there would be 0 reason to use Weavile but right now its not allowed so Im sad we're not seeing any Weavile atm cause once Chien Pao becomes legal yeah theres essentially no reason to run Weavile so this should be Weavile's moment to shine

[@tinothetuna215]

I feel like Weavile is a good gholdengo counter. It’s faster and could OHKO

[@GottaLoveDepecheMode]

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but which ev spreads are we using? Is it the "guessed spread" or "base?"

[@bartekgoda563]

It's the one he implemented, it's right there
