Weezing Weakness
Type-wise, Weezing takes extra damage from Ground and Psychic. The Poison typing picks up 4 resistances to work with. Levitate grants an additional Ground immunity, reshaping the matchup chart. Weezing's physical bulk (base 120 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.
| Damage | Types |

| 2x (Weak) | Ground, Psychic |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Grass, Fighting, Poison, Bug |

How to Evolve
Breeding
Breed with Weezing to get Koffing eggs easily using 22 partners from the Indeterminate egg group. Notable egg moves include Destiny Bond, Pain Split, Psybeam and 3 more.
E Weezing Best Moveset
Weezing fills the physical tank role that few Poison-types can claim, pairing 120 Defense with AbilityLevitate to remove the Ground weakness entirely. The moveset burns physical attackers with MoveWill-O-Wisp, halving their Attack before they can threaten. MoveSludge Bomb hits from 90 Attack while MoveExplosion provides an emergency trade against setup attackers.

Moves List
Breeding's the move. Destiny Bond and Pain Split give Weezing options it can't learn any other way, and coverage across 7 types already covers a decent range on top of Sludge Bomb and Sludge. The egg moves push it further.

Weezing Emerald Guide
In Emerald, Weezing looks average on paper at 490 BST. But Levitate is why it sees play. Build around that and it pulls its weight. C-Tier on our tier list. Will O Wisp with Leftovers is the standard set.
Weezing gets Levitate and Neutralizing Gas. But Levitate is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that.
Weezing is a physical attacker with base 90 Attack. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. At base 60 Speed, it won't be moving first often.
For Emerald, the core moveset is Will O Wisp, Sludge Bomb, Painsplit, and Explosion. Will O Wisp leads at 0% usage. This set covers the balanced role with a mix of damage and utility.
Game Availability
Available since Red & Blue, Weezing appears in 20 games spanning 10 generations. Beyond its original form, it gained a Galarian form in Generation 8.
