**To use Weavile effectively in the current VGC format, leverage its Dark/Ice type typing and build around its top-performing movesets.** Weavile appears as a prominent choice in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Weavile fits in a VGC team.

The most common build highlights Pickpocket, Focus Sash and Jolly 2/32/0/0/0/32. Its frequent moves include Fake Out, Knock Off, Triple Axel, Low Kick, Protect, and Icicle Crash. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.

Defensively, Weavile has important weaknesses to fighting 4x, bug 2x, fairy 2x, fire 2x, rock 2x, steel 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as Sinistcha, Raichu-Mega-Y, Milotic, Ceruledge, and Scolipede-Mega appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
