- With its high Attack and Speed, Weavile excels at fast, hard-hitting physical attacks. Moves like Night Slash and Dark Pulse are great STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) options.
- Consider teaching it coverage moves like Ice Beam or even coverage TMs like Focus Blast to hit opponents that resist its primary types.
- Because its Defense is a bit low, try to use Weavile against opponents it can defeat quickly, or switch it in when you know it can take a hit or two.
- Nasty Plot can boost its Special Attack, but given its low base Special Attack stat, it's usually better to focus on its physical strengths.
