Overview
Galarian Weezing, the first representative from the main series Generation 8, Sword and Shield, is an interesting Pokemon. It sports a unique typing and passable defense... and that's about it. Honestly, Galarian Weezing might be a somewhat difficult raid if not for two factors: its moveset and the fact that it's weak to two of the absurdly strongest Pokemon in the game.
Team Composition
- Mewtwo and Metagross make this fight easy.
- Windy Weather makes Psychics extremely powerful
- Snowy Weather makes Metagross the top, with several other Steels becoming viable
- Clear Weather makes Ground Types viable options
Dodging Strategy
- It's probably best to dodge Hyper Beam and Overheat in particular, as they both deal fair damage and are easy to dodge.
