PVE Offensive Moves Explanation

  • Acid offers the highest DPS with STAB, but is a legacy move.

  • Infestation fits into Weezing’s role as a Grass-type killer.

  • Tackle is inferior in every way.

  • Sludge Bomb is preferred for its STAB effectiveness against Grass-types

  • Shadow Ball is clearly superior to Dark Pulse; both share the same cooldown and coverage, but the former simply deals higher DPS.

  • Thunderbolt can offer coverage in some niche situations, but lacks STAB. 

PVE Defensive Moves Explanation

  • Infestation is preferred for its ability to hit incoming Psychic-types.

  • Acid is clearly superior to Tackle; both offer wide neutral coverage, but Acid’s defensive DPS is significantly higher.

  • Shadow Ball deals higher DPS, but Dark Pulse’s damage window is a whole second earlier, increasing the chances of it actually connecting. Both offer valuable counter coverage against Psychic-types.

  • Sludge Bomb is a strong alternative, possessing an early damage window and wide neutral coverage.

  • Thunderbolt offers coverage but has a slightly longer damage window than Dark Pulse or Sludge Bomb. 

PVE Overview

Weezing has always been a defensive Pokemon, taking its high defense stat and adding to it a solid defensive typing. However, Shadow Weezing doesn't really appreciate said defense stat dropping. That said, it looks like it's constantly spewing pollution with the shadow effect, so that's pretty cool.
