To defeat Galarian Weezing in the game as an individual, you need to exploit its type weaknesses. It is a dual Poison and Fairy-type Pokemon. So, it is weak to Ground, Psychic, and Steel-type attacks and resists Bug, Dragon, Fighting, Dark, Fairy, and Grass-type attacks. Solo trainers must capitalize on the creature’s vulnerability and build counters.

In a 3-star Raid Battle, Galarian Weezing’s Combat Power (CP) will be extremely high compared to its Max CP in Pokemon GO. So, its CP would be 16512, and its HP would be 3000. In the game, it boasts an Attack of 174, Defense of 197, and Stamina of 163.

While challenging Galarian Weezing, you should note that it can use Tackle and Fairy Wind as its Fast Attacks. On the other hand, Hyper Beam, Sludge, Play Rough, Overheat, and Brutal Swing are its Charged Attack options. Therefore, your counters should be strong enough to take hits from these moves.

Also, you should remember to dodge Galarain Weezing Charged Attacks since moves like Hyper Beam and Overheat deal significant damage.

The Poison Gas Pokemon in Pokemon GO has the power to land powerful hits on your counters. Thus, you should carry Max Revives to heal fainted Pokemon.
