Weavile Counter
After facing Weaviles, I get very annoyed at how cheep they seem to be, so I'm trying to create a counter for Weaviles. I'm going to post my idea and let other people suggest ideas and we can all work together to create the best Weavile Counter. (If this does well, I might just make a thread for specific pokemon counters)
My first candidate for a Weavile counter is Aerodactyl. The reason is his speed is the only one higher than Weavile's with a super effective type, Rock. He can counter the fighting type Brick Break of most competitive Weavile's with his Flying type, but this opens up an Ice type weakness. (but I have that covered with another move, hopefully he'll land it before the Weavile does and Ice Punch) Hippowdon@Leftovers Impish~252 HP/Defense Earthquake Stealth Rock Ice Fang Slack Off Azumarill@Leftovers Adamant~252 Attack/HP Aqua Jet Waterfall Brick Break Double Edge Forretress@Leftovers Relaxed~252 Defense/Attack Rapid Spin/Stealth Rock Earthquake/Spikes Explosion Gyro Ball Yanmega@Focus Sash Timid/Modes~252 Speed/Special Attack~Speed Boost -Bug Buzz -Air Slash -Protect/Giga Drain/Shadow Ball/Ancientpower -Protect/Giga Drain/Shadow Ball/Ancientpower Hitmontop@Leftovers Adamant~252 HP/74 Attack/184 Speed Bulk Up Mach Punch Stone Edge Rapid Spin/Close Combat Infernape@Focus Sash Hasty/Naive~??? Close Combat/Mach Punch Flamethrower/Fire Blast Stone Edge Grass Knot/Thunderpunch Just tell me what you think, comment, umm edit. ~desu Saba~ |
Aerodactyl is not a Weaville counter.
EDIT: Well, actually he could be a counter since he's faster than Weaville. |
XD Figures, I'm not that great, I was just searching for a faster pokemon. And don't just say "It's not good" explain why.
EDIT: @ EDIT: Thus the reason I chose it. ~desu Saba~ |
What makes you say that GeneralGuy?

It doesn't matter if its fast or not, but no offence weaviles are easy to defeat... Make sure you have a fighting, fire, or bug pokemon on your team to defeat weaviles. lol ;)

Well, my Hippowdon kills all the Weaviles that I come across. Although Azumarill is an amazing counter as well. Their movesets are:

Wow, lots of attention to this thread in the first 3 mintues. I guess a lot of people hate facing Weaviles. XD
Ok, but I'm confused how Mach Punch breloom can do that to Aero. High defense plus it's not super effective. ~desu Saba~ |
Mach Punch is the greatest counter-attack against Weaville. Not only does it strike first, but deals x4 damage because of the Dark/Ice typing.

Oh, I get it now. Yeah, my friend was suggesting Mach Punch. I'm trying to get as many ideas though. So we can have more than one pokemon as a Weavile Counter. I could add all the details to the first post. In the meantime, we need a movelist made for Heracross and Breloom. I could work on one once I get Hippowdon and Azumarril into the first post.
Wouldn't Hippowdon be OHKO'd by an Ice Punch from one? Or is it's defense really high? EDIT: I have created a Breloom set, mess with it cuz it probably isn't too good. (It's in first post.) ~desu Saba~ |
Did you read my post? (filler filler filler)
Nope, Ice Punch doesn't even 2HKO a Hippowdon unless it has in a Swords Dance. |
Grats Sabaku looks like you will be making the other thread lmao
|
Magmortar w/ Mach Punch works.

Since most Weavile are Choice Banded or Life Orb'd, Hippowdon isn't surviving 2 Ice Punches. And you're asking to get yourself critical hit if you keep slacking off. A counter isn't something that gets hit super effective from what it's trying to counter. Ice Shard says "sup" to Aerodactyl. So basically, steels are your best bet, Forretress being the best one, killing Weavile with Gyro Ball. Bronzong takes neutral damage from Night Slash and doesn't like the high critical hit rate. |
I should start a thread on how to counter FEAR.

My Rhyperior eats Weavile alive. Like Hippowdon, it usually takes 3 un-swords danced ice punches to bring him to his knees. Hell, mine's adamant too. I bet Impish-perior could take four IC's/BB's from Weavile, and his abilitity is one of the best IMO.

Well, after having a match with Kazaam, he has some anti-weavile stuff. That Hippowdon... 2 Ice Punches only half shotted it, even though I was intimdated... dang.
That Azumarill set is also rather effective. However, after having a Weavile for so long, I've seen most of what I need to see. I've been through three Weaviles until I stuck with my current one, 25 Ninjas. You'll notice Andy has a 20 Ninjas... that was my old one. The best counter to Weavile is Mach Punch without doubt. However, Sandstorm just ruins Focus Sash, hence why my Weavile's ineffective against Sandstorm teams. It even has a lot of trouble with T-Wave Blisseys unless I've Swords Danced previously. However, not even that helps because it just barely hangs in with a little life. Your first opinon on Aerodactyl is also nice. [email protected] Band (first non-hax item to mind) Nature: Jolly EVs: 252 speed/252 attack/6 HP Rock Slide Earthquake Ice Fang ??? (a move of your choice) Rock Slide has a chance to flinch and is your STAB, so 2 for 1. Basically, Aerodactyl is an anti-sweeper, but isn't so good against more stable pokemon. I might raise one myself sometime. |
well breloom can't switch-in on weavile as Areial ace destroys it, and efect spore isn't worth it. Clerics lol at it.

Forretress, we need a moveset for him, and fix up my Breloom one. Magmortar I personally don't like, but I could add him. I need movesets people. xD If you make a moveset that all of us agree worthy, I'll add it to the original post for everyone to copy for Weavile counters. ABYAY I'll add your set into the first post. ~desu Saba~ |
Actually, most Weaviles are Focus Sash'd, not Choice Banded O_o. Which is why Hippowdon makes such a great counter, 1 Earthquake Ko's it, after the Sandstorm has messed it up of course.
There is always: [email protected] Orb Adamant~252 HP/252 Attack Bullet Punch Close Combat Facade Fake Out |
Aerodactyl @ Focus Sash ** Hax is here.
Trait: Pressure Adamant / Jolly Nature - Crunch / Stone Edge / Rock Polish - Roost - Stealth Rock - Earthquake. Pretty much obvious Set. |
Hey Sabaku, I can just trade you that Harriyama mentioned in my last post if you want a Weavile counter that bad.
