Weavile Counter

ooops, didn't read Itachi's moveset very carefully. What should Mach replace? CC? And I agree that Magnezone wouldn't do to swell, along with Snorlax.

Plus we need an EV spread for Infernape.

I'll put Leftovers as the default for item.

~desu Saba~
 
What about Rhyperior? He owns Weaville.
 
alright, time to settle it.

Hippowdon - If the Weavile isn't SD'd, then Hippowdon is one of the quickest switches picked.
Rhyperior - Solid Rock + Impish/Relaxed nature extremely effective; even SD'd Ice Punch might not be enough for 2HKO.
Hitmontop - Intimidate cuts attack + Mach Punch.
Infernape - Risky switch in, but I've seen an Infernape live through a Brick Break after Swords Danced. Mach Punch vital for counter.
Forretress - Don't need to explain
Skarmory - I've faced so many of these things I hate em... lol stops my Weavile in tracks until another Swords Dance poses too much threat, but Steel Wing'd or Roar'd by that time.

To put it all down on the line, there are many counters to Weavile. There are counters to counters. Sometimes a strange switch in is enough to falter a strategy or leave the foe just in a daze.

It takes a price to down a Weavile sometimes, but in other cases, it's just so dang easy.

Hitmontop can't have 2 abilities at the same time XD
 
The best Moveset for Inernape is this:

Infernape @ Focus Sash
Trait: Blaze
Hasty / Naive Nature
- Close Combat
- Flamethrower / Fire Blast

- Stone Edge
- Grass Knot / Thunderpunch. The moves in bold pose a threat to Weavile.

Don't even get me started on why that is SO not true.

Impish? Lol. It really can't wall for It's life. Not with 76 HP and bad Defenses. (71 in both).

lol, you said lucario was "bulky." Can we stop setting double-standards all the time? My god...

Anyways, inferanpe really counters it. It can take both of its STAB attack like candy (despiter its poor defenses) and fight back with flamethrower and the likes...mach punch too :P Weavile never runs AA, ever. I just never see it.
 
lol Kazaam, I forgot what I was thinking. I'll edit that to fix it.
