Galarian Weezing benefits its allies by disabling almost all abilities with Neutralizing Gas and spreading poison. It can be used with Pokemon with abilities that cannot be disabled like Calyrex-S and Pokemon with abilities that are not always necessary for them to function such as Iron Hands and Roaring Moon. It works best against Pokemon with abilities that are important to their performance, such as Prankster Whimsicott and Tornadus, and those that boost their damage and set up Terrain or weather to help their team, such as Miraidon, Koraidon, and Kyogre. Dazzling Gleam can be used for reliable damage and to break Focus Sashes while ignoring redirection, but Strange Steam can be used for a higher chance to OHKO Roaring Moon and Koraidon. Toxic Spikes is used to wear down foes over time, allowing Galarian Weezing's partners to easily clean up late-game. Additionally, it works well against teams without a grounded Poison-type like Amoonguss to absorb Toxic Spikes. Poison Gas is best against Pokemon that intend to set up and stay on the field for a while, such as Calm Mind Terapagos, especially since it is a spread move and cannot be redirected, though it can be blocked by Wide Guard. Protect can bait out Fake Out if Covert Cloak is not being use and can stall turns to rack up poison damage. Covert Cloak can ensure Toxic Spikes is set up against Fake Out users, Sitrus Berry improves survivability, and Mental Herb stops Taunt and Encore from disrupting Toxic Spikes and Poison Gas setup. 12 Speed EVs is used to outspeed Farigiraf and Incineroar with low Speed investment. The EVs in Special Defense allow survival of Astral Barrage from Choice Specs Calyrex-S and Water Spout from Mystic Water Kyogre, given that rain is not active. The defensive investment allows for a high chance to survive Precipice Blades from Groudon and guaranteed survival of Surging Strikes from Urshifu-R. Tera Dark gives Galarian Weezing a resistance to Calyrex-S’s STAB attacks. Tera Grass grants an immunity to Spore and turns its weakness to Ground-type attacks such as Landorus-I's Earth Power into a resistance as well as granting a resistance to Electric-type attacks like Electro Drift from Miraidon. Tera Water grants a resistance to Glacial Lance from Calyrex-I.
Faster Taunt users such as Whimsicott shut down the status options of Galarian Weezing without Mental Herb, and sets without Sitrus Berry are vulnerable to high damage from double targeting. Poison-types such as Amoonguss wall Galarian Weezing and absorb Toxic Spikes, preventing it from inflicting poison. Since Galarian Weezing typically cannot deal immediate damage, it relies on its teammates to win games, and it will often lose late-game against offensive Pokemon. Galarian Weezing is often partnered with Calyrex-S because its As One ability is unaffected by Neutralizing Gas. Additionally, Galarian Weezing is commonly paired with Dondozo and Tatsugiri, as a Commander-boosted Dondozo can sweep teams that have been weakened by poison damage, and it can effectively stall out poison damage by using Protect and recovering from Leftovers. Fighting-type teammates like Urshifu-R and Iron Hands can take advantage of Terapagos's Tera Shell being disabled to OHKO it with Close Combat. Indeedee-F supports these teams by providing redirection and providing Psychic-type offense on its own. Ogerpon-C can use Follow Me to guarantee Galarian Weezing's Toxic Spikes setup. Roaring Moon can threaten Psychic-types with Knock Off and provide Tailwind for the team.
