Due to its unique traits, Galarian Weezing manages to carve out a niche of its own as an entry hazard remover. Its main appeal is Neutralizing Gas, which makes it the only hazard remover able to remove hazards in front of Gholdengo. Neutralizing Gas is also able to help it in other matchups against ability-reliant foes, such as Alomomola, Garganacl, and Rillaboom. Pain Split is its only way of healing, and both Will-O-Wisp and Toxic help it get a turn to remove hazards by forcing out opposing threats; Will-O-Wisp scares off physical attackers like Ogerpon-W, Landorus-T and Kingambit, and Toxic scares off Pokemon that are immune to Will-O-Wisp or not threatened by its Attack drop, like Moltres, Cinderace, and Primarina. The EV spread makes Galarian Weezing able to outspeed Adamant Kingambit and threaten it with Will-O-Wisp while keeping some of its physical bulk. Heavy-Duty Boots is crucial due to its hazard-removing role, as it lets Galarian Weezing switch in without being chipped down by the hazards it needs to remove. Tera Flying covers its major weakness against Ground-type moves, letting it take on threats like Landorus-T and Great Tusk, while also keeping its Fighting resistance, which helps it against foes like Zamazenta.

Galarian Weezing fits on balance teams due to its role as an entry hazard remover with a good defensive profile, so teammates that don't use Heavy-Duty Boots appreciate it removing hazards, such as Ting-Lu, Darkrai, Ogerpon-W, and Raging Bolt. Galarian Weezing is able to absorb Dragon-, Fighting-, and Dark-type attacks from the likes of Dragapult, Hisuian Samurott, Iron Valiant, and Zamazenta, and due to Galarian Weezing a Poison-neutral Fairy-type, it is able to soft check Darkrai too. Ting-Lu helps it by taking on the special attackers of the tier, like Gholdengo, Iron Moth, and Iron Crown, which all target Galarian Weezing on its weaker Special Defense, while it can't do anything back. Galarian Weezing helps Ting-Lu taking on Fighting-type threats that threaten it, like Iron Valiant and Zamazenta, as well as Grass-type wallbreakers like the Ogerpon formes. Gliscor and Garganacl can be paired with Galarian Weezing, as it deals with bulky Grass-types like Ogerpon-Wellspring, Sinistcha, and Hydrapple that can threaten them. Ogerpon-W serves as a good offensive partner for Galarian Weezing, physically breaking Ground-types that bother Galarian Weezing like Ting-Lu and Iron Treads, while Galarian Weezing can help it against problematic matchups like Zamazenta, Dragapult, and bulky Grass-types such as Sinistcha and Hydrapple. Darkrai also helps Galarian Weezing by specially breaking through Ground-types, like Great Tusk and Landorus-T, while Galarian Weezing helps it back by walling Zamazenta and Iron Valiant. Corviknight and Skarmory can help it deal defensively with Ground-type foes like Great Tusk, Landorus-T and Iron Treads that threaten Galarian Weezing with their STAB Ground-type moves. Raging Bolt likes the help from Galarian Weezing pressuring Ground-types, which helps it in wallbreaking later. Alomomola appreciates Galarian Weezing taking on the Grass-types in the tier like Ogerpon-W, Hydrapple, and Sinistcha, while Alomomola is able to take on foes like Landorus-T, Great Tusk and Kingambit. Gholdengo helps Galarian Weezing in dealing with Psychic-types like Hatterene, Iron Crown, and Deoxys-S, and it appreciates Galarian Weezing checking foes like Hisuian Samurott and Darkrai. Zamazenta helps Galarian Weezing by beating Steel-types like Kingambit, Iron Treads, and Heatran; in return, Galarian Weezing deals with problematic matchups like Iron Valiant.

Due to its unique traits, Weezing-G has managed to carve out a niche of its own as a hazard cleaner. It's main appeal is Neutralizing Gas, which makes it the only hazard cleaner able to remove hazards in front of Gholdengo and Gliscor, turning gliscor's passive recovery against it so galarian weezing can reliably keep hazards off the field is also huge and absolutely worth mentioning, Neutralizing Gas is also able to help it on other matchups, like against Blissey, Clefable, Alomomola, these are fine examples but there are certainly better ones you could use instead Gholdengo, Garganacl, Rillaboom, and other ability-reliant threats i'm not quite sure if "threats" was appropriate in the original draft and even now i suggest you change it to a broader term, since not every mon affected by neutralizing gas is an offensive threat. Heavy-Duty Boots are crucial due to its hazard cleaning role, as they let Weezing-G switch in without fearing being chipped down by the hazards it needs to remove. Pain Split is its only way of healing, and both Will-o-Wisp and Toxic help it get a turn to remove hazards by pressuring off forcing out opposing threats; Will-o-Wisp scares off physical attackers like Ogerpon-W, Rillaboom, and Kingambit, and Toxic scares off everything that is immune to Will-o-Wisp, or not threatened by the secondary effect, like Cinderace, Moltres, and Blissey Raging Bolt and Primarina mentioning pokemon that don't really do anything to g-weezing is kind of unnecessary, you should instead mention special attackers. It's EV spread makes it able to outspeed Adamant Kingambit, making Weezing-G able to threaten it with Will-o-Wisp, while keeping some of its physical bulk. Tera Flying covers its major weakness against Ground, letting it take on threats like Landorus-T, Great Tusk, Ting-Lu, or Gliscor again, these aren't necessarily threats. gliscor also doesn't want to stay in and actively get worn down and ting-lu is highly vulnerable to getting statused, it also removes its weakness against Steel, helping it deal with Kingambit or Iron Treads too. you already outspeed kingambit and force it out with will-o-wisp. iron treads also isn't a great example here, the only steel move it occasionally runs is steel beam, which is something g-weezing doesn't even want to be taking to begin with

it's important to mention the playstyle(s) that the pokemon is commonly seen on. in g-weezing's case that would be balance Due to the nature of its role, teammates that don't use Heavy-Duty Boots appreciate Weezing-G removing hazards, some examples of these teammates would be Ogerpon-W, Dragon Dance Roaring Moon DD moon does not fit on teams that carry g-weezing, or Choice Item Meowscarada or Darkrai. Pokemon like Dondozo or Alomomola dondozo is near exclusive to stall and doesn't pair with g-weez very often, something like garganacl or even moltres would be more appropriate here appreciates Weezing-G taking on the offensive Grass-types in the tier like Meowscarada, Rillaboom or Ogerpon-W, while Dondozo and Alomomola is able to take on foes like Landorus-T, Great Tusk and Kingambit. Landorus-T, Gliscor, gliscor is a much more common partner for g-weez than landorus-T Corviknight and Skarmory can help it deal with Ground-type foes like Great Tusk, Iron Treads, Gliscor or Ting-Lu highlighting these two for the same reasons as stated previously, that threaten Weezing-G with their STAB Ground-type moves. Blissey helps it by taking on the special attackers of the tier, like Gholdengo, Iron Crown or Iron Moth, etc, who all target Weezing-G on its weaker defense, while Weezing-G takes on Fighting-type threats that threaten Blissey like Physical Iron Valiant, or Body Press Zamazenta. another stall-exclusive pokemon that g-weez is almost never used in tandem with, not to mention gholdengo and iron crown are both very troublesome MUs for blissey

i do implore that you expand on how pokemon like ogerpon-W and darkrai are supported by weezing-G and vice versa, since you only mentioned them in passing. not mentioning this prior was an oversight i made in my initial post and i regret not pointing it out sooner. regardless, you did a very good job on fixing up the rest of this analysis, so this will be QC 1/2 once you implement those changes. fantastic work

Due to its unique traits, Weezing-G has managed to carve out a niche of its own as a hazard cleaner. It's main appeal is Neutralizing Gas, which makes it the only hazard cleaner able to remove hazards in front of Gholdengo, and Gliscor, from who it is able to disrupt its healing from Poison Heal. Neutralizing Gas is also able to help it on other matchups, such as Gholdengo Alomomola (already mentioned ghold), Garganacl and Rillaboom, and other ability-reliant opponents. Heavy-Duty Boots are crucial due to its hazard cleaning role, as they let Weezing-G switch in without fearing being chipped down by the hazards it needs to remove. Pain Split is its only way of healing, and both Will-o-Wisp and Toxic help it get a turn to remove hazards by forcing out opposing threats; Will-o-Wisp scares off physical attackers like Ogerpon-W, Rillaboom Landorus-T (more relevant) or Kingambit, and Toxic scares off everything that is inmune to Will-o-Wisp, or not threatened by the secondary effect, like Moltres, Raging Bolt Cinderace (bolt is stream target), and Primarina. It's EV spread makes it able to outspeed Adamant Kingambit, making Weezing-G able to threaten it with Will-o-Wisp, while keeping some of its physical bulk. Tera Flying covers its mayor weakness against Ground, letting it take on threats like Landorus-T, or Great Tusk while also keeping its Fighting resistance, which helps it against foes like Zamazenta.

Weezing-G is commonly found fits (it's on a common pick) on Balance teams due to its role as a hazard cleaner remover with a good defensive profile (then mention about it absorbing dragons + fightings + darks. for ex. its a fairy thats not weak to psn so nice vs rai etc.), so teammates that don't use Heavy-Duty Boots appreciate it removing hazards, such as Ting-Lu, Darkrai, Ogerpon-W, and Raging Bolt. Some examples of these teammates would be Ogerpon-W, Rillaboom, or Choice Item Meowscarada, who all are Grass-types that help Weezing-G take on Ground-types, or Ting-Lu, Darkrai, and Raging Bolt, who appreciate its Fairy resistance. Ting-Lu helps it by taking on the special attackers of the tier, like Gholdengo, Iron Moth, Iron Crown, Raging Bolt, etc, who all target Weezing-G on its weaker defense (more like gweez cant do anything to them, could be good to clarify), while Weezing-G takes on Fighting-type threats that threaten Ting-Lu, like Physical (can be mixed w cc) Iron Valiant, or Body Press (any zama) Zamazenta, as well as Grass-type breakers like Meowscarada and Ogerpon-W the Ogerpon formes. (moved up from below)

In the next lines, I want you to write the following: (it's all too compressed)
  • elaborate on synergy with ogerpon: the ground type line is ok. talk about what gweez does in return like help v zama etc
  • a line on rai and bolt as offensive partners. like for ex. how rai can beam stuff like lando for gweez.
Alomomola appreciates Weezing-G taking on the offensive Grass-types in the tier like Ogerpon-W, Hydrapple, and Sinitcha Meowscarada, Rillaboom or Ogerpon-W, while Alomomola is able to take on foes like Landorus-T, Great Tusk and Kingambit. Gliscor, (glisc doesnt rly beat tusk or like spinner treads so it's awkward) Corviknight and Skarmory can help it deal defensively with Ground-type foes like Great Tusk, Landorus-T, or Iron Treads that threaten Weezing-G with their STAB Ground-type moves. Ting-Lu helps it by taking on the special attackers of the tier, like Gholdengo, Iron Crown, Raging Bolt, etc, who all target Weezing-G on its weaker defense, while Weezing-G takes on Fighting-type threats that threaten Ting-Lu, like Physical Iron Valiant, or Body Press Zamazenta, as well as Grass-type breakers like Meowscarada and Ogerpon-W. (moved up)

add a couple more lines on offensive teammates like ghold / zama / maybe gambit. i also recommend u to check this cool replay if u havent already

(add a line on how other hazard setters like Gliscor and Garga are also commonly seen being paired with gweez) Ogerpon-W serves as a good offensive partner for Weezing-G, physically breaking Ground-types that bother Weezing-G like Ting-Lu, Iron Treads, etc, while Weezing-G can help it against problematic matchups like Zamazenta, bulky Grass-types such as Sinitcha and Hydrapple, and Dragapult, and Dragon-types like Dragonite and Roaring Moon. Partners like Kyurem and Darkrai also helps help Weezing-G by specially breaking through Ground-types, like Great Tusk and Landorus-T, while Weezing-G helps it back by walling Zamazenta and Iron Valiant. Corviknight and Skarmory can help it deal defensively with Ground-type foes like Great Tusk, Landorus-T, or Iron Treads that threaten Weezing-G with their STAB Ground-type moves. Raging Bolt likes the help from Weezing-G pressuring Ground-types, which helps it in wallbreaking later walling faster Dragon-types like Dragonite or Roaring Moon so it has an easier time breaking through a team. Alomomola appreciates Weezing-G taking on the Grass-types in the tier like Ogerpon-W, Hydrapple, and Sinitcha, while Alomomola is able to take on foes like Landorus-T, Great Tusk and Kingambit. Weezing-G can take on Dark-types like Roaring Moon, Meowscarada, or Weavile, that threaten Gholdengo, and can help back helps Galarian Weezing in dealing with Psychic-types like Hatterene, Iron Crown, and Deoxys-Speed and appreciates Galarian Weezing checking foes like Hisuian Samurott and Darkrai. Zamazenta is a great partner that helps Weezing-G by beating Steel-types like Kingambit, Iron Treads and Heatran; in return, Galarian Weezing deals with problematic matchups like Iron Valiant.

Due to its unique traits, Galarian Weezing has managed manages to carve out a niche of its own as an entry hazard cleaner remover. Its (RA) main appeal is Neutralizing Gas, which makes it the only hazard cleaner remover able to remove hazards in front of Gholdengo (RC, a comma isn't needed when listing out two subjects) and Gliscor, from for who which it is able to disrupt its healing from Poison Heal. Neutralizing Gas is also able to help it on in other matchups against ability-reliant foes, such as Alomomola, Garganacl, (AC, Smogon requires the serial comma) and Rillaboom, and other ability-reliant opponents. Pain Split is its only way of healing, and both Will-o-Wisp Will-O-Wisp and Toxic help it get a turn to remove hazards by forcing out opposing threats; Will-o-Wisp Will-O-Wisp scares off physical attackers like Ogerpon-Wellspring, (see Spelling and Grammar Standards on how to write forme names) Landorus-Therian or and (when listing multiple examples of a plural noun, use "and" instead of "or") Kingambit, and Toxic scares off everything that is inmune immune to Will-o-Wisp Will-O-Wisp or not threatened by the secondary effect (elaborate on what move this is referring to), like Moltres, Cinderace, and Primarina. It's The EV spread makes it Galarian Weezing able to outspeed Adamant Kingambit, making Galarian Weezing able to (brevity) and threaten it with Will-o-Wisp Will-O-Wisp (RC) while keeping some of its physical bulk. (Moved the item sentence here, as it's usually placed after the EV spread explanation and before the Tera choices.) Heavy-Duty Boots are is (any held item is considered a singular noun, even if it's written like it's plural) crucial due to its hazard cleaning hazard-removing role, as they it lets Galarian Weezing switch in without fearing being chipped down by the hazards it needs to remove. Tera Flying covers its mayor major weakness against Ground-type moves, letting it take on threats like Landorus-Therian (RC) or and Great Tusk, while also keeping its Fighting resistance, which helps it against foes like Zamazenta.

Galarian Weezing fits on Balance balance teams due to its role as an entry hazard remover with a good defensive profile, so teammates that don't use Heavy-Duty Boots appreciate it removing hazards, such as Ting-Lu, Darkrai, Ogerpon-Wellspring, and Raging Bolt. Galarian Weezing is able to absorb Dragon-, Fighting-, and Dark-type attacks from the likes of Dragapult, Hisuian Samurott, Iron Valiant, and Zamazenta, and due to Galarian Weezing being neutral to Poison while being a Poison-neutral Fairy-type, (brevity) it is able to soft check Darkrai too. Ting-Lu helps it by taking on the special attackers of the tier, like Gholdengo, Iron Moth, and Iron Crown, etc, who which all target Galarian Weezing on its weaker Special defense Defense, while it can't do anything back. (RC, AP) and (Splitting this sentence into two here because it's lengthy.) Galarian Weezing helps Ting-Lu taking on Fighting-type threats that threaten it, like Iron Valiant (RC) or and Zamazenta, as well as Grass-type wallbreakers like the Ogerpon formes. Gliscor and Garganacl can be paired with Galarian Weezing, as it deals with bulky Grass-types like Ogerpon-Wellspring, Sinistcha, (AC) and Hydrapple that can threaten them. Ogerpon-Wellspring serves as a good offensive partner for Galarian Weezing, physically breaking Ground-types that bother Galarian Weezing like Ting-Lu (RC) and Iron Treads, etc, while Galarian Weezing can help it against problematic matchups like Zamazenta, Dragapult, and bulky Grass-types such as Sinistcha (RC) and Hydrapple.

Corviknight and Skarmory can help it deal defensively with Ground-type foes like Great Tusk, Landorus-Therian, or and Iron Treads that threaten Galarian Weezing with their STAB Ground-type moves. Raging Bolt likes the help from Galarian Weezing pressuring Ground-types, which helps it in wallbreaking later. Alomomola appreciates Galarian Weezing taking on the Grass-types in the tier like Ogerpon-Wellspring, Hydrapple, and Sinistcha, while Alomomola is able to take on foes like Landorus-Therian, Great Tusk and Kingambit.

You're fine!

If it's possible, I'd like you to make one last change in regards to the Will-O-Wisp sentence, and the analysis should be good to go.
Will-O-Wisp scares off physical attackers like Ogerpon-W, Landorus-T and Kingambit, and Toxic scares off everything Pokemon that is are immune to Will-O-Wisp (RC) or not threatened by the physical attack nerf its Attack drop, like Moltres, Cinderace, and Primarina.
