Weezing differentiates itself from other Poison-types like Vileplume and Garbodor by virtue of its higher physical bulk, Levitate, and several utility moves. It is able to check several top-tier Fighting-, Grass-, and Rock-type Pokemon like Passimian, Pangoro, Decidueye, and Rhydon, chip them down with Rocky Helmet, and threaten them with Will-O-Wisp. It can also weaken the opposing team with Toxic Spikes, which teammates like Magmortar and Sigilyph can take advantage of. However, Weezing suffers from having rather low special bulk, so even Pokemon with a type disadvantage like Sceptile and Whimsicott as well as special attackers like Heliolisk can overwhelm it. Teammates like Delphox and Slowking can help out with special attackers, and the former can also pass Wishes to keep Weezing healthy. Entry hazard setters like Mega Glalie and Steelix can also stack hazards with Weezing and to wear down the opposing foes more quickly.

While Weezing may seem inferior to other Poison-types like Vileplume, it differentiates itself by virtue of its higher physical bulk, Levitate, and several utility moves. I wouldn't include the bit about it seeming inferior to other Poison-types, especially since it's the highest one on the VR sans Vileplume. I'd simply expand a bit on the differentiating itself bit by listing some other viable bulky Poison-types It is able to check several top-tier Fighting- and Grass-type Pokemon like Passimian, Decidueye, Pangoro, and Rhydon, and chip them down with Rocky Helmet and threaten them with Will-O-Wisp. It can also annoy the opposing team with Toxic Spikes, which teammates like Passimian and Sigilyph can abuse. ehh, I don't love the Passimian mention primarily because most of its switch-ins don't get affected by Toxic Spikes. maybe Magmortar would work well here It does suffer from having rather low special bulk, however, meaning Pokemon with a type disadvantage like Sceptile and Whimsicott can still overwhelm it. I'd also mention other special wallbreakers like Choice Specs Heliolisk Teammates like Delphox, Mega Audino, and Cryogonal can help out with special attackers and the former two can also pass Wishes to keep Weezing healthy. Mega Audino and Cryogonal are memes, replace with more relevant options Stealth Rock wears Weezing down, so hazard removal like Blastoise and Decidueye can help with that. Hazard setters like Mega Glalie and Steelix can also stack hazards with Weezing, and wear down the opposing foes quickly. Stealth Rock doesn't really wear down Weezing any more than it wears down say, Rotom. I think you're fine to ditch that bit, although you can keep the entry hazard stacking idea
lemme know when this is done just so I can run through it once more :)

Weezing differentiates itself from other Poison-types like Vileplume and Garbodor by virtue of its higher physical bulk, Levitate, and several utility moves. It is able to check several top-tier Fighting- and Grass-type Pokemon like Passimian, Decidueye, Pangoro, and Rhydon, Rhydon is not a Fighting- or Grass-type Pokemon, and you don't state that Weezing can check Ground- or Rock-type Pokemon. fix the wording here and reorder the Pokemon in the list into the order you list the types of Pokemon that Weezing checks and chip them down with Rocky Helmet and threaten them with Will-O-Wisp. It can also annoy the opposing team with Toxic Spikes, which teammates like Magmortar and Sigilyph can abuse. abuse is not a GP approved term; say "take advantage of" instead It does suffer from having rather low special bulk, however, meaning Pokemon that have a type disadvantage like Sceptile and Whimsicott and special attackers like Heliolisk can still overwhelm it. the phrasing here is kind of awkward imo, maybe say something more like "even Pokemon with a type disadvantage such as blah as well as other strong special attackers like blah"; I think that flows better teammates like Delphox and Slowking can help out with special attackers and the former can also pass Wishes to keep Weezing healthy. Hazard setters like Mega Glalie and Steelix can also stack hazards with Weezing, and wear down the opposing foes quickly.
