Galarian Weezing Weakness

Galarian Weezing rocks a very unusual dual-Fairy/Poison typing. This means, one of Fairy's biggest weaknesses, Poison moves, are no longer effective.

Instead, the weaknesses you want to be taking advantage of are Ground, Psychic and Steel.

Bear in mind that Galarian Weezing has some pretty hefty resistances if you can't fill your party with the above types, including a 4x resistance to Bug, Dragon and Fighting-type moves and regular resistances to Dark, Fairy and Grass.

Best Counters for Galarian Weezing's Weaknesses

For once, there aren't many Mega Pokemon that are worth bringing to a raid. If you are going to, however, Mega Gengar is your pick.

Overall, the top Pokemon you want to consider for Galarian Weezing raids is none other than Mewtwo.

There are a few Steel-types that you should definitely consider bringing, with Metagross being the top pick, closely followed by Dialga, Excadrill, Jirachi and Genesect.

In terms of Ground-types, Rhyperior is your best bet here with Therian Landorus and Groudon other solid picks.
