Shadow Weavile

Shadow Weavile's Dark and Ice DPS are incredible. Fear Shadow Weavile, for its claws bring ruin... just don't punch it, because it'll fall like a house of cards.

If you're fortunate enough to have a good Shadow Weavile, it will doubtlessly serve you well. With high-tier performance in both of its types, this Pokemon is an absolute monster and a true glass cannon to say the least.

Best PvE Offensive Moveset

• Snarl is superior to Feint Attack on offense. 
• Foul Play pairs well to fulfill a Dark-type role. 
• Ice Shard pairs with Avalanche to fulfill an Ice-type role. 
• Triple Axel is slightly weaker than Avalanche, but it remains competitive due to being a 3-bar move.
• Snarl + Avalanche is Shadow Weavile’s best set vs. targets weak to both Ice and Dark, such as Giratina and Latios.
• Focus Blast is not appropriate on Shadow Weavile. TM it.

Best PvE Defensive Moveset

• Ice Shard and Snarl have similar performance. The former is not resisted by Fighting, while the latter has slightly higher energy gains.
• Triple Axel comes out fast and frequently while still hitting hard, making it the defensive Charged move of choice.
• Avalanche is more punishing than Foul Play when hitting the enemy. Both are about as hard to dodge.
• Focus Blast will never get used before Weavile faints.
• Feint Attack is an inferior quick move.

Ice Shard is a solid fast move, but after the update Snarl blows it out of the water with its incredible energy generation, giving Weavile a niche as a unique spammy glass cannon.

Avalanche and Foul Play offer powerful STAB damage with very wide-reaching coverage. Depending on the meta, the much slower Focus Blast could also come in handy as a surprise nuke on Steel-types. Triple Axel can work for its Attack boost on use, but it's substantially weaker than Avalanche.
