Weavile

Weavile has great offensive stats complemented by good moves in both of its types. As a result, it's one a decent Ice and Dark attackers. Few non-legendary Pokemon have this versatility. With a sufficient supply of TMs, a Weavile is like having 2 Pokemon in 1. With that said, it has been powercrept over the years as stronger Ice- and Dark-type Pokemon have entered the scene.

Best PvE Offensive Moveset

• Snarl + Foul Play makes Weavile a decent Dark attacker.
• Ice Shard + Avalanche lets Weavile compete with Glaceon on the Ice front, but neither can top Mamoswine.
• Triple Axel is slightly weaker than Avalanche, but it remains competitive due to being a 3-bar move.
• Snarl + Avalanche is Weavile’s best set vs. targets weak to Ice and Dark, such as Giratina and Latios.
• Feint Attack is a good attack, but inferior to Snarl in most scenarios.
• Focus Blast is not appropriate on 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.
