The two Best (non-shadow/non-mega) Galarian Weezing counters are the ever useful, but legacy, Psystrike Mewtwo and Meteor Mash Metagross. Galarian Weezing is a dual Fairy Poison type, is boosted by Cloudy weather, and has weaknesses to the following types: Steel, Ground, Psychic.
As a Tier 3, its stat composition of 174 Attack, 197 Defense, and 3,600 Stamina brings its raid boss CP to 16,511, or a very manageable solo for higher level trainers. If you aren’t sure if you can manage stick to groups of 2+. You can catch a Galarian Weezing Raid boss with the following CPs:
- 1242 – 1310 (Unboosted Level 20 raid catch)
- 1553 – 1637 (Boosted Level 25 raid catch in Cloudy)
Galarian Weezing Counters
Since Shadow Pokémon are extremely expensive to power up and require specific events to remove Frustration with a Charge TM, they will NOT be listed as raid counters in this article. That being said, if you have the shadow form of a listed raid counter Pokémon powered up and TMed, use it.
The following table lists the best Galarian Weezing counters in Pokémon GO.

Galarian Weezing Moves
Fast Move | Charge Move |
---|---|
|
|
As can be seen from this table Steel Pokèmon resit all the moves except Overheat, which they are week to. In other words, don’t use Steel counters against Overheat – especially in the Sunny weather.
Weather Effects
Weather | Pro Attacker | Pro Weezing |
---|---|---|
Sunny | Boosted Ground | Boosted Overheat Fire |
Partly Cloudy | – | Boosted Tackle Normal and Hyper Beam Normal |
Cloudy | Level 25 Galarian Weezing | Boosted Sludge Poison and Play Rough Fairy |
Rainy | – | – |
Snow | Boosted Steel | – |
Fog | – | – |
Windy | Boosted Psychic | – |
As you can see raiding it in Cloudy weather, will boost 2 different Charge Moves, it will reward the work with a higher level Galarian Weezing to catch. The two more rare conditions – Windy or Snow – will definitely make the battle easier. Good news/bad news is the Northern Hemisphere is now seeing a lot more Snow in-game.
Shiny Galarian Weezing became available August 2021 as part of Ultra Unlock Part 3.
