Weavile in Pokemon Champions: Stats, Best Moveset & How to Get
Weavile is a blisteringly fast Dark/Ice attacker in Pokemon Champions, built around a 125 base Speed that outruns nearly the entire format and a 120 Attack that punishes anything it tags. With Fake Out for disruption, Ice Shard for priority, and Knock Off for item control, it is a textbook offensive support lead. This guide covers its stats, type matchups, best moves, an SP spread, its role in Regulation M-A doubles, and how to get it.
Base Stats
Weavile's strength is speed and power: 125 Speed lets it move before almost everything, and 120 Attack backs it up with real damage. Its defenses are the problem — 70/65/85 with no special bulk means it folds to almost any super-effective hit or priority. Weavile wants to act first and hit hard, not trade blows.

Type Matchups
Abilities
- Pressure — makes attacks that target Weavile cost an extra PP. Marginal in best-of-three doubles, but the default since the alternative is situational.
- Pickpocket — steals the attacker's item when Weavile is hit by a contact move. Occasionally useful for snatching a held item, but it does nothing if Weavile is KO'd by that hit — which, given its frailty, often happens.
Best Moveset
Weavile's kit is all about disruption and immediate pressure. For Regulation M-A doubles:
Fast offensive lead
- Fake Out — free flinch on turn one; the premier opening disruption that buys a turn for the whole team.
- Knock Off — strong Dark STAB that strips the target's item for lasting value.
- Ice Shard — Ice priority to snipe weakened or faster threats.
- Icy Wind — spread Speed control that slows the opposing side.
Swords Dance sweeper
- Swords Dance — +2 Attack turns its speed into a clean sweep.
- Triple Axel-style Ice power via Ice Punch or Ice Shard + Throat Chop as a secondary Dark STAB that shuts off sound moves.
- Low Kick-style coverage via Power-Up Punch or Focus Blast for Steel and Rock walls.
Other tools include Taunt, Foul Play, Dark Pulse, Blizzard, Substitute, Reflect and Tera Blast.
Suggested SP Spread
With the Champions SP system (66 points, max 32 per stat), Weavile leans fully into its speed-and-power identity:
- Offensive lead: max Attack and Speed with an offensive Stat Alignment (boost Attack or Speed, lower a defense it isn't using).
- Sweeper: same offensive spread to maximise the payoff from a Swords Dance turn.

Competitive Role in Regulation M-A
Weavile is one of the best Fake Out leads in the format. Its 125 Speed means its Fake Out lands first against almost anything, locking down a target while a partner sets up or fires off a key move, and its Knock Off strips items to weaken the opposing side for the whole match. Ice Shard and Icy Wind give it priority and Speed control even after the initial disruption, so it stays relevant turn after turn.
The catch is its glass jaw — 70/65/85 defenses with a stack of weaknesses (Fighting, Fire, Bug, Rock, Steel, Fairy) mean Weavile rarely survives a hit it doesn't dodge through speed. It is a hit-first, support-heavy attacker that wins games through tempo and chip damage, not by sitting on the field, so it pairs best with bulky partners that can take the return fire it cannot.
