Pokemon of the Week: Weavile!

   The new Pokemon of the Week is...Weavile! Weavile is a Dark/Ice Type with the Ability Pressure and the Hidden Ability Pickpocket. You can't find it in X, Y, Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire, but you can catch it's previous form, Sneasel. 

                           Sneasel                                                                         Weavile

                                          

   If you're playing X and Y, you can find Sneasel in Route 17 or in an Ice or Dark type Friend Safari. You can not catch in in Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire, but you can transfer from X and Y or look for it on the GTS. To turn it into a Weavile you need to make it level up at night while holding a Razor Claw. To get a Razor Claw you need to go to the Battle Maison and save up 48 BP to get it.

   In my opinion, the best Ability for Weavile is Pressure, so don't worry about trying to get a Hidden Ability. The best Nature for a Weavile is Jolly. A Jolly Nature increases Speed and decreases Special Attack. After you've obtained a Jolly Sneasel/Weavile Super Train its Attack and Speed stats until you max them out.

   The moveset I use suits how I like to battle, but you can change it to fit your style if you like. It consists of Night Slash, X-Scissor, Ice Punch, and Shadow Claw. It has a good spread of types and it gets a STAB from Night Slash and Ice Punch. 

   A good item for it is the Focus Band. The Focus Band gives you a 10% chance of surviving with 1 HP from a move that otherwise would've made you faint. You get the Focus Band by purchasing it for 48 BP at the Battle Maison. I use this since Weavile has such terrible Defense and Special Defense stats.

   So that's how I use my Weavile. Feel free to suggest next week's Pokemon of the Week or put other ways you can use Weavile!
