>>46810963Weezing has the same flaws. Used a shiny one on my shiny Heart Gold run just because I love the colour but god damn this thing sucks if you're trying to use it on a general play-through.
>stuck using smog and tackle until level 21 where you can get sludge>only way to make it somewhat viable in battle is to waste your best TMs on it, all of which are either only obtainable once or locked behind the Battle Frontier/Game Corner max prizes (Sludge Bomb, Shadow Ball and Flamethrower respectively)>only STAB TM is Sludge Bomb, which you only get one of and is unobtainable until you reach the seventh gym>not that it matters, because poison is only effective against grass types which you're hardly ever going to fight>inflicting poison and trying to stall with high defence is a useless strategy because every major trainer you battle will use full restores when their pokemon starts dipping into the red>only good use is to tank hits while you heal up the rest of the party
