Hornliu Movesets & Wettbewerbs-Sets

This is the only set Weedle can run, because, well, this is its entire movepool. But don't fret! Weedle doesn't even need four moves, as it is able to pose an extremely moderate threat with this holy trinity of moves alone. Bug Bite is Weedle's strongest STAB attack, and will hurt most Pokemon more than any of its other attacks. Not even Pokemon that resist Bug Bite can switch in safely for fear of losing their precious Oran Berry. The fact that Weedle is fairly uncommon also helps, since opposing walls that switch in won't be aware of the potential loss of their Berry. It should be noted that Bug Bite can 6HKO Aron (5HKO with Choice Band), an impressive feat. Poison Sting is for secondary STAB, but is considerably weaker than Bug Bite. However there is one reason and one reason alone that warrants its use and that is poison. Just watch as your opponent winces in rage and cries in fear when their precious Weedle check becomes crippled with the bane that is regular poison, causing them to lose a full 12.5% of their health every single turn. Finally, String Shot allows Weedle to outspeed all Pokemon below 17 Speed after a single String Shot, allowing it to strike first or set up an essential sweep for a teammate (unless the opponent switches out of course). Life Orb allows Weedle to deal heavy damage to even foes that resist its attacks, dealing a solid 12% to defensive Gligar with Bug Bite; however Oran Berry is an option to prolong Weedle's rampage. Choice Band boosts Weedle's Attack, allowing it to really put the hurt on opponents. However, locking itself into String Shot is not a good idea. Adamant nature allows Weedle to destroy its enemies, while lowering its Special Attack which is merely a pittance in comparison to boosting Weedle's titanic base 35 Attack stat. The EV spread maximizes Weedle's HP and Attack, while increasing its Defense and Speed by one point. With the extra point in Speed, Weedle hits 12 Speed, allowing it to blaze past even more Pokemon before and after a String Shot. Weedle appreciates the company of Rapid Spinners that can get rid of entry hazards, which are hazardous to Weedle due to its vulnerability to Stealth Rock and Spikes. A good Rapid Spinning slave that Weedle can abuse is Sandshrew, who can Rapid Spin away any entry hazards, while also being able to set up its own in the form of Stealth Rock, which can also benefit Weedle. Sandshrew can also learn the fearsome Poison Sting, which can assist Weedle in spreading deadly regular poison throughout the opponent's team, while getting rid of Poison and Steel-type adversaries with powerful Earthquakes or Digs. Wynaut is arguably the best teammate, being able to Encore a move that Weedle resists, allowing Weedle to come in without being 2HKOed and start its assault. Wynaut can also eliminate the select Pokemon that Weedle has trouble with by using Counter or Mirror Coat.
