Questions people ask

Is Weezing good in Pokemon GO?
Not for battle. Weezing has no ranked PvP, raid or Max Battle role, so keep one for the Pokedex and transfer the rest.
Should I keep or transfer Weezing?
Weezing has no job in PvP, raids, or Max Battles. Keep one for the Pokedex and any of the special variants below, and transfer the rest for candy.
Is Weezing a good raid attacker?
Weezing ranks #72 of 197 poison attackers with 9.4 DPS. That is outside the top 15, so it is not a raid priority.
Can Weezing be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Yes. Shiny Weezing is available from evolution, photobomb, raid, research, wild. A shiny is worth keeping for the collection no matter its IVs.
Is Shadow Weezing worth keeping?
Shadow Weezing hits 20% harder and takes 20% more damage. It has no ranked role of its own, so treat it like a normal copy.
