Is there a way to keep my Weavile for being so weak to so many types?

Question

All the time I have both of my Weavile's in battles,they lose so quickly..

Answer 1

Besides the berries that lower the power of certain type Super Effective moves, no. You'll be best off to switch 1 of your Weaviles with something like Starmie to synergize better.

Cool,thanks!:)

Answer 2

If you're in a double battle you could use soak on it to change it into a water type.

Only problem then is you don't get STAB from Dark and Ice moves.

cool! Thank you!

Answer 3

Use super-effective moves, if you're playing Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl, it can learn 5 Psychic-type moves, since it's super-effective against Fighting-type moves. Yeah, Weavile deals 4x damage on Fighting-type moves. For fire type moves, you can use Surf or Rain Dance. Here's more:

Fairy type: Metal claw and Poison Jab
Bug type: Sunny Day, and Aerial Ace
Rock: Rock Smash, Focus Blast, Metal Claw
Steel type: Focus Blast, Low Sweep

Or, if you're playing Pokémon Legends: Arceus, here it is:

You can use Swords Dance first before doing counter, it helps its attack power increase.

Fighting-type: Psycho cut, Aerial Ace
Fairy-type: Iron Tail and Poison Jab
Steel type: Rock Smash

Hope this helps!

Weak moves like Metal Claw and Aerial Ace do less damage than STAB Icicle Crash, even when they get 2x damage. So those aren't great suggestions.
Generally, it is bad advice to suggest coverage moves just because they cover defensive weaknesses. Your STABs do lots of damage, and if it's too dangerous to use them, there is no problem with switching out.

Sunny day isnt an attacking move, rock smash is trash, focus blast is a special move on WEAVILE, and u said weavile does 4x damage to fighting types but Weavile takes 4x damage from fighting type attacks.

surf is a special attack, and rain dance is not an attacking move either.
