Got both nature but can't choose which one is better to beat Cynthia's Garchomp or for other general use in game. I personally want to go with adamant but lower speed scares me for a glass cannon. Help me out. Thanks

If you have a few levels over the opponent speed won’t matter too much, so Adamant is probably better.
Adament + Focus Sash & if you really want to be safe save Weavile until the end
Consumable items are generally not good for in-game.

It's usually not worth your time to worry about natures when playing the main story, as long as your nature doesn't lower physical attack or speed. If you really want to choose between adamant and jolly, I think adamant is better. Weavile's base speed is already faster than almost everything, and it can outspeed those last few opponents by having a higher level or more EVs. Its STAB moves (namely night slash and ice punch) have relatively low base power and it doesn't like missing a 2HKO, so investing in physical attack is more likely to help.

Just in case you're wondering, a Weavile with 16 IVs, 84 EVs, and a neutral nature needs to be level 51 to outspeed Cyrus's Crobat, level 47 to outspeed Cyrus's Weavile, level 42 to outspeed Volkner's Jolteon, level 53 to outspeed Lucian's Alakazam, and level 51 to outspeed Cynthia's Garchomp.

I would suggest Jolly if you're wanting to beat Garchomp, while Adamant would be better for more power, Weavile is quite frail so being able to attack first would be better. and her Garchomp is really fast. BELIEVE ME.

Her Garchomp has 102 base speed and no EVs. Sure that's faster than most Pokemon, but a Weavile with any nature (even a speed lowering one) can easily outspeed it.
