Weezing or Steelix?

[Horn Drill]

Before anyone pops in here and complains about all the random polls that are supposedly being made all the time, lemme just tell you that there's a somewhat big debate going on in RMT about whether Weezing or Steelix is better for using on a team. Steelix has really high Defense, a resist to Normal, and can EQ, RS, and Explode, but Weezing can Haze, Will-o-Wisp, and Pain Split, as well as completely avoid Ground attacks.

I vote for Weezing, because he is awesome, and there's no other Pokemon that can do all that stuff. Any Choice Bander can Earthquake and Rock Slide, but Will-o-Wisp and Haze? You don't see that everyday, do you? Levitate is an awesome Ability, and anything that can avoid Earthquake shouldn't be overlooked.

Weezing is clearly the better choice, and all of you who pick Steelicks should remember who's the better Poke when some Surfer or Earthquaker comes around.

 

[Comis Patronus]

Both are pathetic but I guess Steelix is better.....

 

[Auraninja]

I perfer Weezing more. It has workable Special Attack and it can learn Shadow Ball. Something about him though catches my attention. Maybe the two heads...

lol at you.

Wezzing@Leftovers
Levitate

Sludge Bomb
Will-o-Wisp
Pain Split
Haze

I don't care what anyone says, but Sludge Bomb > Fire Blast, Shadow Ball, Thunderbolt, or anything else you could imagine to put in the attacking slot.

Stellicks@Leftovers
Sturdy
252 HP/120 SPDef/80 Def/58 Atk
Rock Slide
Earthquake
Explosion
Rest

This is probably one of the best, if not the best, physical wall out there.

Take those and shove 'em up your Charizard and whatever.

Steelix is better in many respects, but I still prefer Weezing because it gives me a feeling of security. It's very stable and avoids EQ.

 

[Slasher]

i would say Steelix is better for lots of reasons.

Now, now, no need to get hostile. You asked the person's opinion and they gave it to you. By the way, the print in bold is what I thought was uncalled for.

I choose Weezing too, but I prefer Dusclops over him =P

 

[Volteon]

Steelix...
Currently I´m starting to like a lot of pokémon I didn´t like before, like some fire Pokémon, poison (weezing included) and few Psychics.
even liking weezing, I prefer Stelix.

 

[Golden_Latias]

Steelix. One of the best Physical Walls out there. Though Weezing isn't bad, either. . . but I voted Steelix.

I vote for steelix.

Steelix has overall great stats and a handfull of good resistances and immunites. It has two good stabs and a good movepool. He has EQ, IT, and RS. He also has toxic, explosion, psych up, roar, rest, etc. He makes a good phsycial wall and any physcial attack that he resists bounces off harmlessly. He can even take EQ's and fighting attacks aslogn as they are not that heavily boosted.

Steelix can actually damage something unlike weezing who relies on a poor stab which doesn't super effective that much as well as poorly-boosted special attacks. He does have good support moves, though. Steelix can damage stuff with Stab Earthquake and Iron Tail as well as Rock Slide.

Weezing is owned by a lot of stuff. Celebi, Jirachi, Suicune, Zapdos, Raikou, etc. A lot of physical pokemon can own it too. DDtar beats it as the only thing it can do is just sludge bomb it.

Despite its good physical defense, it doesn't make the best physical wall. A lot of attacks hurt it. I tonly has the rare bug and fighting (heracross) resist as well as the [oh so useful] ground immunity. Metagross can 2hko it, it can't take stabbed normal cb attacks for **** (dodrio 2hko's it) as welel it can't switch into stuff like aero that often without healing.

Weezing is only useful imo for countering heracross as well as hazing curselax.

Your post didn't make all that much sense in some places. Steelix isn't meant to sweep, it is meant to wall. I'd use aerodactyl or rhydon if I wanted a strong EQ/RS. You are also overestimating its special defense. Weezing is 2hko'd by a lot of special attacks including surf. Steelix can actually wall some special attacks namely hp electrics.

So, in conclusion:

Giant iron snake>>>>>>>>>>>Exploding Testicles.

Really, for team-building, it depends on what's already on your team. As a single poke, I guess Weezing is more versatile and resists EQ, but Steelix is a better tank, and can do a lot of physical damage, too.

I'm split.

^ Amen Tazzler. I vote Steelix. No more really needs to be said. If a Steelix was vs. a Weezing, Steelix would obviously win because of its great power and its defense against poison attacks.

 

[Charizard_Fire_God]

I like Steelix. ^.===.^

Steelix has an excellent defense, tch, Weezing's just... ordinary. o.=.O

And oooooh @ poll option. "SteeLICKS"... ^.======.^

 

[Deathskully]

I just like Weezing more. Steelix used to be an underused steel penis but now, it is really an awesome poke. It's a great physical wall, and is good if you're sick of Skarmory, but Weezing is just so cool to use to annoy and burn everything in your opponents team.

 

[AJ Flibble]

Steelix. More resistances, looks badass, can actually attack decently, and it's a ****ing steel snake. Anymore reasons I need?

lol Sneezing

 

[Shiney_Hunter_Tauros_Rule]

Hehe Tazzler.
Down with the flying testicales ftw

 

[Anikin]

He He. Steelix is what I choose.

 

[Freakshow]

Tazzler dominated the poll.
I voted for Steelix. Its a lot cooler and has a better cry. Plus, walling electrics, roaring Jolteons/Zapdos is always cool.
It should be noted that Steelix is a great status absorber with immunity to Toxic/Thunder Wave. IMO Steelix should be more used

 

[Zero Nexus]

go steelix!

 

[Divine_Light]

Stelix is better imo

 

[Fluorescent Adolescent]

licks is the best defensive wall in the game. Immunity to poison/TW and rests off burns so weezing/clops can't do **** to him. Also, toxicroar licks is actually class. He's also a good zapdos counter and generally does better against physical sweepers, even those with EQ from my experience. Resistance to electric is class as well. Also, yeah it's trapped by maggy, but it can easily OHKO it with a 4 SE hit and STABbed EQ.

A top tier pokemon for sure. Deserves to be used more. I actually prefer it to skarm, the most common physical wall (although it really shouldn't be because there are too many counters for it).
