It's understandable to assume that Weezing is not
the greatest pokemon in the trading card game.
Just don't it a really bad card!
Though it can be quite effective in the line of
attack. Let's analyze the Weezing card shall we?

Weezing
>Stage 1 pokemon, evolves from Koffing
>Uses grass type energy
>Has 60 HP
>Has two attacks it can use
*Smog - GG 20 damage with 50% chance of poison
*Self-Destruct - GGC 60 damage with 10 damage to
  each benched pokemon.
>Weakness against psychic
>Lacking resistance
>Requires 1 colorless to retreat

Weezing is a stage 1 pokemon of the grass type.

It has 60 HP which I find as a disadvantage.

It has 2 attacks certain to deal damage.

Smog is Weezing's first technique that require's GG
that inflicts 20 damage to the defending pokemon
with a 50% chance of poisoning. A reasonable attack.

Self-destruct is Weezing's most powerful move as it
inflicts 60 damage to the defending pokemon. This
attack also has the ability to devastate benched
pokemon. It deals a further 10 damage to benched pokemon
including your own, but to think of it, it doesn't really
affect your chances to win. 10 damage to benched pokemon
is decent compared to Magneton's and Golem's 20.

We can interpret this attack as dealing more than 60
damage as it also does 10 damage to the rest of the
benched pokemon, especially if the benches are packed.
Weezing can also live by attaching a number of defenders
to it. Another good thing is that self-destruct could
be your last attack when you notice that Weezing is going
to be knocked out next go.

It has a weakness to psychic which is good for tricking
fire decks to think that they have the advantage. No
resistance is terrible, but the low retreat cost is
excellent.

After considering the above, you can say that Weezing
is not all that bad its made to be. Just know how to
use it and combine it with other pokemon and it will be
effective. Give it a go!
