Verdict
Situational
Weavile is a solid but not elite Ice-type attacker, sitting at Tier B (#19) in raid performance. With a max CP of 3,397 and base stats of 243/171/172, it can fill a role on your team if you lack stronger Ice-type counters. The best moveset is Ice Shard paired with Avalanche. Consider investing if you need a Ice-type attacker now, but hold off on XL Candy investment as better alternatives exist. A useful stepping stone rather than an endgame pick.
Shadow vs Regular: Shadow Weavile deals 20% more damage but takes ~20% more. For raids, Shadow is generally the better investment. For PvP, evaluate matchups carefully — the bulk loss can be significant.
