In Pokémon Sword and Shield, a new variant of Weezing are introduced as part of a form called "Galarian", referring to the region Galar featured in the game. It retains its Poison type while gaining the Fairy type, and features some design differences.

It has also been noted for its competitive viability, particularly due to the original form's Levitate ability and the Galarian form's Neutralizing Gas ability.
