History

File:James's Koffing.JPG
As a Koffing

Weezing first appeared in Pokémon Emergency as a Koffing. It was used constantly by James and eventually evolved into a Weezing in the episode Dig Those Diglett along with Jessie's Ekans after James and Jessie were desperate for their Pokémon to evolve.

James used Weezing as his main battling Pokémon throughout much of the Kanto episodes, but during the Johto episodes, he tended to use Victreebel more for actual combat; during this time, Weezing was used to create smoke to cover escapes and entrances.

As Koffing, it was always happy and light-hearted, if not a bit dopey. But after it evolved, it constantly looked depressed and forlorn. This may not be indicative of its character, however, because all Weezing have this appearance. Weezing and Arbok seem to be both very emotional. This was first shown in Island of the Giant Pokémon, where they got very sad for being separated from James and Jessie, crying desesperately, with Pikachu cheering them. In the end of the episode, when every lost Pokémon got reunited with their partners, Koffing and James, along with Ekans and Jessie, were happily crying, while Ash was only smiling with Pikachu, which may mean that James's bond with Weezing is stronger than Ash's bond with Pikachu. In Lights, Camera, Quacktion both Weezing and Arbok got depressed for being rejected as the main characters in the movie. It was only with James's and Jessie's help that they got over it. On their last appearance, in A Poached Ego, they were reluctant in leaving James and Jessie, and when they did, they strongly cried. Wherever Weezing and Arbok are, they must be really suffering for not being with their partners. Also in this same episode James said that "Weezing and I are like brothers." thus, again, indicating a great bond between the two.

In the first movie there Nurse Joy and Miranda said more than once that only the stronger Pokémon with the most exceptional trainers could face the storm. Yet, it was Weezing who brought Team Rocket to New Island (after the failed Vicking scheme). This, obviously, means than Weezing is stronger than the average Pokémon.

In A Poached Ego, Team Rocket found a poacher holding a herd of Ekans and Koffing captive in Hoenn. After freeing them James and Jessie reluctantly ordered Weezing and Arbok to stay in the wild and guard their fellow Pokémon. Arbok and Weezing had to when the poacher used his Tyranitar to attack Jessie, James, and Meowth, even though it was clear that they wanted to stay and defend them. The two Pokémon have not been seen since.
