Pokédex entries

In hot places, its internal gases could expand and explode without any warning. Be very careful!

Pokémon Gold

Its thin, flimsy body is filled with gases that cause constant sniffles, coughs and teary eyes.

Pokémon Silver

The poisonus gases it contains are a little bit lighter than air, keeping it slightly airborne.

Pokémon Crystal

If one gets close enough to it when it expels poisonus gas, the gas swirling inside it can be seen.

Pokémon Ruby

If Koffing becomes agitated, it raises the toxicity of its internal gases and then jets them out from all over its body. This Pokémon may overinflate its round body, then explode.

Pokémon Sapphire

Koffing ebodies Toxic substances. It mixes the toxins with raw garbage to set off a chemical reaction that results in a terribly powerful Poison Gas. The higher the temperature, the more gas is concocted by this Pokémon
