===Gotta Catch 'Em All!: Koffing===
===Character of the Day: Elesa===
* '''Koffing''' (Japanese: '''ドガース''' ''Dogars'') is a {{type|Poison}} Pokémon. It evolves into {{p|Weezing}} starting at level 35. It is classified as the "Poison Gas" Pokémon and has the Ability {{a|Levitate}}.
* '''Elesa''' (Japanese: '''カミツレ''' ''Kamiture'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Nimbasa City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Nimbasa Gym]]. She specializes in {{type|Electric}} Pokémon. She gives the {{badge|Bolt}} to Trainers who defeat her.  
* It is #109 in the National Pokédex, #115{{tt|*|114 in Generation II}} in the Johto Pokédex and #108 in the Hoenn Pokédex. It is set to appear in the extended Unova dex in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}. Its Fiore, Almia and Oblivia browser numbers are: 089, 187, 045 respectively.
* The player can challenge her to a battle after riding a series of roller coasters to her location, a process involving the flipping of multiple switches so the tracks take the player to her. She utilizes a strategy that involves using {{m|Volt Switch}} between her two {{p|Emolga}}, and later {{p|Zebstrika}}. Upon defeating her, she will reward the player with a Bolt Badge and {{TM|72|Volt Switch}}.
* Koffing made its anime debut in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' under the ownership of [[James]] of {{TRT}}. It was his main Pokémon and often used its {{m|SmokeScreen}} to distract {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} while attempting to catch {{AP|Pikachu}}. Another Koffing will be used by [[Homika]] in [[BW083]], making it the first non-Unova Pokémon to be seen in Unova.
* Outside of battle, Elesa is a supermodel. She appears when [[Bianca]] attempts to convince her father to allow her to become a Pokémon Trainer. Elesa aids her, convincing [[Bianca's father]] to give his daughter the permission to follow her dream.
* In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Koffing was seen as one of [[Koga]]'s Pokémon alongside its evolution. When Koga and {{adv|Blue}} are ambushed by [[Agatha]]'s {{p|Gengar}} in {{PAV|7}}, Koga uses Koffing's smoke to relay his tactical plan to Blue without Gengar noticing.  
* Elesa made her anime debut in ''[[BW049|Enter Elesa, Electrifying Gym Leader!]]'' where {{Ash}} and {{an|Bianca}} went to her modelling shows to request a Gym Battle. Bianca got picked first to battle against and won with ease. Ash battled her in the [[BW050|next episode]] in a three on three battle where he won, earning himself the Bolt Badge.
* {{TCG|Koffing}} has been featured on {{#expr: {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Koffing (TCG)}} - 1}} different cards since it debuted in the {{TCG|Base Set}} of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. Koffing cards are normally {{ct|Psychic}} {{TCG|Basic Pokémon}}.
* She appears in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga with other Nimbasa officials discussing [[Pokémon Musical]]s with the [[BW Agency]] as Nimbasa was starting to become a tourist area. Later, {{adv|Black}} challenges her to a Gym Battle which he won. She is next seen alongside her fellow Gym Leaders at the [[Celestial Tower]] discussing [[Team Plasma]].
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Koffing was originally known as "Ny", representing New York City's polluted air.
* She is set to reappear in {{2v|Black|White|2}}
