Weezing (Japanese: マタドガス Matadogas) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.

It evolves from Koffing at level 35.

Biology

Physiology

Weezing look like two Koffing stuck together, with one bigger than the other. The smaller head only has a circle on it, instead of the skull-and-crossbones.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Each head had a different toxin in it. When one of the heads is inflated, the other deflates, mixing the gases. By doing this multiple times, it becomes more toxic and noxious. Unusually enough, high-grade perfumes could be made from Weezing. It's also prone to exploding.

Behavior

Habitat

Weezing live in urban and suburban areas.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

Weezing feed on the gases, dust, and microorganisms emitted by garbage and toxic waste.

In the anime

James's Koffing evolved into Weezing during Dig Those Diglett. In A Poached Ego, it left with Jessie's Arbok to protect a group of Koffing and Ekans that were freed from the captivity of a Pokémon poacher.

Ash used a Weezing in a Pokémon League entrance exam in The Ultimate Test. The Weezing defeated the instructor's Flareon.

In the manga

In the Pokémon Special manga

Both Koga and his daughter, Janine, have Weezing as a part of their arsenals.

In the TCG

In the TFG

One Weezing figure has been released.

• Next Quest: Weezing

Other appearances

Super Smash Bros. Melee

When released from a Poké Ball, Weezing will emit Poison Gas that juggles any opponent who comes near it.

Weezing is also a float in the Poké Float stage. It appears as Chikorita leaves. Once Slowpoke appears, it will slowly deflate and move to the top of the screen.

Trophy information

The evolved form of Koffing, Weezing is basically a pair of Koffing fused together. They tend to float in the air and emit gas or noxious smoke from the outgrowths that cover their bodies. As strange as it may seem, diluting Weezing omissions as much as possible creates one of the most exquisite perfumes known to man.

Trivia

• In the English version of the game, Weezing was originally going to have the name La, the abbreviation of Los Angeles.
• Weezing and Koffing are the the only pure Template:Type2 Pokémon immune to Template:Type2 attacks, due to their in-game ability, Levitate.
• Its sprites constantly change the location of where the two Koffing are attached. Because of this, it is possible to assume that it is different for all Weezing.
• Like Koffing, all but Pokémon Crystal's sprite have toxic gas around weezing.

Origin

Considering its looks, its ability to float, and its tendency to explode, it may have been based upon a floating naval mine.

Name origin

Weezing's name is a corruption of the word wheezing. Its Japanese name may come from 又 mata, again, and 獰 dō, meaning bad, or 毒 doku, meaning poisonous, and gas. Essentially, it is a doubling of Koffing's Japanese name, and thus a doubling of Koffing – which is exactly what Weezing is.

In other languages

• German: Smogmog - Doubling of Koffing's German name.
• French: Smogogo - Doubling of Koffing's French name.
• Korean: 또도사스 Ttodogaseu
