Trivia

• Smog, Seed Flare, and Night Daze are the only moves with a 40% chance of a secondary effect happening.
• Despite it being a Poison-type move, Koffing and Weezing are the only Poison-type Pokémon that can learn Smog naturally, with Gulpin, Stunky, and Gastly learning it through breeding.
  • In fact, the other Pokémon that can learn it naturally are either pure or part Fire-type.
