Weezing (Japanese: マタドガス Matadogas) is a Poison-type Pokémon.

Weezing has the ability Levitate, which makes it immune to Ground-type attacks.

Weezing evolves from Koffing starting at Level 35.

Contents

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 Weezing
James's Weezing
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

Main article: Weezing (TCG)

In the TFG

One Weezing figure has been released.

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.

Pokédex entries

Gen Game Pokédex entry
I Red Where two kinds of poison gases meet, two Koffings can fuse into a Weezing over many years.
Blue
Yellow It lives and grows by absorbing dust, germs, and poison gases that are contained in toxic waste and garbage.
Stadium A twinned Koffing that forms on rare occasions where poisonous gases pool. Its two toxic gases appear to be different.
II Gold If one of the twin Koffing inflates, the other one deflates. It constantly mixes its poisonous gases.
Silver Top-grade perfume is made using its internal poison gases by diluting them to the highest level.
Crystal When it inhales poisonous gases from garbage, its body expands, and its insides smell much worse.
Stadium 2 If one of the twin Koffing inflates, the other one deflates. It constantly mixes its poisonous gases.
III Ruby Weezing loves the gases given off by rotted kitchen garbage. This Pokémon will find a dirty, unkept house and make it its home. At night, when the people in the house are asleep, it will go through the trash.
Sapphire Weezing alternately shrinks and inflates its twin bodies to mix together toxic gases inside. The more the gases are mixed, the more powerful the toxins become. The Pokémon also becomes more putrid.
Emerald By diluting its toxic gases with a special process, the highest grade of perfume can be extracted. To Weezing, gases emanating from garbage are the ultimate feast.
FireRed Very rarely, a sudden mutation can result in two small Koffing twins becoming conjoined as a Weezing.
LeafGreen Where two kinds of poison gases meet, two Koffings can fuse into a Weezing over many years.
IV Diamond It grows by feeding on gases released by garbage. Though very rare, triplets have been found.
Pearl It grows by feeding on gases released by garbage. Though very rare, triplets have been found.

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 Poison-type Pokémon immune to Ground-type 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.

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 , 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
