Weezing (Japanese: マタドガス Matadogas) is a Poison-type Pokémon.
It evolves from Koffing 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
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.
Game data
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. | |
| Platinum | Currently unknown |

- 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.
- Like Koffing, all but Pokémon Crystal's sprite have toxic gas around Weezing.
- It's FireRed and LeafGreen shiny sprite has a purple skull and crossbones, while all the other ones have gold skull and crossbones.
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
