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.

Biology

Physiology

Gender differences

None.

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 EP031. In AG006, 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 EP056. The Weezing defeated the instructor's Flareon.

In the TFG

One Weezing figure has been released.

Other appearances

Super Smash Brothers 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.

Pokédex entries

Pokémon Red and Blue / Pokémon LeafGreen

Where two kinds of poison gases meet, two Koffings can fuse into a Weezing over many years.

Pokémon Yellow

It lives and grows by absorbing dust, germs, and poison gases that are contained in toxic waste and garbage.

Pokémon Gold

If one of the twin Koffing inflates, the other one deflates. It constantly mixes its poisonous gases.

Pokémon Silver

Top-grade perfume is made using its internal poison gases by diluting them to the highest level.

Pokémon Crystal

When it inhales poisonous gases from garbage, its body expands, and its insides smell much worse.

Pokémon 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.

Pokémon 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.

Pokémon 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.

Pokémon FireRed

Very rarely, a sudden mutation can result in two small Koffing twins becoming conjoined as a Weezing.

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 Pokémon immune to ground type attacks.

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. The mata in Matadogas may be 又, again, which when combined with dogas implies that it is a doubling of Koffing, whose Japanese name is Dogars. Its name is also based on the English word gas.

In other languages

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