Koffing (Japanese: ドガース Dogars) is a Poison-type Pokémon.

It evolves into Weezing starting at level 35.

Biology

Physiology

Koffing is a round, limbless purple Pokémon filled to the brim with toxic gases. Several crater-like protrusions on this Pokémon's body give it the resemblance of a naval mine or a meteorite. Koffing has a skull and crossbones below its blissful face. Koffing has been considered to be related to Grimer, who is also a purple Poison-type Pokémon that associates with pollutants. Koffing may also be related to Drifloon, who is also a floating, round, purple, "X"-bearing Pokémon with a tendency to explode.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Koffing spews out poisonous gases whenever it gets upset. On the other hand, Koffing exhales fresh, clean gases whenever it becomes happy or overjoyed. Although Koffing's gas is more commonly attributed as being poisonous, the gases may also cause coughs, sniffles, and teary eyes. Koffing has also been known to explode from over inflating its body. Koffing is also capable of launching Fire and Electrical attacks. As shown in the anime, Koffing's gas can be ignited by fire or electricity, which suggests that it also contains flammable hydrocarbons.

Behavior

If Koffing becomes agitated, it raises the toxicity of its internal gases and then jets them out from all over its body. Koffing is prone to overinflating its round body before it self-destructs. The higher the temperature, the more gas Koffing concocts.

Koffing is known to float in the air. This is because its body is filled with a gas that is slightly lighter than air. The gas is a combination of the vapors from fermenting trash and Koffing’s own poisonous fumes.

Habitat

Koffing are a very common sight around burned down buildings, abandoned buildings and power plants. Volcanoes also provide a suitable habitat for them. It is common in Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, but seldom encountered in Sinnoh.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

Koffing mainly eat rotten kitchen garbage.

Trivia

  • In the Pokémon Red and Blue beta, Koffing was originally known as "Ny", representing New York City's polluted air.
    • This would have made it, and its evolution (then known as "La"), the Pokémon with the shortest English name. As of Generation V, that honor is held by Muk and Mew, both of which were also introduced in Generation I.
  • Koffing and Weezing are the only pure Poison-type Pokémon immune to Ground-type attacks, due to their Ability, Levitate.
  • According to a question of a Pokémon Exam the characters of the anime participated in, Koffing was supposedly first discovered in a public bathhouse. However, the Team Rocket expansion's Koffing card states that Koffing was first discovered in a weapons factory. This may be either because Jessie answered the question incorrectly, or due to an inconsistency between the TCG and anime.
  • As of Pokémon Black2 & White2 Koffing and Munna are the only Pokémon to be mentioned in a vocal track. Munna's name is sung in the 'Charming Munna' Pokémon Musical and Koffing is sung about in Roxie's gym. However, Koffing's name was simply replaced with the word "Pokémon" in international releases.

Origin

Considering its looks, its ability to float, and its tendency to explode, it may have been based upon a floating naval mine or living meteorite. It is also based on smog and other forms of air pollution. Koffing may also be based on the imagined fear that heavy pollution, caused by the leakage and/or improper disposal of toxic/radioactive waste, may result in the creation of new and undesirable life.

Name origin

Koffing is a corruption of coughing.

Dogars is a combination of 獰 (bad) or 毒 doku (poisonous) and gas. It also could come from the Brazilian expression droga, which means something bad or rotten.
