Trivia
- Koffing's original English name was going to be "Ny", the initials of New York.
- Koffing was depicted as having its skull-and-crossbones pattern being above its face in Pokémon Red and Blue and the Japanese Pokémon Blue, rather than the pattern being under its face as potrayed in the original versions of Pokémon Red and Green and later games. It is unknown if this was purposely done or if it was a sprite error (similar to the error of Raikou's sprite in Pokémon Gold and Silver).
- Koffing is the favourite Pokémon of Pokemopolis.
- According to a question of a Pokémon Exam the characters of the anime participate in, Koffing was supposedly first discovered in a public outhouse.
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
Koffing's name is a corruption of the word coughing. Its Japanese word is based on English gas while the do is Japanese for either bad or poisoning.
