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

It evolves from Koffing starting at level 35.

Biology

Weezing is a purple Pokémon consisting of two spherical heads connected by a thin tube with another sphere in the center. The heads have differing sizes and features. The left head is larger, and has prominent eyebrows, pointed teeth protruding from its lower jaw, and two flat teeth in its upper jaw. The smaller, right head simply has two pointed teeth, one at each corner of its mouth. The larger head has a cream-colored skull-and-crossbones marking below its face, while the smaller head has a light yellow circle instead. It is covered with many crater-like protrusions, which usually expel yellowish gases. Weezing is said to form when poisonous gases pool and two Koffing fuse over many years. Very rarely, two Koffing can become a Weezing in a short timespan because of a sudden mutation. Triplet Weezing have been discovered, although it is extremely rare.

Each of Weezing's heads contains a different toxin. It mixes its gases by inflating one head and deflating the other. When its gases mix, Weezing becomes more toxic and putrid. Weezing can hover in midair, presumably due to gases lighter than air, as is the case for Koffing. Despite their stench and poison, Weezing's gases can be used to make top-grade perfume by diluting them to the highest level.

Weezing lives in urban areas. It seeks a dirty, unkempt house and nests there. At night, when the people in the house are asleep, it will go through the trash. Weezing feeds on the dust, microorganisms, and especially gases emitted by garbage and toxic waste. Weezing's body expands and it starts smelling worse upon inhaling poisonous gases.

In the anime

In the main series

Weezing in the anime

Major appearances

James's Weezing

James's Koffing evolved into Weezing during Dig Those Diglett!. In A Poached Ego, it left them with Jessie's Arbok to protect a group of Koffing and Ekans that were freed from the captivity of Pokémon poacher Rico.

Other

Ash used a Weezing in a Pokémon League entrance exam in The Ultimate Test. It defeated the instructor's Flareon with its Smog, Smokescreen, and Tackle attacks. Later on, Ash commanded it to use Explosion against Team Rocket, causing them to blast off.

Minor appearances

A Weezing made an appearance in Lights! Camera! Pika!, under the ownership of Frank. Frank used Weezing for shooting movies where it helps to provide white smoke effects.

A Weezing appeared in I Choose You!.

Weezing in Pokémon Origins

In Pokémon Origins

A Weezing belonging to Koga briefly appeared in File 3: Giovanni.

In Pokémon Generations

A Weezing made an appearance in The Lake of Rage, under the ownership of Petrel. It attempted to stop Lance's infiltration of the Team Rocket HQ, although it was easily defeated by Dragonite.

In the manga

In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga

James's Weezing makes an appearance in the manga The Electric Tale of Pikachu. It first appears as a Koffing in Pikachu's Excellent Adventure. All of its subsequent appearances, beginning in You Gotta Have Friends, are as a Weezing.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Weezing debuted in Drat That Dratini! where a horde of Weezing tried to attacke Red and Yellow but they escaped using Red's Aerodactyl. One later appeared again in Long Live the Nidoqueen!? when the people of Viridian City were trying to calm Pokémon in the forest down. Another one appeared in Sea Sea Seadra where a wild Weezing and Sandslash appeared behind Bill still showing the ecology in Viridian Forest hasn't changed back to normal in two years.

Harry of the Team Rocket Elite Trio also has a Weezing which first appeared in The Coming of Slowpoke (Eventually).

Koga's Weezing first appeared in Weezing Winks Out, where it was used on Cerise Island to battle Agatha, mostly to bide time until Arbok regenerated.

Janine's Weezing first appeared in Crossing Crobat where it used its smoke to reveal the lasers in the Goldenrod Museum.

The Battle Factory rented a Weezing which was stolen by Guile Hideout in The Final Battle VII.

A Trainer's Weezing appeared in Deprogramming Porygon-Z.

In the Pokémon Zensho manga

Koga's only known Pokémon is Weezing. It battled against Satoshi's Ditto and lost.

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 hover in place and emit Poison Gas that juggles any opponent who comes near it, essentially serving the function of its pre-evolution, Koffing, from Super Smash Bros.

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 emissions as much as possible creates one of the most exquisite perfumes known to man.

Generation I
Red(ENG) Where two kinds of poison gases meet, 2 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.
Generation II
Gold If one of the twin Koffing inflates, the other one deflates. It constantly mixes its poisonous gases.

Trivia

  • In the Pokémon Red and Blue beta, Weezing was originally known as "La", representing Los Angeles' polluted air.
  • In certain instances in the games, such as summary pages and Pokémon Contests, a Pokémon's sprite will be horizontally flipped, unless its body is asymmetrical. For some reason, Weezing's sprite will get flipped in all instances despite its asymmetrical body. However, it may be explained by the twin bodies alternately inflating and deflating, as mentioned in the Pokédex, although this wouldn't necessarily explain why the body patterns switch places.
  • In Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum Pokédex entries for Weezing state that triplet forms have been discovered; however, this variant has not been shown in any Pokémon media.
  • Weezing shares similar traits to Muk and Garbodor. All three Pokémon are pure Poison types with a single pre-evolution, roughly the same base stat totals and evolution levels, and appear to be based on a different kind of pollution; Weezing being air pollution.

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. Weezing may also be based on the imagined fear that heavy pollution, caused by the leakage and/or improper disposal of toxic and/or radioactive waste, may result in the creation of new and undesirable life forms.

Name origin

Weezing is a corruption of wheezing, which means "producing a whistling sound while breathing with difficulty".

Matadogas may come from 又 mata (again), 獰 (bad) or 毒 doku (poisonous), and gas. Essentially, it is a doubling of Koffing's Japanese name Dogars, and thus a doubling of Koffing–which is exactly what Weezing is. It may also be a corruption of マスタードガス masutādogasu (mustard gas).
