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 Dig Those Diglett. In A Poached Ego, 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 The Ultimate Test. The Weezing defeated the instructor's Flareon.

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.

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 Template:Type2 Pokémon immune to Template:Type2 attacks, due to their ability.

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
