'''Koffing''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドガース''' ''Dogars'') is a {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].


=Biology=
It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Weezing}} starting at [[level]] 35.
==Physiology==
Koffing is round, purple Pokémon filled to the brim with toxic gases.  there are several crater-like protrusions on this Pokémon's body that give it the resemblance of a naval mine.  Koffing has a skull and cross-bones below its blissful face.  Koffing has been considered to be related to {{p|Grimer}}, who is also a purple {{t|Poison}}-type Pokémon that associates with pollutants.  Koffing may also be related to {{p|Drifloon}}, who is also a floating, round, purple, "X"-bearing Pokémon with a tendency to explode.
===Gender differences===
None.


===Special abilities===
In [[Galar]], Koffing evolves into {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Weezing}} starting at level 35.
Koffing spews out poisonous gases whenever it gets agitated.  Koffing has also been known to explode from over inflating its body.  Koffing is also capable of launching {{t|Fire}} and {{t|Electric}}al attacks.


==Behavior==
==Biology==
==Habitat==
Koffing is a spherical {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} filled with toxic gases. It has vacant eyes and a wide mouth that usually has two pointed teeth in the upper jaw. However, a full set of teeth is shown in the ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' episode ''[[BW083|Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 1]].'' Below its face is a cream-colored skull-and-crossbones marking. Several geyser-like protrusions, which usually release a mustard-colored gas, cover this Pokémon's body. Koffing's purple skin is very thin, and over-inflation can cause it to explode. The [[Pocket Monsters Carddass Trading Cards]] depicts Koffing as having a hollow body.
==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''


Koffing mainly eat rotten kitchen garbage.
Koffing creates gases within its body by mixing toxins with garbage, and produces more gas in higher temperatures. These gases are malodorous and cause sniffles, coughs, and teary eyes to those around them. The gases are also lighter than air, allowing Koffing to hover. When agitated, it creates a more toxic gas and expels it through the holes in its body. As shown in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', Koffing's gas can be ignited by fire or electricity. It feeds on the fumes of raw, rotting trash found in gas dumps and polluted air. Koffing at one point was plentiful in [[Galar]] due to factories. Koffing is most often found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}.


=In the anime=
Koffing and its evolution, {{p|Weezing}}, are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Neutralizing Gas}} as an [[Ability]].
Koffing first appeared in [[EP002]] as [[James]]'s Pokémon.  It evolved into [[James's Weezing|Weezing]] during [[EP031]].


A poacher had captured a bunch of Koffing in [[AG006]].
===Evolution===
Koffing evolves into {{p|Weezing}}.


=Pokédex entries=
In [[Galar]], it evolves into {{rf|Galarian}} Weezing.
; [[Pokémon Red and Blue]] / [[Pokémon LeafGreen]]
: Because it stores several kinds of toxic gases in its body, it is prone to [[Explosion (move)|exploding]] without warning.
; [[Pokémon Yellow]]
: In hot places, its internal gases could expand and [[Explosion (move)|explode]] without any warning. Be very careful!
; [[Pokémon Stadium]]
: A [[Pokémon]] that is like a thin-skinned balloon filled with a highly toxic gas. Known to occasionally explode.
; [[Pokémon Gold]]
: Its thin, flimsy body is filled with gases that cause constant sniffles, coughs and teary eyes.
; [[Pokémon Silver]]
: The poisonus gases it contains are a little bit lighter than air, keeping it slightly airborne.
; [[Pokémon Crystal]]
: If one gets close enough to it when it expels poisonus gas, the gas swirling inside it can be seen.
; [[Pokémon Ruby]]
: If Koffing becomes agitated, it raises the toxicity of its internal gases and then jets them out from all over its body. This [[Pokémon]] may overinflate its round body, then explode.
; [[Pokémon Sapphire]]
: Koffing ebodies {{M|toxic}} substances. It mixes the toxins with raw garbage to set off a chemical reaction that results in a terribly powerful {{m|Poison Gas}}. The higher the temperature, the more gas is concocted by this [[Pokémon]]
; [[Pokémon Emerald]]
: Getting up close to a Koffing will give you a chance to observe, through its thin skin, the toxic gases swirling inside. It blows up at the slightest stimulation.
; [[Pokémon FireRed]]
: Its thin, balloon-like body is inflated by horribly toxic gases. It reeks when it is nearby.

Koffing appears as a trophy in both games.
 
====Trophy information====
'''3DS:''' ''This Poison-type Pokémon's balloon-like body is filled with toxic gases. In Smash Run, it floats over to fighters and expels gas at regular intervals. If the gas touches you, the stats you've worked so hard to build up will drop! Attack while it's deflated to take it down safely, and then help yourself to the many, many items it leaves behind.''
 
'''Wii U:''' ''A Poison-type Pokémon that looks somewhat like a blown-up balloon. As you might be able to guess, though, it's not filled with fresh air - that's poison gas, and this Pokémon isn't shy about sharing. In Smash Tour, the gas it spews will hide spaces and any items that may be on them. The smoke should disappear by the end of the turn.''
{{-}}
==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Koffing was originally known as "Ny", representing {{wp|New York City}}'s polluted air.
* According to a Pokémon Exam question in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', Koffing was supposedly first discovered in a public bathhouse. However, the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} expansion's {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Koffing|58}} 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 animated series.
* Koffing and {{p|Munna}} are the only Pokémon whose names are mentioned in music found in the games. Munna's name is heard in ミュージカル「メロメロ★ムンナ」 ''[[Pokémon Black 2 & Pokémon White 2: Super Music Collection|Musical "Charming Munna"]]'', while Koffing's Japanese name is heard in タチワキジム(演奏・DOGARS) ''[[Pokémon Black 2 & Pokémon White 2: Super Music Collection|Virbank Gym (Performance - KOFFING)]]'', although it is replaced with the word "Pokémon" in international releases.
** This distinction is possibly shared with {{p|Wingull}}, as its Japanese name, キャモメ ''Camome'', is arguably heard in the obscure vocals of ビレッジブリッジ ''[[Pokémon Black & Pokémon White: Super Music Collection|Village Bridge]]''.
* Koffing shares similar traits to {{p|Grimer}} and {{p|Trubbish}}. All three Pokémon are pure {{type|Poison}} Pokémon with a single evolved form, roughly the same base stat totals and evolution levels, and appear to be based on a different kind of pollution; Koffing being air pollution.
* Koffing and its evolved Kantonian form are the only Pokémon whose {{Abilities}} changed in [[Generation VIII]]. In previous [[generation]]s, their only Ability was {{a|Levitate}}.
 
===Origin===
Considering its looks, its ability to float, and its tendency to explode, Koffing may have been based upon a floating {{wp|naval mine}} or living {{wp|meteorite}}. It is also based on {{wp|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 and/or radioactive waste, may result in the creation of new and undesirable lifeforms. The symbol under its face resembles the {{wp|skull and crossbones}}, a hazard symbol for poison.
 
====Name origin====
Koffing may be a corruption of ''coughing''.
 
Dogars may be derived from 毒ガス ''doku-gasu'' (poison gas).


=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 (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]], rather than the pattern being ''under'' it's 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|Raikou's]] sprite in [[Pokémon Gold and Silver]]).
*Koffing is the favourite Pokémon of [[Pokemopolis]].
==Origin==
Considering its looks, its ability to float, and its tendency to explode, it may have been based upon a floating [[wp:naval mine|naval mine]].
===Name origin===
Koffing's name is a corruption of the word ''coughing''. Its Japanese word is based on English ''[[wp:gas|gas]]'' while the ''do'' is Japanese for either ''bad'' or ''poisoning''.

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

It evolves into Weezing starting at level 35.

In Galar, Koffing evolves into Galarian Weezing starting at level 35.

Biology

Koffing is a spherical Pokémon filled with toxic gases. It has vacant eyes and a wide mouth that usually has two pointed teeth in the upper jaw. However, a full set of teeth is shown in the Pokémon the Series: Black & White episode Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 1. Below its face is a cream-colored skull-and-crossbones marking. Several geyser-like protrusions, which usually release a mustard-colored gas, cover this Pokémon's body. Koffing's purple skin is very thin, and over-inflation can cause it to explode. The Pocket Monsters Carddass Trading Cards depicts Koffing as having a hollow body.

Koffing creates gases within its body by mixing toxins with garbage, and produces more gas in higher temperatures. These gases are malodorous and cause sniffles, coughs, and teary eyes to those around them. The gases are also lighter than air, allowing Koffing to hover. When agitated, it creates a more toxic gas and expels it through the holes in its body. As shown in the Pokémon the Series episode Pokémon Emergency!, Koffing's gas can be ignited by fire or electricity. It feeds on the fumes of raw, rotting trash found in gas dumps and polluted air. Koffing at one point was plentiful in Galar due to factories. Koffing is most often found in urban areas.

Koffing and its evolution, Weezing, are the only known Pokémon that can have Neutralizing Gas as an Ability.

Evolution

Koffing evolves into Weezing.

In Galar, it evolves into Galarian Weezing.

Green
Red(ENG) Because it stores several kinds of toxic gases in its body, it is prone to exploding without warning.

Generation II Johto
#114
Gold Its thin, filmy body is filled with gases that cause constant sniffles, coughs and teary eyes.
Silver The poisonous gases it contains are a little bit lighter than air, keeping it slightly airborne.
Crystal If one gets close enough to it when it expels poisonous gas, the gas swirling inside it can be seen.
Stadium 2 Its thin, filmy body is filled with gases that cause constant sniffles, coughs and teary eyes. (Pokémon Red, Silver, or Crystal inserted)

Other appearances

Super Smash Bros.

When released from a Poké Ball, Koffing will initiate a Poison Gas attack, which will pummel an opponent. Koffing did not return in Super Smash Bros. Melee and was replaced by Weezing.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U

Koffing appears in the 3DS version as an enemy in Smash Run. Its Poison Gas will reduce player's stats.

It later reappears in Smash Tour, an exclusive mode for Wii U version. In this mode, Koffing will release Smokescreen, which will obscure all players' view of the board for one turn.

Koffing trophy in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS

Koffing appears as a trophy in both games.

Trophy information

3DS: This Poison-type Pokémon's balloon-like body is filled with toxic gases. In Smash Run, it floats over to fighters and expels gas at regular intervals. If the gas touches you, the stats you've worked so hard to build up will drop! Attack while it's deflated to take it down safely, and then help yourself to the many, many items it leaves behind.

Wii U: A Poison-type Pokémon that looks somewhat like a blown-up balloon. As you might be able to guess, though, it's not filled with fresh air - that's poison gas, and this Pokémon isn't shy about sharing. In Smash Tour, the gas it spews will hide spaces and any items that may be on them. The smoke should disappear by the end of the turn.

Trivia

  • In the Pokémon Red and Blue beta, Koffing was originally known as "Ny", representing New York City's polluted air.
  • According to a Pokémon Exam question in Pokémon the Series, 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 animated series.
  • Koffing and Munna are the only Pokémon whose names are mentioned in music found in the games. Munna's name is heard in ミュージカル「メロメロ★ムンナ」 Musical "Charming Munna", while Koffing's Japanese name is heard in タチワキジム(演奏・DOGARS) Virbank Gym (Performance - KOFFING), although it is replaced with the word "Pokémon" in international releases.
    • This distinction is possibly shared with Wingull, as its Japanese name, キャモメ Camome, is arguably heard in the obscure vocals of ビレッジブリッジ Village Bridge.
  • Koffing shares similar traits to Grimer and Trubbish. All three Pokémon are pure Poison-type Pokémon with a single evolved form, roughly the same base stat totals and evolution levels, and appear to be based on a different kind of pollution; Koffing being air pollution.
  • Koffing and its evolved Kantonian form are the only Pokémon whose Abilities changed in Generation VIII. In previous generations, their only Ability was Levitate.

Origin

Considering its looks, its ability to float, and its tendency to explode, Koffing 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 and/or radioactive waste, may result in the creation of new and undesirable lifeforms. The symbol under its face resembles the skull and crossbones, a hazard symbol for poison.

Name origin

Koffing may be a corruption of coughing.

Dogars may be derived from 毒ガス doku-gasu (poison gas).
