KoffingDelta Species #72 Pokémon Card

Koffing is a Poison-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I, known for its spherical body and the toxic gases it emits. It evolves into Weezing starting at Level 35. In the Pokémon world, Koffing are often found in polluted areas like factories and urban environments, thriving on the noxious fumes. Their diet consists primarily of various gases, which they absorb through their bodies. Behaviorally, Koffing are generally mischievous and are known to float around, sometimes surprising unsuspecting individuals with their foul-smelling gas. In the games, Koffing is a common early-game Poison-type that can be valuable for its status-inflicting moves. In the anime, Koffing is famously associated with James of Team Rocket, who often uses his Koffing (and later Weezing) in comedic and villainous schemes. Its distinctive skull-and-crossbones marking, while iconic, also serves as a warning of its toxic nature, contributing to its cultural significance as a recognizable symbol of poison in the Pokémon universe.
