KoffingEvolutions #50 Pokémon Card

Koffing, the Poison Gas Pokémon, is a Generation I pure Poison-type Pokémon. It evolves into Weezing starting at Level 35. Koffing is known for its spherical, purple body, perpetually emitting toxic gases, and its distinct skull-and-crossbones marking, which is actually a symbol of danger rather than bones. Its natural habitat often includes polluted urban areas, abandoned buildings, and factories, thriving in environments rich in toxic fumes. Koffing's diet consists of various forms of waste and garbage, which it converts into its signature poisonous gases. In the anime, Koffing is famously partnered with James of Team Rocket, often used in their schemes to capture Ash's Pikachu. Its behavior is typically mischievous and playful, despite its dangerous nature. As a Poison type, Koffing is strong against Grass and Fairy types, but weak against Ground and Psychic types. In the games and anime, Koffing often serves as an early-game opponent or a common Pokémon found in specific locations, emphasizing its role as a creature adapted to harsh, human-altered environments.
