Introduced in Generation I, Koffing is a pure Poison-type Pokémon that evolves into Weezing starting at level 35. Its natural habitat includes polluted urban areas, abandoned factories, and volcanic regions, where it thrives on toxic gases. Koffing's diet consists primarily of various airborne pollutants, which it converts into its signature poisonous gas. In the games, Koffing is often encountered in areas associated with Team Rocket, reflecting its mischievous and sometimes antagonistic role. In the anime, Koffing and its evolution Weezing are famously associated with James of Team Rocket, serving as iconic and often comedic foils to Ash and his friends. Its distinct skull-and-crossbones marking is a clear visual indicator of its toxic nature, making it a recognizable symbol of the Poison type. Koffing's design, inspired by floating mines and air pollution, gives it a unique and memorable presence in the Pokémon universe, embodying the environmental themes often subtly woven into the franchise.
