KoffingFates Collide #27 Pokémon Card

Koffing, a Generation I Poison-type Pokémon, is renowned for its spherical body and the noxious gases it emits. Introduced in the very first Pokémon games, Red and Blue, Koffing quickly became an iconic symbol of the Kanto region's industrial areas and a staple in Team Rocket's roster, often seen alongside its evolved form, Weezing. Its natural habitat often involves polluted environments, factories, and urban areas, where it thrives on the toxic fumes. Koffing's diet consists primarily of various gases, which it absorbs and converts into the potent poisons it uses for defense. Its behavior is generally mischievous, often floating through areas and releasing its characteristic gas, sometimes unintentionally causing discomfort to those nearby. As a pure Poison-type, Koffing has type advantages against Grass and Fairy Pokémon, but is weak to Ground and Psychic attacks. Its memorable design and frequent appearances in the anime, particularly as part of James's team, have cemented its place in Pokémon pop culture.
