Read more ↓Koffing, the Poison Gas Pokémon, is a spherical, purple creature known for its perpetually grinning face and the skull-and-crossbones symbol on its belly. It was introduced in Generation I, hailing from the Kanto region, and evolves into Weezing. Koffing is a pure Poison-type Pokémon, making it effective against Grass and Fairy types, but vulnerable to Ground and Psychic attacks. In the wild, Koffing are often found in polluted areas, such as industrial zones and urban environments, where they thrive on the toxic gases they emit. Their diet consists primarily of various pollutants and waste products, which they absorb and convert into their signature poisonous gas. They are generally mischievous but not inherently malicious, often floating aimlessly or startling unsuspecting trainers with their noxious fumes. Koffing and its evolution, Weezing, are iconic members of Team Rocket in the anime, often seen alongside Jessie and James, further cementing their place in Pokémon lore as representatives of villainy and pollution, despite their innocent appearance. Their design is a clear commentary on environmental issues, reflecting the dangers of industrial waste.
