Weezing (マタドガス,Matadogas) is aPokémon. It evolves fromKoffing.
Origin[edit]
Weezing is a Poison-type Pokémon introduced inGeneration I, and is categorized within the Pokédex at #110 as the "Poison Gas Pokémon". It evolves fromKoffing at level 35, and like its previous form it uses the gases contained in its body to float, attack and occasionally explode. It is somewhat notable for being Team Rocket memberJames's partner Pokémon in the early episodes of thePokémon animated series, having evolved from Koffing in the 31st episode of the original series and remaining with him until early into theAdvanced Generation series. Weezing also has a Poison/Fairy-type Galarianregional form inPokémon Sword and Shield.
Smog is a Poison-type move which Weezing learns at early levels when it's still a Koffing. While very weak (30 base power, 20 prior toGeneration VI) it has a 40% chance of inflicting the Poison status to the target.
InSuper Smash Bros. Melee[edit]
Weezing briefly appears during the opening sequence.
As a Poké Ball Pokémon[edit]
Weezing can appear as aPoké Ball Pokémon, using Smog as its attack, which is nearly identical to Koffing's attack inSuper Smash Bros. A cloud of gas will come out of the holes in Weezing. Any character that makes contact with the Smog will take 3%damage and lowknockback. If a character is stuck in the center of Weezing's attack, then they will also take damage continuously. Weezing can deal the most damage out of any Pokémon inMelee, being able to deal well over 100% if someone is to stay in the center of it, but a player can simplyDI out of Weezing's attack to minimize damage. It is interesting to note that Weezing can deal extreme damage toGiga Bowser, as his very large size keeps him from escaping Weezing once trapped within. It is possible for Giga Bowser to accumulate over 300% from Weezing, making Weezing very valuable inEvent 51: The Showdown and in the Giga Bowser battle inAdventure Mode.
Weezing has a spawn chance of30/583.
Weezing's Japanese voice clip is from thePokémon episodeDig Those Diglett! while its English voice clip is from thePokémon episodeLights, Camera, Quack-tion.
As a stage element[edit]
A giant balloon of Weezing (in actuality, the 3D model of Weezing used inPokémon Stadium for Nintendo 64) is one of the many floating and bending "platforms" that make thePoké Floats stage. The balloon starts out big and actually decreases in size over time, likely referencing its ability to change its body size when releasing gas.
Trophy[edit]
Weezing features as a collectible trophy, unlocked as one of the 100+ trophies that can be collected randomly during normal play, such as in theTrophy Lottery and throughout the various single-player regular matches.
- Weezing
- The evolved form of Koffing, Weezing is basically a pair of Koffing fused together. They tend to float in the air and emit gas or noxious smoke from the outgrowths that cover their bodies. As strange as it may seem, diluting Weezing emissions as much as possible creates one of the most exquisite perfumes known to man.

InSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]
Spirit[edit]
Weezing appears as a Novice-classsupport spirit. InAdventure Mode: World of Light, its spirit can be found in the racing circuit area ofThe Light Realm.
Weezing's Spirit Battle uses a green-and-purpleWario puppet fighter on a hazardlessPokémon Stadium. The stage has a poison cloud hazard, referencing Weezing's Poison type.
