'''Koffing''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ドガース ''Dogars'') is a {{t|Poison}}-type Pokémon.
|generation=1
|friendship=70
}}
'''Koffing''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドガース''' ''Dogars'') is a {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].


=Biology=
It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Weezing}} starting at [[level]] 35.
==Physiology==
Koffing is a round, purple [[Pokémon]] filled to the brim with toxic gases.  Several crater-like protrusions on this Pokémon's body give it the resemblance of a naval mine.  Koffing has a skull and cross-bones below its blissful face.  Koffing has been considered to be related to {{p|Grimer}}, who is also a purple {{t|Poison}}-type Pokémon that associates with pollutants.  Koffing may also be related to {{p|Drifloon}}, who is also a floating, round, purple, "X"-bearing Pokémon with a tendency to explode.
===Gender differences===
None.


===Special abilities===
In [[Galar]], Koffing evolves into {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Weezing}} starting at level 35.
Koffing spews out poisonous gases whenever it gets agitated.  Koffing has also been known to explode from over inflating its body.  Koffing is also capable of launching {{t|Fire}} and {{t|Electric}}al attacks.


==Behavior==
==Biology==
==Habitat==
Koffing is a spherical {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} filled with toxic gases. It has vacant eyes and a wide mouth that usually has two pointed teeth in the upper jaw. However, a full set of teeth has been seen in [[BW083|the anime]]. Below its face is a cream-colored skull-and-crossbones marking. Several geyser-like protrusions, which usually release a mustard-colored gas, cover this Pokémon's body. Koffing's purple skin is very thin, and over-inflation can cause it to explode. The [[Pocket Monsters Carddass Trading Cards]] depicts Koffing as having a hollow body.
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Urban Pokémon|Urban Pokémon]]]]
Koffing are a very common sight around burned down buildings, abandoned buildings and power plants.


==Diet==
Koffing creates gases within its body by mixing toxins with garbage, and produces more gas in higher temperatures. These gases are malodorous and cause sniffles, coughs, and teary eyes to those around them. The gases are also lighter than air, allowing Koffing to hover. When agitated, it creates a more toxic gas and expels it through the holes in its body. As shown [[EP002|in the anime]], Koffing's gas can be ignited by fire or electricity. It feeds on the fumes of raw, rotting trash found in gas dumps and polluted air. Koffing at one point was plentiful in [[Galar]] due to factories. Koffing is most often found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}.
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''


Koffing mainly eat rotten kitchen garbage.
Koffing and its evolution, {{p|Weezing}}, are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Neutralizing Gas}} as an [[Ability]].


=In the anime=
===Evolution===
[[Image:James's Koffing.JPG|right|thumb|[[James's Koffing]]]]
Koffing evolves into {{p|Weezing}}.
Koffing first appeared in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency]]'' as [[James]]'s Pokémon.  It evolved into [[James's Weezing|Weezing]] during ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett]]''.


[[Rico|A poacher]] had captured a bunch of Koffing in ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego]]''.
In [[Galar]], it evolves into {{rf|Galarian}} Weezing.


=In the manga=
(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]].)
==In the Pokémon Special manga==
<div style="float:center; display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap;">
Koffing is seen as one of [[Koga]]'s Pokémon. When Koga and {{Special|Green}} are ambushed by [[Agatha]]'s [[Gengar (Pokémon)|Gengar]] in [[Pokémon_Special_volume_7|Volume 7]], Koga uses Koffing's smoke to relay his tactical plan to Green without Gengar noticing.

Koffing appears as a trophy in both games.
 
====Trophy information====
'''3DS:''' ''This Poison-type Pokémon's balloon-like body is filled with toxic gases. In Smash Run, it floats over to fighters and expels gas at regular intervals. If the gas touches you, the stats you've worked so hard to build up will drop! Attack while it's deflated to take it down safely, and then help yourself to the many, many items it leaves behind.''
 
'''Wii U:''' ''A Poison-type Pokémon that looks somewhat like a blown-up balloon. As you might be able to guess, though, it's not filled with fresh air - that's poison gas, and this Pokémon isn't shy about sharing. In Smash Tour, the gas it spews will hide spaces and any items that may be on them. The smoke should disappear by the end of the turn.''

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Koffing was originally known as "Ny", representing {{wp|New York City}}'s polluted air.
* According to a question of a Pokémon Exam the characters of the {{pkmn|anime}} participated in, Koffing was supposedly first discovered in a public bathhouse. However, the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} expansion's {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Koffing|58}} card states that Koffing was first discovered in a weapons factory. This may be either because [[Jessie]] answered the question incorrectly, or due to an inconsistency between the TCG and anime.
* Koffing and {{p|Munna}} are the only Pokémon whose names are mentioned in music found in the games. Munna's name is heard in ミュージカル「メロメロ★ムンナ」 ''[[Pokémon Black 2 & Pokémon White 2: Super Music Collection|Musical "Charming Munna"]]'', while Koffing's Japanese name is heard in タチワキジム(演奏・DOGARS) ''[[Pokémon Black 2 & Pokémon White 2: Super Music Collection|Virbank Gym (Performance - KOFFING)]]'', although it is replaced with the word "Pokémon" in international releases.
** This distinction is possibly shared with {{p|Wingull}}, as its Japanese name, キャモメ ''Camome'', is arguably heard in the obscure vocals of ビレッジブリッジ ''[[Pokémon Black & Pokémon White: Super Music Collection|Village Bridge]]''.
* Koffing shares similar traits to {{p|Grimer}} and {{p|Trubbish}}. All three Pokémon are pure {{type|Poison}} Pokémon with a single evolved form, roughly the same base stat totals and evolution levels, and appear to be based on a different kind of pollution; Koffing being air pollution.
* Koffing and its evolved Kantonian form are the only Pokémon whose {{Abilities}} changed in [[Generation VIII]]. In previous [[generation]]s, their only Ability was {{a|Levitate}}.


==Evolution==
===Origin===
{| border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="margin: auto;"
Considering its looks, its ability to float, and its tendency to explode, Koffing may have been based upon a floating {{wp|naval mine}} or living {{wp|meteorite}}. It is also based on {{wp|smog}} and other forms of air pollution. Koffing may also be based on the imagined fear that heavy pollution, caused by the leakage and/or improper disposal of toxic and/or radioactive waste, may result in the creation of new and undesirable lifeforms. The symbol under its face resembles the {{wp|skull and crossbones}}, a hazard symbol for poison.

=Trivia=
*Koffing's original English name was going to be "Ny", the initials of New York.
*Koffing was depicted as having its skull-and-crossbones pattern being ''above'' its face in [[Pokémon Red and Blue]] and the Japanese [[Pokémon Blue (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]], rather than the pattern being ''under'' its face as potraied in the original versions of [[Pokémon Red and Green]] and later games. It is unknown if this was purposely done or if it was a sprite error (similar to the error of [[Raikou|Raikou's]] sprite in [[Pokémon Gold and Silver]]).
*Koffing is the favorite Pokémon of [[Pokemopolis]].
*According to a question of a Pokémon Exam the characters of the anime participate in, Koffing was supposedly first discovered in a public outhouse.
