Koffing (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

}}

'''Koffing''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドガース''' ''Dogars'') is a {{type|Poison}} Pokémon.

==Biology==

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 it. 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. Koffing is most often found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas.}}

==In the anime==

Koffing first appeared in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' as [[James]]'s Pokémon. It evolved into {{p|Weezing}} during ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]''.

[[Rico|A poacher]] had captured a bunch of Koffing in ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego!]]''.

A Koffing appeared in ''[[BW083|Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 1]]'' under the ownership of [[Roxie]].

A Koffing made a brief cameo appearance in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' and ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.
