'''Koffing''' ({{ja|ドガース|Dogāsu}}, ''Dogars'') is a ''{{uv|Pokémon}}''.

{{pkmn|Koffing}} is a Poison-type Pokémon introduced in {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation I}}, and is categorized within the Pokédex at #109 as the "Poison Gas Pokémon". It is essentially a balloon filled with poisonous gases which it uses in battle, and is also prone to exploding. It evolves into [[Weezing]] at level 35. It is somewhat notable for being {{s|bulbapedia|James}}'s partner Pokémon in the early episodes of the Pokémon animated series, as well as being used in the games by several members of {{s|bulbapedia|Team Rocket}}.

{{iw|bulbapedia|Smog|move}} is a Poison-type move which Koffing learns at early levels: while very weak (30 base power, 20 prior to {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation VI}}) it has a 40% chance of inflicting the Poison status to the target.

{{iw|bulbapedia|Poison Gas|move}} is a Poison-type move which Koffing always knows from the start and whose only effect is inflicting the Poison status if it hits.

{{iw|bulbapedia|Smokescreen|move}} is a Normal-type move which Koffing can learn by leveling up. When successful, it lowers the target's accuracy by one stage.

Koffing attacks with Smog, releasing gas from the pores on its body. Any [[character]] but the summoner who touches the gas will take [[damage]], and, if very close to Koffing, they will be trapped until it disappears.

Koffing appears as an enemy in [[Smash Run]], behaving similar to its old role as a Poké Ball assist. It attacks with poisonous clouds which reduce the player's stats on contact.

Koffing appears as a random event in [[Smash Tour]]. It uses {{iw|bulbapedia|Smokescreen|move}}, hiding the board for one turn with a thick cloud of purple smoke.

:{{GameIcon|ssb4-3ds}}''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 will drop! Attack while it's deflated to take it down safely, and then help yourself to the many, many items it leaves behind.''

:{{GameIcon|ssb4-wiiu}}''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.''

*Koffing is one of two Poké Ball Pokémon to be replaced by a member of their evolution-line in later installments, instead of by another Pokémon that uses the same move. The other being [[Starmie]].

*When in Smash Tour, the game states "A wild Koffing appeared!", a homage to the main Pokémon games where the same message is constantly displayed.
