Weezing (マタドガス, Matadogasu, Matadogas in original Japanese language versions) is a fictional creature in the Pokémon media franchise.

Creature Description

Weezing is a moderately large, purple mutated set of spheres with faces and the evolved form of Koffing. Pokédex entries throughout the RPG series claim that it forms on rare occasions when two Koffing twins fuse into a Weezing over many years, and their two kinds of poison gases meet. Even rarer have been Weezing formed by triplets. It loves the gases given off by rotted kitchen garbage and will find a dirty, unkept house to make its home. At night, when the people in the house are asleep, it will go through the trash to feed on dust, germs, and gases released by the garbage. When it inhales poisonous gases from garbage, its body expands, and its insides smell much worse. When one of the twins inflates, the other one deflates. The twins on Weezing constantly mix poisonous gases by alternately inflating and shrinking their bodies in this fashion, and the toxins become more powerful and smell more putrid if more gases are mixed inside it. Interestingly, diluting its toxic gases to the highest level through a special process allows a top-grade perfume to be extracted.

In general, it is known that it is far less likely to spontaneously explode than Koffing because it contains poisonous liquids within itself instead of gases.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee

Weezing appears in the Ice Climber's artwork if a player completes Classic Mode as those characters. Other than that, it has the following gameplay-important roles:

As a Poké Ball Pokémon

Weezing uses Poison Gas as its attack. (Similar to Koffing's attack in Super Smash Brothers.) A cloud of gas will come out of the holes in Weezing. Any character that makes contact with the Poison Gas will take damage. If a character is stuck in the center of Weezing's attack, then they will also take damage continuously. Weezing's attack does not harm the summoner.

As a Stage Element

A giant balloon of Weezing (in actuality, the 3D model of Weezing used in Pokémon Stadium for Nintendo 64) is one of the many floating and bending "platforms" that comprise the Poké Floats stage. The balloon starts out big and actually decreases in size over time.

As a Trophy

Weezing features as a collectible trophy, unlocked as one of the 100+ trophies that can be collected randomly during normal play, such as in the Trophy Lottery and throughout the various Single-player Regular Matches. It reads as follows:

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. (Pokemon Red & Blue 9/98)
