Sprites[]
Appearances[]
Koffing first appeared in the anime in Pokemon Emergency as James' Pokémon. It was extremely loyal to him, so much that it evolved into Weezing in Dig Those Diglett.
A group of wild Koffing appeared in A Poached Ego, where they were captured by a poacher along with a group of Ekans. They were rescued by Team Rocket, who were forced to release Jessie's Arbok and James' Weezing in the wild with them.
Trivia[]
- Despite Koffing's diet of rotten kitchen garbage, it is unable to learn Gunk Shot, which the description of the move says that the user shoots filthy garbage at the foe.
- Koffing is one of three Pokemon based on forms of environmental pollution, with the other two being Grimer and Trubbish (and their evolutions).
- Koffing is the mascot of Smogon, an internet resource handling and analyzing competitive Pokemon battling. Coincidentally, Smogon is its German name.
- Koffing also lends its Japanese name to Dogasu’s backpack, a fan site for the anime.
- Koffing's Japanese name (DOGARS) is sung in the background of Roxie's Gym in the Japanese version of Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2, while in the international versions "Pokémon" is sung instead.
- In Pokémon Red and Blue, Koffing's skull and crossbones on its body appear above its face, rather than below its face as it currently does.
- Koffing and Weezing from Pokémon were originally named Ny and La, referencing the polluted cities of New York & Los Angeles.
- Koffing is one of the 16 Pokemon to be made into a puppet in Japan.
- In Super Smash Bros., Koffing is one of the Pokémon that can be freed from Poké Balls. During this time, it uses the move Smog.
- The Ben 10 Omniverse transformation Gutrot is inspired by Koffing, as the former’s head resembles the latter’s body, and both have the ability to mix chemicals together to make gases.
- Ultimate Gravattack from the same show has 3 levitating planetoids that resemble Koffing.
Origin[]
Koffing resembles a cloud, naval mine, or smoke bomb. It mostly is a physical representation of air pollution.
Etymology[]
Koffing comes from "coughing."
Dogāsu is a portmanteau of 毒 (doku, poison) and "gas."
Names in other languages[]
- English, Italian and Spanish: Koffing
- French: : Smogo
- German: : Smogon
- Swedish: Hostank
- Chinese:: 瓦斯弹(Simplified)/瓦斯彈(Traditional)/毒氣丸(HK)
- Korean:: 또가스
