Weezing

() is a -type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. It has a /-type Galarian Form introduced in Generation VIII.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Weezing is a much more bulky and large version of its pre-evolved form Koffing. After evolving from Koffing, Weezing gains a secondary (although smaller) head. The larger primary head has two fang-like teeth protruding from its lower mouth and two flat teeth protruding from its upper mouth, as well as a skull and crossbones marking. The smaller head has a simple frown and a circular marking. Weezing also has multiple pores surrounding its body that releases poisonous gases.
A Galarian Weezing is much different than a Kantonian Weezing. It has a gray body with green smog clouds radiating from its mouth, which gives it the appearance of facial hair; the larger head has a mustache while the smaller head has a beard and eyebrows. It also has a tall smoke stack on both heads, which resembles a top hat, with light-gray smoke clouds. The skull and crossbones on the larger head now has a golden tint, which is also applied to the circular marking on the smaller head. Unlike its Kantonian counterpart, both heads of a Galarian Weezing have their mouths open.
===Behavior===
====Kantonian form====
Weezing is formed from a fusion of toxic gases and two Koffings for many years. Because of the constant mixtures of poison gases within its body, Weezing always emit foul-smelling odors. Just like its pre-evolved form, Weezing is able to hover in the air. Despite smelling horrible, the gases that Weezing creates have been used for perfumes.
Weezing is fond of garbage and other sources of pollution; it is mainly nocturnal, always looking for trash from a human's house.
The gases produced from a Kantonian Weezing is much more potent than the gases from a Galarian Weezing.
====Galarian Form====
Galarian Weezing relies on poisonous gases to sustain itself. Unlike its Kantonian counterpart, Galarian Weezing emits clean purified air rather than pollution. This process is done through the absorption of lingering air pollutants.
The toxins Galarian Weezing stores inside its body are released into the air as concentrated poisonous gas, which is so lethal that a mere whiff will immobilize anyone caught in its vicinity. This toxic gas is apparently Galarian Weezing's best weapon to use in battle.
Long ago, when the Galar region was filled with toxic pollution emitted from groups of factories, Galarian Weezing mysteriously changed form.
==Evolution==
Weezing is the evolved form of Koffing as of level 35.

===In Anime===
A Weezing first appeared under the ownership of James as a Koffing. It was mostly used to flee from the field by using Weezing's Smokescreen. James left it in A Poached Ego to protect Koffing and Ekans.
==Trivia==
*Weezing is much heavier than its pre-evolution, Koffing.
*While two Koffing are said to fuse into Weezing, the anime and games simply have a single Koffing evolve into Weezing.
*In Super Smash Bros., Weezing is one of the Pokémon that can be freed from Poké Balls. During this time, it uses the move Smog.
*It shares similarities with Muk and Garbodor. All are pure type Pokémon with two-stage evolutionary lines. All also represent a type of pollution, with Weezing being air pollution. All three also have alternate forms (Muk and Weezing having regional forms while Garbodor has a Gigantamax form).
===Origin===
Weezing is based on air pollution and smog. Due to its appearance and behavior, it resembles a cloud or a naval mine due to its tendency to explode. The tumor-like growth of its second head may be a reference to how pollution can cause cancer and mutations. It also resembles the ball-and-stick model of a water molecule (albeit with inaccurate proportions, as the ball on the bottom, where the large oxygen atom would be, is the smallest). This is likely a tongue-in cheek jab towards people who only use the term "chemicals" to refer to harmful substances despite the fact that all matter (even relatively harmless substances like water) are chemicals.
Galarian Weezing's appearance (dark-gray body, smog gas resembling facial hair, and top hat-like smoke stacks) is reminiscent of photographs of wealthy men of Victorian-era England. It shares some aspects of a stone chimney (a common architectural feature in Victorian-era England), as well as air purifiers. It might also be inspired by the factories in England during the Industrial Revolution. Galarian Weezing's type may allude to how most fae creatures are able to purify lethal toxins, which also explains why Galarian Weezing is able to convert toxic gases into clean gases.
===Etymology===
Weezing is a misspelling of the word wheezing.
Matadogasu comes from 又 (mata, "again" in Japanese) and Dogāsu, Koffing's Japanese name.
