==Anime==
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.
==Crossover appearances==
===Super Smash Bros. series===
====Super Smash Bros.====
In Super Smash Bros., Koffing is a Poké Ball Pokémon that, if summoned, uses Poison Gas, continuously damaging any opponents within range. An opponent can also be damaged from touching a Koffing.
====Super Smash Bros. Melee====
Koffing does not return in Super Smash Bros. Melee, in favor of Weezing being a Poké Ball Pokémon instead, but it is mentioned in the description of the Weezing trophy.
====Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS====
Koffings are enemies in the Smash Run mode of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. Here, after Koffing inflates itself for a while, it releases Poison Gas, which damages the player's fighter while lowering stats. If the Koffing is defeated, the stats are automatically restored without having to be collected.
There is a collectible trophy of Koffing, like with the other enemies in Smash Run mode. It is obtained as a random drop in one of the single-player modes.
====Super Smash Bros. for Wii U====
In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Koffing is an item in Smash Tour mode. When used, Koffing uses Smokescreen to hide the board with a thick cloud of purple smoke for one turn.
A different trophy of Koffing appears, although Koffing is depicted with the same pose as in its trophy in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. The Koffing trophy now has a specific unlock criteria of having to complete the true Solo All-Star mode within six minutes as Jigglypuff.
