Appearances[ ]

Other Pokémon games[ ]
Super Smash Bros. series[ ]
Weezing made several appearances in the GameCube video game Super Smash Bros. Melee as a Poké Ball Pokémon, as a stage element in Poké Floats, and as an obtainable trophy. As a summonable Pokémon, Weezing will stay in place and will emit poisonous gas that will harm the summoner's opponents. The following is Weezing's trophy description in Super Smash Bros. Melee:
Trophy descriptions[ ]
- "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."
In the anime[ ]
In the Pokémon anime series, James of Team Rocket owned a Weezing that was previously a Koffing he got for Christmas. However, in the episode A Poached Ego! , he had no choice but to let Weezing go to defend a group of Ekans and Koffing from a poacher named Rico, while his comrade Jessie did the same with her Arbok, a decision that was very hard for both of them.
Galarian Weezing made several appearances in the anime.
