Koffing is a spelling variant of coughing, one of the reactions experienced when in proximity of Koffing's noxious gases.

The Japanese name uses the English loanword "gas" (which is used by Japanese to refer to both gasoline and the state of matter), with the prefix "do" meaning "bad" or "poisonous". The US beta version of the game, as well as promotional materials and copies of the first few episodes of the Pokemon anime, used the name "NY" (referring to New York as a polluted region).^{[citation needed]} This article is about the state. ...

Biological characteristics

Koffing resembles a purple floating sphere with large pores over its surface that release poisonous gas. These pores also make it resemble a naval mine. It has two eyes, a vacant, blissful expression and a skull and crossbones pattern (the universal symbol for poison) on its stomach. In Pokemon Red and Blue, however, this symbol appears on its forehead. Polish wz. ... EU standard toxic symbol, as defined by Directive 67/548/EEC. The traditional Jolly Roger of Piracy. ...

Koffing's thin, filmy and transparent skin stores a collection of highly toxic gases that swirl in its insides. These gases have a density slightly less than that of air, allowing Koffing to float and hover above ground like a hot-air balloon. Transparent glass ball In optics, transparency is the property of allowing light to pass. ... Toxic redirects here, but this is also the name of a song by Britney Spears; see Toxic (song) Look up toxic and toxicity in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ... For other uses, see Density (disambiguation). ...

Koffing concocts its internal gases and increases their toxicity by mixing raw garbage, setting off complex chemical reactions whose rate and products are proportional to the area temperature. If the temperature rises too high, however, there is a chance that the pressure exercised by the gases on Koffing's body will become too great, causing it to expand and finally explode. However, it can seemingly reform itself once blown up. For other uses, see Waste (disambiguation). ...

Koffing can also make itself explode at will if sufficiently provoked by overinflating itself. While this behavior is also shared by Voltorb and Electrode, Koffing is not known to explode as frequently and unpredictably. Voltorb Biriridama in original Japanese language versions) is one of 493 fictional species of the Pokémon franchise. ... Electrode , Marumine in original Japanese language versions) is one of 493 fictional species from the Pokémon franchise. ...

Besides self-destruction, Koffing can employ less dramatic defensive measures. It can expel its gases to the surrounding area through pores on its surface. The vile gases can cause coughs, tears, poisoning or suffocation, in all cases potentially incapacitating Koffing's foes and shielding it from attack.

In the Pokémon video games

Koffing is a fairly common wild Pokémon in the locations where it can be found and captured. In Pokémon Red and Blue, Koffing is found in Cinnabar Island's run-down Pokémon Mansion. In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, it can additionally be found floating over the ponds of Celadon City. In Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal, it can be found in the Burned Tower and in Team Rocket's hideout in Mahogany Town. In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald Koffing is found in the Fiery Path.

It is interesting to note that in Pokemon Red and Blue versions, Koffing's sprite placed its skull-and-crossbones marking above its mouth and eyes, but in later versions, the marking was below its face.

Koffing's defense stat is very good, but the rest of its attributes are low or average. One useful strategy for Koffing is to poison the opponent and prevent them from attacking by using accuracy-lowering moves. Koffing's Levitate ability gives it an immunity to Ground-type attacks, a type against which Koffing is normally weak.

Koffing has a cameo in the Nintendo platform-fighting game Super Smash Bros. as one of roughly 15 Pokémon which may emerge from thrown Poké Balls, often juggling opponents with its damaging Smog attack.
