Weezing is a spelling variant of wheezing. 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", and also applies the prefix "mata" (roughly "more"). 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 "LA" (an in-joke referencing Los Angeles).^{[citation needed]} Flag Seal Nickname: City of Angels Location Location within Los Angeles County in the state of California Coordinates , Government State County California Los Angeles County Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa (D) Geographical characteristics Area     City 1,290. ...

Biology

Weezing is formed when 2 Koffing bond together in a pool of poisonous gases and liquids. Weezing is a sponge for pollution, feeding on toxic fumes, germs and dust. Though they thrive in toxic waste and garbage dumps, most Weezing prefer to live in the area of active volcanoes because the volcanoes are constantly smoking. The gas it emits from its mouth and crater-like pores has a horrid and pungent odor. It is more solid and tough than Koffing, because unlike Koffing it is liquid-based and not gas-based. This allows it to use attacks such as Sludge. Weezing's appearance is opposite of Koffing's. It has a pessimistic look on its face and has fangs that protrude from the lower jaw. Weezing has two heads, one much smaller than the other. The markings underneath the mouth of the smaller head differ from that of both the larger head and of Koffing.

The 2 fused Koffing share their gases. The heads will inflate and deflate until the gases are shared and mixed. If problems occur in the gas-mixing process, the Weezing can explode. Weezing requires a strong hide in order to produce internal gases. Koffing , Dogarse in original Japanese language versions) is a fictional character of the Pokémon franchise. ...

Despite the putrid source of its equally putrid gases, high-priced perfume can be made from Weezing's internal gases by heavily diluting them.

Humans are warned of Weezing's dangerously toxic gases and putrid stench by the skull-and-crossbones symbol on its hard layer of skin.

In the video games

Koffing evolves into Weezing at level 35, and Weezing is also seen in the wild occasionally.

Weezing was considered one of the more useful Poison Type of the First Generation (Red/Blue/Yellow games) thanks mostly to its high defense rating. With the introduction of Pokemon Abilities (special traits that each Pokémon possess) in the Third Generation, Weezing lost its weakness to Ground Pokémon thanks to its ability Levitate. This leaves Weezing with a weakness to only Psychic-types. // Pokémon types are special attributes, based partly on, and expanded from, the Classical elements, which determine the strengths and weaknesses of different Pokémon species. ... // Pokémon types are special attributes, based partly on, and expanded from, the Classical elements, which determine the strengths and weaknesses of different Pokémon species. ...
