Weezing first appeared in the first generation of Pokémon games (the first games of which include Pokémon Red and Green in Japan and Pokémon Red and Blue elsewhere). Weezing evolves from Koffing when that Pokémon reaches level 35. Weezing is different from Koffing by being larger and having an extra, smaller head. Weezing can be obtainable in every single Pokémon game, and can be caught in the wild in the first generation games, Pokémon Crystal, Pokémon FireRed, Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, Pokémon Platinum and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. In other games it can be obtainable by receiving one through a trade or by leveling up Koffing. Weezing was the principal species in the anime episode James' Weezing.
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."
Weezing loves the gases given off by rotted kitchen garbage. This Pokémon will find a dirty, unkept house and make it its home. At night, when the people in the house are asleep, it will go through the trash.
Weezing alternately shrinks and inflates its twin bodies to mix together toxic gases inside. The more the gases are mixed, the more powerful the toxins become. The Pokémon also becomes more putrid.
By diluting its toxic gases with a special process, the highest grade of perfume can be extracted. To Weezing, gases emanating from garbage are the ultimate feast.
