Pokédex entries
Red Blue | Because it stores several kinds of toxic gases in its body, it is prone to exploding without warning. |
---|---|
Yellow | In hot places, its internal gases could expand and explode without any warning. Be very careful! |
Gold | Its thin, filmy body is filled with gases that cause constant sniffles, coughs and teary eyes. |
Silver | The poisonous gases it contains are a little bit lighter than air, keeping it slightly airborne. |
Crystal | If one gets close enough to it when it expels poisonous gas, the gas swirling inside it can be seen. |
Ruby | If KOFFING becomes agitated, it raises the toxicity of its internal gases and jets them out from all over its body. This POKéMON may also overinflate its round body, then explode. |
Sapphire | KOFFING embodies toxic substances. It mixes the toxins with raw garbage to set off a chemical reaction that results in a terribly powerful poison gas. The higher the temperature, the more gas is concocted by this POKéMON. |
FireRed | Its thin, balloon-like body is inflated by horribly toxic gases. It reeks when it is nearby. |
LeafGreen | Because it stores several kinds of toxic gases in its body, it is prone to exploding without warning. |
Emerald | Getting up close to a KOFFING will give you a chance to observe, through its thin skin, the toxic gases swirling inside. It blows up at the slightest stimulation. |
