Weezing, or Matadogasu, is the metamorphic form of Koffing. As with most all pokemon metamorphosis, the Koffing to Weezing transformation is triggered when the Weezing has obtained enough energy from battling, training, etc.
To most, it would appear that this metamorphasis is actually harmful, as aside from the standard increase in side, Weezing appears to be less functional, as he now frowns constantly and appears to be hacking on their own fumes. What's more, they now appear to have too have developed cancerous sists.
However, every one of these changes is benificial to the Weezing. First, the constant frown is actually no indication of the Weezing's emotional state, simply it's default expression. Like the skull and crossbones on its stomach, it's simply a means of warding off foes. Would you rather take your chances with the grinning face of Koffing, or the fanged, grumpy face of Weezing? Also, despite how they appear, the extra heads are not cancerous in any way, and are formed as a means of holding more poison gases.
Lastly, the hacking is not caused by its own fumes, and in fact is a means of loosening any of the Weezing's gas ducts that may have been clogged by tar, much like a snail with its slime.
A Weezing contains four times the gasses of a Koffin, and is able to expel them twice as fast. This is not true of the Weezing that are caused by the rare mutation wherein two Koffin twins fuse together.
A final note on Weezing, why are they so hated? Yes, they are commonly used by Team Rocket and other robbery groups, as their ability to release a thick fog and explose make them vluable assets, but this is a fault of people, not the pokemon. There are no truly evil pokemon.
The mian reason for the dislike of Weezing is their tendecy to go through people's garbage, much like a raccoon. And I can see how this would be annoying. Being woken in the middle of the night and having to chase away a large floating ball of gases that, at any point, could sufficate you in toxic fumes or explode. Bu here's the thing, they aren't trying to be pests. In fact, their actually helping.
Weezing due let out toxic gases, but that's simply their method of battle. When actually breathing, they take in poisonous fumes and expel clean air. That's right, that hacking, sludge spewing, ball of toxic smog is a living air purifier. Even their waste is eco friendly. When you see a group hanging around the top of a factory, don't afriad that they'll do bang and blow the whole thing up, that's only possible if they get stressed out, like when people try to shoo them off. Remember that their actually completley purifying the smoke, allowing factories to be an enviormentally friendly affair, so we can make out things and not screw up nature too much. Same goes for when they eat the trash, just another way of removing pollution from the equation.
So lay off of Weezing, their better for the planet than you are. Next time we'll be covering one protomon, and all four pokemon that it became.
