Collector Insights

Koffing is a Grass-type Pokémon with 50 HP. It requires one Colorless Energy to retreat and has a Grass-type attack named Foul Gas. The attack costs two Grass Energy and deals 10 damage, flipping a coin to apply either Poison or Confusion to the defending Pokémon. Koffing’s flavor text describes its tendency to store toxic gases, making it prone to unexpected explosions. The card is part of the Base set, released in January 1999, and is classified as a Common rarity. Artist Mitsuhiro Arita designed the illustration, and the card’s theme emphasizes its volatile, gas-filled nature. Its weakness to Psychic-type attacks at double power is noted in the card’s attributes.

Because it stores several kinds of toxic gases in its body, it is prone to exploding without warning.
