Strategy Overview
The mascot of Smogon, Koffing continues to be a great help to many teams. With a high Defense stat and Poison typing, Koffing reliably walls some of the powerful physically attacking Pokemon in the metagame. Not only does it take little damage from Fighting-types, it also gets Levitate, meaning that it is immune to one of its would-be weaknesses. This leaves it weak to only one type, the uncommon Psychic-type. However, Koffing is extremely slow and lacks any strong offensive power. Also, despite its incredible physical bulk, Koffing is susceptible to most special attackers.
