Evolution:
- Galarian Weezing evolves from Koffing starting at level 35. It does not evolve into any other form.
Interesting Facts:
- Galarian Weezing's design is a nod to the industrial revolution and the pollution issues it created, symbolizing both the problem and the solution.
- Its Neutralizing Gas ability is unique and can fundamentally alter the dynamics of a battle by nullifying other Pokémon's abilities.
