#45 Weezing - Fossil (base3)

Weezing is a Grass-type Pokémon with 60 HP, featuring a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It appears in the Base set, released as part of the Fossil theme in 1999, and is numbered 45 in its series. The card’s flavor text describes how two Koffings fuse into a Weezing over many years where poison gases meet. Weezing has no resistances but is weak to Psychic-type attacks, which deal double damage. Its attacks include Smog, a Grass-energy-cost move that deals 20 damage and has a 50% chance to poison the defending Pokémon, and Selfdestruct, a more powerful Grass-and-Colorless-energy move that deals 60 damage while also harming all Benched Pokémon. The latter also inflicts 60 damage to itself, making it a high-risk, high-reward option. The card’s artwork is credited to artist Mitsuhiro Arita, and it carries an uncommon rarity rating. Weezing’s design emphasizes its role as a fusion of two Koffings, reflecting its unique evolutionary background.
