Koffing is actually probably the best Pokemon design. It's extremely simple, but nonetheless successfully combines a number of different ideas.
>Naval mines>Balloons>Air pollutionIn the lore, Koffing is a by-product of factories, drifts around and eventually exploding when it hits something hard enough.
What do mines do? Float in water and explode. What do balloons do? Float in air and pop. Air pollution comes from factories and damages the surrounding landscape and is hazardous.
Balloons are filled with a gas to keep them afloat. Mines are filled with explosives so they can detonate on contact. Air pollution comes from toxic gasses. Koffing is filled with volatile toxic gasses which it uses to float.
Koffing manages to pull all this together while basically being a circle with a smiley face. It's incredible how dense it is thematically. I think Weezing is kind of a lazy evolution, but it keeps the same things while being "just bigger".
Galarian Weezing is basically none of these things. It's just a doodle on top of an existing design, hardly more than a defacement.
