The fact that the Drowzee line has naturally learned Poison Gas for its entire existence has always struck me as odd, and the fact that (as far as I'm aware) this has never been explained or elaborated on feels like a missed opportunity to me. A Psychic/Poison evolution that has learned to use Dream Mist like incense in battle could be interesting, with a design that incorporates elements of medieval plague doctors and old-school orthodox priest garb, with the pendulum replaced with a thurible.
