Weezing (), known in Japan as , is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. First introduced in the video games Pokémon Red and Blue, it evolves from the Pokémon Koffing, both having the Poison type. Since Weezing's debut, it has appeared in multiple games including Pokémon Go and the Pokémon Trading Card Game, as well as media related to the franchise, including as a regular character in the TV series.

In Pokémon Sword and Shield, a new variant of Weezing are introduced as part of a form called "Galarian", referring to the region Galar featured in the game. It retains its Poison type while gaining the Fairy type, and features some design differences. Weezing has been generally well received, with the Galarian variation being especially popular due to its commentary on the United Kingdom and the environment. It has also been noted for its competitive viability, particularly due to the original form's Levitate ability and the Galarian form's Neutralizing Gas ability.
