Koffing and Weezing are some of the first poison type Pokemon fans were introduced to. Weezing can literally pump poison gases out of its body. It is a top notch physical tank and wall and has been for some time. Don't use Team Rocket as the example for how to utilize this creature properly. Weezing deserves much better.

These two go hand in hand. Their starts are near-identical and that is why they both receive the top spot. In Generation 1, these two were the peak of the mountain for poison types.
