A Pokemon fan creates an impressive rug based on Weezing, one of the most recognizable Generation 1 Pokemon from the classic Game Boy titles. Although Weezing is missing from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, Koffing and Weezing remain popular as two of the most beloved creatures in the long-running Pokemon franchise.
Weezing is a Poison-type Pokemon that evolved from Koffing at level 35 or higher. Pokemon GO players may evolve Koffing into Weezing by feeding it 50 Candies. Weezing received a special Galar regional form in Pokemon Sword and Shield, allowing it to become a Poison and Fairy dual-type Pokemon after its evolution from Koffing. Pokemon GO featured Galarian Weezing during a limited-time event in November 2019 as well. Official lore by The Pokemon Company states that the Galar form is a result of pollution caused by the region's great factories.
Pokemon fan VideTextilStudio recently manufactured a stunning Weezing rug for a commission and promoted the finished product to fans in the active online community. The user created original concept art for Weezing before preparing and processing textile materials for the commissioned rug. The concept art is slightly different compared to Weezing's official artwork since the coloring of the Pokemon's gas is brown instead of a greener mustard color. Additionally, Weezing's skull and crossbones symbol uses a darker cream color instead of white. Weezing's body maintains its recognizable purple color in the rug, however.
VideTextilStudio had doubts about the background color due to subtle coloring changes between the concept art and the rug's actual fabric. The user is still pleased with the final product, and several Pokemon fans are already interested in buying the Weezing rug from VideTextilStudio's online shop. Each rug is fully handcrafted by VideTextilStudio in Spain, so the user is open to making rugs in different sizes for commissions and requests. Further, VideTextilStudio's shop lists rugs for other popular Generation 1 Pokemon such as Pikachu and Charmander.
The new rug is an incredible showcase of VideTextilStudio's textile skills and a worthy tribute to Weezing. Although the rug is not entirely faithful to The Pokemon Company's original Weezing design, the colors and fabrics blend well to create a unique rendition of Weezing.
Weezing may not be available in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet right now, but the Pokemon could potentially make its return in the upcoming Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC. The new Pokemon Presents presentation will likely reveal more details about the upcoming Pokemon Scarlet and Violet DLC alongside updates for other Pokemon titles on August 8.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are available now for Nintendo Switch.
