Koffing establishes itself as an excellent physical tank in Little Cup due to its high base Defense stat and Poison typing, which let it check physical attackers like Mienfoo and Timburr. Koffing's best use comes from its ability Neutralizing Gas, which has useful applications, such as denying Mienfoo and Foongus recovery from Regenerator, preventing Snivy from gaining a Special Attack boost from Leaf Storm with Contrary, and denying Hisuian Growlithe the ability to avoid recoil from Head Smash and Flare Blitz. Thunderbolt gives Koffing an option to hit Vullaby and Mareanie for super effective damage. Will-O-Wisp can weaken physical attackers that may switch into Koffing such as Mudbray and Trapinch. Pain Split is Koffing's only good option to recover any damage it takes. Fire Blast can be used over Will-O-Wisp or Pain Split to hit Steel-types and Foongus super effectively. Koffing's EV spread allows it to leverage its already high Defense stat and boost its attacks, letting it 2HKO Pokemon like Foongus with Sludge Bomb if its Eviolite is removed. Koffing uses Tera Water, as it's a generally good defensive type, and it additionally lets Koffing take minimal damage from Shellder's Icicle Spear.

Teammates that appreciate Koffing's presence include Mudbray, as Koffing can check Snivy, which can come in easily against Mudbray. Pawniard also makes use of Koffing's ability to deny Mienfoo's Regenerator, making it easier to remove it for Pawniard. Koffing struggles against Glimmet and Hisuian Growlithe, as neither are threatened by any of Koffing's attacks. Mudbray is a good teammate, as it can switch in to both Pokemon and scare them out with Earthquake. Additionally, Gothita can assist Koffing with Glimmet due to Shadow Tag, letting it trap Glimmet for Koffing.
