In Gold, Silver, Crystal, and their remakes HeartGold and SoulSilver, he states:
In FireRed and LeafGreen, he states:
Despite this, the only game in the series where Koga's main team uses any Sleep-inducing moves is Yellow, where two of his Venonats have Sleep Powder. In contrast, every one of Koga's teams has incorporated Poisoning moves, with some of his teams being entirely composed of Pokémon using such moves. Although possibly a mistake, this might also tie into the theme of misdirection, which would be fitting for the ninja-themed Fuchsia Gym.
"You shall feel the despair of poison and sleep techniques!"
In Gold, Silver, Crystal, and their remakes HeartGold and SoulSilver, he states:
"Confusion, sleep, poison... Prepare to be the victim of my sinister technique!"
In FireRed and LeafGreen, he states:
"Poison brings steady doom. Sleep renders foes helpless."
