Lore
Koffing are believed to mix toxins in its body with raw garbage to produce poisonous gas. However, they are found as commonly in area with high volcanic activities as in industrial area, as they seems to be attracted to volatile gases of all sorts. In Kanto however, there were sightings of an alternate pattern of Koffing, although it is not known if it is just a random mutation or an indication of a subspecies of Koffing.

Note
Inspiration from the Japanese Gen I Games, in which the sprite used has Koffing's skull pattern on it's forehead instead of belly.

I think we can consider this as a regional difference if we want to overlook that this is an artist error. Maybe treat it as a critically endangered subspecies, with encounter rate like Shiny Pokémon. I don't see a change in base stats is necessary as well.
