Drifloon is known for its eerie yet melancholic nature, often depicted as a guide for wandering spirits or, more disturbingly, a Pokémon that tries to kidnap children. Its Pokédex entries consistently highlight this unsettling behavior, stating that it "drifts with the wind, carrying children away who mistake it for a balloon." Despite its ominous lore, Drifloon’s design is often considered cute, contributing to its popularity. In the games, Drifloon often appears in specific locations on certain days, making it a somewhat elusive encounter. In the anime, Drifloon has made several appearances, often showcasing its ability to float and its connection to the spirit world. Its unique type combination gives it immunities to Normal, Fighting, and Ground-type attacks in the video games, while being weak to Rock, Ghost, Electric, Ice, and Dark. Its distinct role in the Pokémon world, blending cuteness with a touch of the macabre, solidifies its place as a memorable Pokémon.
