Drifloon is a Ghost/Flying-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV. Known as the Balloon Pokémon, it is often depicted as a small, purple, spherical creature with two stubby arms and a yellow, heart-shaped tail. Its body is topped with a cloud-like puff. Drifloon evolves into Drifblim starting at Level 28. In the Pokémon world, Drifloon are known for their eerie yet playful nature, often drifting around in groups and being carried by the wind. They are said to enjoy pulling children away, sometimes disappearing with them, which gives them a somewhat ominous reputation despite their cute appearance. This lore is a significant part of their cultural impact, making them a memorable addition to the Ghost-type roster. They are found in places like Valley Windworks and Eterna Forest in the Sinnoh region. Their unique type combination makes them resistant to Ground and Bug-type moves, and immune to Normal and Fighting-type moves, but weak to Rock, Ghost, Electric, Ice, and Dark.
