Read more ↓Drifloon, known as the Balloon Pokémon, is a Ghost and Flying-type creature first introduced in Generation IV. Its Pokédex entries often highlight its somewhat melancholic and mysterious nature. Drifloon are said to be formed from the spirits of people and Pokémon, drifting aimlessly through the air. They are known to enjoy damp, humid seasons and often appear in groups, bobbing together in the wind. Despite their cute and balloon-like appearance, Drifloon are often depicted as having a sinister side, sometimes attempting to carry off children or people who mistake them for actual balloons. However, they are also easily swayed by the wind, making their attempts mostly harmless. Drifloon evolves into Drifblim, a larger, blimp-like Pokémon, at level 28. In the games, Drifloon are frequently found in specific locations like the Valley Windworks on Fridays, adding to their elusive charm. As a Ghost/Flying type, Drifloon has unique type matchups, being immune to Normal and Fighting-type attacks, and weak to Ghost, Dark, Rock, Electric, and Ice-type moves. Its role in the anime often involves lighthearted mischief or serving as a gentle, guiding presence. Drifloon's cultural significance lies in its blend of cute design with a slightly eerie backstory, making it a memorable and beloved Pokémon among fans.
