DrifloonUnified Minds #80 Pokémon Card

Drifloon, the Balloon Pokémon, is a dual Ghost/Flying-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV. This enigmatic creature is known for its peculiar behavior and unsettling Pokédex entries, which often depict it as a gentle but potentially dangerous entity. Drifloon's natural habitat includes grassy fields and cemeteries, where it is often seen drifting aimlessly, carried by the wind. Its diet is not explicitly stated, but its Pokédex entries suggest it absorbs the souls of children, though this is often portrayed in a whimsical rather than malicious light in the games. Drifloon evolves into Drifblim starting at level 27. In the games, its unique typing provides it with several immunities (Normal, Fighting, Ground) but also notable weaknesses to Ghost, Dark, Electric, Ice, and Rock types. Drifloon has made numerous appearances in the Pokémon anime, often depicted as playful but mischievous, sometimes leading characters astray. Culturally, Drifloon represents the lighter, more ethereal side of Ghost-type Pokémon, often serving as a gateway for younger players to encounter the spooky aspects of the Pokémon world without being overly frightening. Its design, resembling a purple balloon with tiny arms and a cloud-like head, contributes to its endearing yet eerie charm.
