Drifloon (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

}}

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Drifblim}} starting at [[level]] 28.

==Biology==

Due to its aimless drifting, this species is known as "Signpost for Wandering Spirits". It has been known to steal children that mistake it for a regular balloon. However, due to its light weight, it can be resisted easily and is often pulled around. Although created by lost spirits of Pokémon and people, [[DP028|as seen in the anime]], it can be friendly and helpful. It prefers to reside in damp, humid locations and can expand or shrink to express its feelings.

''"A Balloon Pokémon that appears each Friday at the Valley Windworks in the Sinnoh region. It's round and cute, but it has a dreadful side too, as it attempts to drag children into the underworld by their hands. It likes damp, humid seasons. If it's on the verge of fainting in battle, it will counterattack by self-destructing. It evolves into Drifblim."''
