Drifblim (Japanese: フワライド Fuwaride) is a dual-type Ghost/Flying Pokémon.

It evolves from Drifloon starting at level 28.

Biology

Driftblim has a large, spherical, purple body with the lower quarter of its body being a lighter purple. The colors are separated by a repeated semicircle pattern all around its body. On the top of its head is a puffy, white mass, which closely resembles a cloud. In the center of its body is a large yellow "X" and on either side, just above the "X" are its small, red eyes. On the lower portion of its body are four long, thin arms that diagonally in four different directions. Its arms are tipped with yellow and have three short points each. The bottom of its body narrows into a short, red extrusion that fans slightly outward.

Driftblim is strong enough to lift Pokémon or people, but has no control over its flight. This causes it to drift with the wind and end up anywhere. It can, however, inflate and deflate itself with gas to control its altitude. It is rarely active during the day, but usually gathers in groups during evenings. When noticed, the groups will suddenly vanish to unknown locations.

In the anime

Drifblim in the anime

Major appearances

Fantina's Drifblim

Drifblim's debut appearance in the anime was in Playing The Leveling Field! under the ownership of Fantina. It evolved from Drifloon in the episode during its battle with Ash's Pikachu. It appeared again in A Shield with a Twist! where it defeated Ash's Pikachu and Buizel, but lost to Chimchar.

Other

It first appeared in the movie The Rise of Darkrai, where it floated around Alamos Town, scouting for Tonio.

One also appeared in Meloetta's Moonlight Serenade.

Multiple Drifblim appeared in Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!.

Minor appearances

Pokédex entries

Episode Pokémon Source Entry
DP093 Drifblim Dawn's Pokédex Drifblim, the Blimp Pokémon and the evolved form of Drifloon. Because it travels on wind currents, Drifblim's movements are unusual and unpredictable.

In the manga

In the Phantom Thief Pokémon 7 manga

The titular Phantom Thief, Hiori, uses a Drifblim primarily for aerial transportation. It is not seen battling much, but can hold its own when it needs to.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Main article: Fantina's Drifblim

When Diamond, Pearl and Platinum were in Hearthome City, Fantina used her Drifblim to throw off some women who were obstructing the trio for being rookies in Contests who didn't deserve to compete, an attitude that carried over even after Platinum won the Contest, to which Fantina responded by dropping them in a trash chute. A few more volumes down the line, Fantina's Drifblim appeared again in Celestic Town, where it saved Diamond and Pearl from a deadly fall, and carried them over to Hearthome City, where she would use it in a Gym match against Platinum. Its Ominous Wind seemed to give it the upper hand at first against Platinum's Empoleon, but the girl then revealed that she took advantage of this gust of wind to send off her Blizzard, fainting it.

After Platinum managed to defeat Fantina with Lax, she then lent her Drifblim to Platinum for her to go to Canalave City and rescue her father.

In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga

Main article: Fantina's Drifblim

Fantina's Drifblim also makes a minor appearance in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!, fighting alongside its Trainer and the other Gym Leaders against an army of Galactic Grunts.

Drifblim also appeared as a member of Flint's team. Drifblim was used to finish off Hareta's Misdreavus, but was surprised when Misdreavus used Skill Swap to acquire Drifblim's Aftermath Ability, causing Drifblim to be taken down with the other Ghost-type Pokémon.
