Drifloon (Japanese: フワンテ Fuwante) is a dual-type Ghost/Flying Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.
It evolves into Drifblim starting at level 28.
Biology
Drifloon has a spherical, purple body with two stringy arms that have yellow, heart-shaped hands on the ends of them. At the base of its body is a frayed protrusion that resembles the tied end of a balloon. In the very center of its body is a yellow tape-like "X", which contains its small mouth in the very center. Located on either side of the "X" are its small, black eyes. A white mass of fluff that resembles a cloud sits on top of Drifloon's head.
Driifloon are created from many souls gathering together. Due to its aimless drifting, this species is known as "Signpost for Wandering Spirits". Drifloon seeks out children due to it desiring company. It has been known to steal children that mistake it for a regular balloon. However it dislikes stealing heavy children. Drifloon's round body expands from the souls it collects. When the body explodes, the soul unleashes a screeching sound. However, due to its light weight, it can be resisted easily and is often pulled around. This results in Drifloon running away from any children that is rough with it. Although created by lost spirits of Pokémon and people, 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.

Trivia
- Drifloon was the first Generation IV Pokémon to be shown in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
- In the Japanese version of Pearl's Pokédex entry, Drifloon specifically takes children to the "world of the dead" (Japanese: あのよ), instead of just trying to "steal them away" as in the English version. However, in release of Super Smash Bros. Brawl in the United States, the description along with Drifloon's trophy still states that it is "taking children to the underworld".
- Drifloon shares its category with Igglybuff, Jigglypuff, Wigglytuff, and Qwilfish. They are all known as the Balloon Pokémon.
- Drifloon and its evolved form are the only Pokémon not introduced in Generation III to be found in the Fluctuating Experience Group.
- They are also the only Flying-type Pokémon and the only Ghost-type Pokémon in the Fluctuating Experience Group.
Origin
Drifloon are based on balloons. They also resemble comb jellies, specifically tentaculata.
Name origin
Drifloon is a combination of drift and balloon.
Fuwante may be a combination of ふわふわ fuwa fuwa (soft, airy and light, or an onomatopoeia for floating), 風船 fūsen (balloon), and 不安定 fuantei (unstable).
