Drifblim (Japanese: フワライド Fuwaride) is a Ghost/Flying-type Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Drifblim seems to be a living hot air balloon. Its once black eyes are now red and set far apart. It has four limbs which may be twitched to act as rudders, while its bottom is red and looks torn. It has grooves running down the body. The puff on the top of its head seems small compared to its whole body. Like Drifloon, it has a yellow "X" on its face and (as seen in Pokémon Special) a little mouth on it.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Unlike Drifloon, Drifblim can be used for transportation, having the strength to lift people. Unfortunately, like a real hot-air balloon, it goes with the winds, and as such, you cannot control it's trajectory.

Trivia
- Its English name was originally thought to be Driftblim, but was later confirmed to be Drifblim, without the t in the name.
Origin
Drifblim is based on a hot air balloon.
Name origin
Its name is derived from drift and blimp. Drifblim's Japanese name may be derived from 付和雷同 fuwaraidō, the Japanese word meaning to follow others blindly. It could also be a combination of fuga (Latin for flight) and ride. It also may be derived from ふわふわ fuwa fuwa, meaning soft, fluffy, and light, or an onomatopoeia for floating, 風船 fūsen, balloon, and ride.
Its German name, Drifzepeli, comes from Drift and Zeppelin. Its French name, Grodrive, comes from gros and dérive.
The Korean name is a combination of fluffy (둥실, doongsil) and the word ride in English.
