Drifloon Line

#425, #426

Drifloon evolves into Drifblim when it reaches level 28. In Pokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum Versions, Drifloon stood out in the sense that it was a Pokemon that you could interact with in the overworld (similar to legendary Pokemon). It would appear at the Valley Windworks every Friday during daytime. Drifblim is interesting because has a base of 150 for its HP stat, putting it in fifth place (tied with Giratina and Slaking) for Pokemon with the most HP. Although it is in the Underused tier, it still has some potential to set up Substitutes due to its enormous HP and numerous resistances.

For the first several years of my life, my favorite color was purple. I also enjoyed playing with balloons and watch them float away after letting go of them. Now that I've told you that, is it really such a surprise that I like Drifloon and Drifblim? I am also extremely amused by Drifloon's Pearl Version PokeDex entry, which says, "It tugs on the hands of children to steal them away. However, it gets pulled around instead."
