Drifblim (Japanese: フワライド Fuwaride) is a dual-type Ghost/Flying Pokémon.
It evolves from Drifloon starting at level 28.
Biology
Physiology
Drifblim seems to be a living hot air balloon, primarily purple in coloration. Its once black eyes are now red and set far apart. The lower hemisphere of Drifblim’s body is lighter than the upper, while its bottom portion is red and looks torn. It has four yellow-tipped limbs which may be twitched to act as rudders, and grooves running down the body. The white puff on the top of its head, with the pointed portion of it directed forward, seems small compared to its whole body. Like Drifloon, it has a yellow "X" on its face and (as seen in Pokémon Adventures and Pokémon Battle Revolution) 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, one cannot control its trajectory. However, it can control the altitude of its drift by generating and releasing gas within its body.
Behavior
Drifblim is drowsy in daytime, but is carried aloft by the winds in the evening in big groups. When noticed, they suddenly vanish.

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

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
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.

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.
In other languages
- German: Drifzepeli - From drift and zeppelin.
- French: Grodrive - From gros (big) and dérive (drift).
- Korean: 둥실라이드 Doong-sil-ride - Combination of 둥실 doongsil (fluffy) and the word ride in English.
- Chinese (Taiwan): 附和氣球 Fù Hè Qì Qiú - 附和 (to parrot) may come from the Japanese 付和雷同 fuwaraidō. 氣球 means balloon.
