Physiology
Drifloon has a round, purple body with two stringy arms that have a yellow heart-shape on them. Drifloon has black-dot eyes and a yellow "X" on its face; as Drifloon are said to be the ghosts of popped balloons, this "X" may be two pieces of tape intended to cover the hole that would've caused the balloon to deflate. A white mass of fluff sits on top of Drifloon's head.

Trivia
- The level 22 Drifloon captured in front of the Valley Windworks coincidentally needs 1337 experience points to level up to level 23. "1337" is Internet slang for 'leet' or 'elite'.
- Drifloon is the first 4th Generation Pokémon to appear in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
- In the Japanese version of Pearl's Pokédex entry, Drifloon specifically take children to the "world of the dead" (Japanese: あのよ), instead of just trying to "steal them away" as in the English version. This was likely changed to comply with Nintendo's usual "kid-friendly" policy.
Origin
Drifloon is based on balloons.
Name origin
Drifloon's name is a combination of "drift" and "balloon". Its Japanese name, Fuwante, may be derived from fuwa fuwa, meaning soft, fluffy, and light. Its German name, Driftlon, comes from Drift and Ballon. Its French name, Baudrive, comes from baudruche and dérive.
