Drifloon is Pokémon No.0425, a Ghost/Flying-type Pokémon.
It looks like a purple balloon with a white puff on its head, a yellow X-shaped mark on its face, and long string-like arms ending in heart-shaped hands.
It is said that Drifloon is made from the souls of people and Pokémon wandering by the roadside.
Its round body is believed to be filled with countless souls, and if it ever bursts, those souls are said to spill out with a scream-like sound.
Drifloon loves humid seasons and can sometimes appear in large numbers when the conditions are right.
It is also said to grab the hands of children or small Pokémon and try to take them away to the afterlife.
However, because Drifloon itself is so light, it sometimes gets swung around by the very children it tries to carry off.
It seems to dislike heavier children for that reason.
Old stories say that the sight of Drifloon drifting aimlessly in the sky made people believe it was a guidepost for lost souls.
In the games, Drifloon evolves into Drifblim starting at level 28.
