'''Drifloon''' is a balloon Pokémon appearing in the fourth-generation Pokémon games.

=Information=

Drifloon is an odd Pokémon that resembles a purple living balloon. It is said to be formed by the spirits of humans and Pokémon. They love damp and hot seasons. There is a darker side to this Pokémon, as Drifloon seek to steal children away and take them to the underworld, although they are so light that they usually wind up being tugged by the children instead. Drifloon floats around aimlessly, often at the mercy of the winds or the children it attempts to abduct, and has become known as the "Signpost for Wandering Spirits" in old folktales.

Drifloon evolves into [[Drifblim]] at Level 28.

*Its name is a combination of "drift" and "balloon".
*Although the detail was not mentioned in the American Pokémon entries likely due to censorship, the Japanese ''Diamond'' Pokédex entry as well as the ''Super Smash Bros.
