Drifblim (フワライド, Fuwaraido?, Fuwaride in original Japanese language trademarks) resemble hot air balloons with wings that resemble flags. Like its pre-evolved form, its name is partially derived from the word, drift; however it is also partially derived from the word blimp. Drifblim have a wispy cloud on their heads and a large yellow "X" on their faces resembling a taped up balloon. It is able to carry humans and Pokémon to various places using the wind as a guide. Drifblim first appeared in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.
In the anime, Drifblim first made its appearance as one of Fantina's (Gym Leader of Heart home City) ghost type Pokémon.
One of its known Ghost-type moves is Ominous Wind, a new move which has the chance of raising all of the user's stats if it hits (similar to Ancientpower and Silver Wind).
GameDaily ranked Drifblim fourth on their list of the "Top 10 Weirdest Looking Pokémon", stating "We're not sure why there's a Pokémon that resembles a hot air balloon with marshmallow fluff (at least we hope it's fluff) on its head. After all, how do you give that a hug?".
