Kricketune - Drifloon

Drifloon

Drifloon (フワンテ, Fuwante?, Fuwante in Japanese language trademarks) resembles a toy balloon with two strings and cross-like patch. Its name is derived from the words, "drift" and "balloon". Drifloon has a wispy cloud on its head, and the ends of its two strings resemble hearts. It is often said to have attempted to abduct children but is so light that it ends up being pulled along like a party balloon. Drifloon and its evolution are the only two Pokémon that are ghost- and flying-type. Its classification as the 'Balloon' Pokémon is shared with Igglybuff and its evolutions Jigglypuff and Wigglytuff as well as the water/poison Pokémon Qwilfish.

In the anime, Drifloon first appeared in an episode called "Drifloon on the Wind" where it belongs to a Nurse Joy and her two daughters, Marnie (Sayaki) and Paige (Mai). A Drifloon is also owned by Fantina, Hearthrome City gym leader.

In Pokemon Diamond, Pearl and Platinum Versions a Drifloon can only be obtained at the Valley Windworks on Fridays after defeating Commander Mars of Team Galactic for the first time. In Black and White its only possible to breed it from "Drifblim". In Black and White 2 it can be caught in the Hidden Grotto in Route 13 (if you are lucky). In HeartGold and SoulSilver you must trade to get it.

It also appears on the Pokémon Stadium 2's flying stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
