Pokédex entries
Diamond | It’s drowzy in daytime, but flies off in the evening in big groups. No one knows where they go. |
---|---|
Pearl | It carries people and Pokémon when it flies. But since it only drifts, it can end up anywhere. |
Platinum | At dusk, swarms of them are carried aloft on winds. When noticed, they suddenly vanish. |
HeartGold SoulSilver | It can generate and release gas within its body. That’s how it can control the altitude of its drift. |
Black White | At dusk, swarms of them are carried aloft on winds. When noticed, they suddenly vanish. |
Black 2 White 2 | They carry people and Pokémon, but the wind can catch them, so there can’t be a fixed destination. |
X Omega Ruby | It carries people and Pokémon when it flies. But since it only drifts, it can end up anywhere. |
Y Alpha Sapphire | It’s drowsy in daytime, but flies off in the evening in big groups. No one knows where they go. |
Sun | There was once an incident in which a man took a trip riding a Drifblim, only to go missing. |
Moon | Even while under careful observation, large flocks of Drifblim flying at dusk will inexplicably disappear from view. |
Ultra Sun | There’s a rumor that if you catch a Drifblim floating on the wind at dusk, you’ll be carried away to the afterlife. |
Ultra Moon | The raw material for the gas inside its body is souls. When its body starts to deflate, it’s thought to carry away people and Pokémon. |
Sword | Some say this Pokémon is a collection of souls burdened with regrets, silently drifting through the dusk. |
Shield | It grabs people and Pokémon and carries them off somewhere. Where do they go? Nobody knows. |
