CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Drifloon looks like an invitation to play, but the stories surrounding it mix attraction with unease. It approaches children, perhaps seeking company, then sometimes flees when they treat it roughly. Other stories attribute far darker intentions to it. Its balloon-like silhouette thus exists between an almost familiar encounter and the interpretations local people give its passage.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Drifloon's Balloon Blast deals 30 damage for each damage counter already on it; its other attack deals 10. These numbers appear on No. 089 from Scarlet & Violet, illustrated by Taira Akitsu, and No. 155 from Paldean Fates, illustrated by Kyoko Umemoto. The effect depends on the Pokémon's condition rather than its edition.
