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 swsh10-063 flips three coins with its only attack for one Psychic Energy. Each heads adds 10 damage, opening possible results from 0 to 30 in steps of 10. Narumi Sato illustrated this printing: no amount is guaranteed before the flips.
