CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Drifblim floats almost silently at dusk. On some nights, several can be seen together before disappearing from view. Pokédex accounts link it to departed souls and journeys to an unknown destination. It can seize people or Pokémon and carry them away, but legends about the afterlife do not establish where it actually goes. Its silhouette floating through the sky attracts attention, while its route remains a mystery.

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

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon Ultra Sun reports a rumor: clinging to a Drifblim carried by the night wind supposedly leads to the afterlife. Pokémon Shield more cautiously refers to an unknown destination. The legend supplies an appealing answer to a journey the Pokédex does not confirm.
