Driftlon

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.

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon Legends: Arceus takes care to call the rumours linking Drifloon with reincarnated souls and missing children unconfirmed. This caution from the narrator matters: an unsettling Pokédex story should not automatically become a certainty.
