A Pokémon formed by the spirits of people and Pokémon. It loves damp, humid seasons.
It tugs on the hands of children to steal them away. However, it gets pulled around instead.
Because of the way it floats aimlessly, an old folktale calls it a “Signpost for Wandering Spirits.”
It is whispered that any child who mistakes DRIFLOON for a balloon and holds on to it could wind up missing.
These Pokémon are called the “Signpost for Wandering Spirits.” Children holding them sometimes vanish.
