Pokédex entries by game

Descriptions recorded in these games. This list does not establish where the Pokémon can be caught or transferred.

Diamond

It’s drowzy in daytime, but flies off in the evening in big groups. No one knows where they go.

Pearl · X · Omega Ruby

It carries people and Pokémon when it flies. But since it only drifts, it can end up anywhere.

Platinum · Black · White

At dusk, swarms of them are carried aloft on winds. When noticed, they suddenly vanish.

Heartgold · Soulsilver

It can generate and release gas within its body. That’s how it can control the altitude of its drift.

Black 2 · White 2

They carry people and Pokémon, but the wind can catch them, so there can’t be a fixed destination.

Y · Alpha Sapphire

It’s drowsy in daytime, but flies off in the evening in big groups. No one knows where they go.

Sun

There was once an incident in which a man took a trip riding a Drifblim, only to go missing.

Moon

Even while under careful observation, large flocks of Drifblim flying at dusk will inexplicably disappear from view.

Ultra Sun

There’s a rumor that if you catch a Drifblim floating on the wind at dusk, you’ll be carried away to the afterlife.

Ultra Moon

The raw material for the gas inside its body is souls. When its body starts to deflate, it’s thought to carry away people and Pokémon.

Sword

Some say this Pokémon is a collection of souls burdened with regrets, silently drifting through the dusk.

Shield

It grabs people and Pokémon and carries them off somewhere. Where do they go? Nobody knows.

Legends Arceus

It drifts along at dusk, perfectly silent. Its transient, melancholy aspect touches some people deeply—every so often, one will come upon a song or poem devoted to Drifblim.
