#34 Drifloon - Plasma Blast (bw10)
Drifloon is a Psychic-type Pokémon with 70 HP, part of the Black & White series released in 2013 as part of the Plasma Blast set. It has a retreat cost of two Colorless energy and no resistances, making it vulnerable to Darkness-type attacks with a ×2 weakness. The card features two attacks: "Creepy Wind" costs one Psychic energy and forces a coin flip, potentially confusing the defending Pokémon, while "Wind Blast" uses three Colorless energy to deal 40 damage to a Benched opponent's Pokémon, bypassing usual Weakness and Resistance effects. Designed by artist Kyoko Umemoto, the card’s flavor text references its role as a "Signpost for Wandering Spirits," hinting at its mysterious connection to children who may vanish while holding it. It carries a dex number of 425 and is classified as a Common rarity. The card’s simplicity in design and straightforward mechanics align with its role in the game’s competitive and casual play formats. Its strategic value lies in its ability to disrupt opponents through status effects or direct damage to benched Pokémon.
