It features two attacks: Gust, which costs two Colorless Energy and deals 10 damage, and Balloon Blast, requiring two Psychic Energy to deal 30 damage for each damage counter on the Pokémon. The card resists Fighting-type attacks by 30 and is weak to Darkness-type moves with double damage. It has a retreat cost of one Colorless Energy. Drifloon’s flavor text hints at a playful caution, warning that mistaking it for a balloon could lead to unexpected consequences. The card was released in the Scarlet & Violet series on March 31, 2023. Artist Taira Akitsu designed the illustration, and it is classified as a Common rarity with a regulation mark of G. The card’s design aligns with its Psychic typing and thematic connections to balloons.
