In-Depth Analysis
Drifloon totals 348 across its base stats, profiling as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Lean on its HP (90) when planning sets, and cover for its weaker Defense (34).
Defensively, the Ghost, Flying combination gives Drifloon 3 resistances, 3 immunities, and 5 weaknesses to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 5 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A catch rate of 125 puts Drifloon in the moderate range — a few Great Balls usually get the job done. It levels on the Fast Then Very Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants HP +1 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
