These Pokémon are called the "Signpost for Wandering Spirits." Children holding them sometimes vanish.

Drifloon is filled with air and can either expand or shrink to express its feelings. It also likes damp weather.

Drifloon grab children's hands as if they were going to guide them to the Ghost World. Although Drifloon tug on children's hands, they often end up getting pulled around instead.

Perhaps seeking company, it approaches children. However, it often quickly runs away again when the children play too roughly with it.

The gathering of many souls gave rise to this Pokémon. During humid seasons, they seem to appear in abundance.
