      PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

      Recommended moves

      Drifblim doesn't have enough attacking power to pull its weight in the PvP meta, but it has a jaw-dropping 312 HP stat to boot 😧

      ⚔️ Raids - It'll just waste many seconds on the Raid timer without doing considerable damage 🙄

      🛡️ Gyms - Its insane HP but less than impressive DEF make it an appreciable Gym defender. It particularly excels against Fighting-type attackers due to a superb triple resistance against them ⭐

      PvP AnalysisPvP Analysis

      Recommended moves

      Astonish buffed to new heights gives Drifblim fresh pastures in the lower PvP Leagues, and to remarkable success! 😎

      🔵 Great League - Drifblim is a fine choice in the Great League, where it grabs numerous wins against some of this format’s biggest threats ✌️

      However, this is nothing compared to what it's capable of when you power it up even further 👀

      🟡 Ultra League - Drifblim literally haunts the Ultra League, striking fear among most Pokémon thanks to its moveset and coverage

      It takes out the best of the lot, including Cobalion, Virizion, Cresselia, Giratina Altered, Clefable, Malamar, Ampharos, and Talonflame 😏

      🟣 Master League - Drifblim runs out of fuel for the Master League 📉
