PearlIt carries people and Pokémon when it flies. But since it only drifts, it can end up anywhere.
Platinum, Black, WhiteAt dusk, swarms of them are carried aloft on winds. When noticed, they suddenly vanish.
HeartGold, SoulSilverIt can generate and release gas within its body. That’s how it can control the altitude of its drift.
Black 2, White 2They carry people and Pokémon, but the wind can catch them, so there can’t be a fixed destination.

MoonEven while under careful observation, large flocks of Drifblim flying at dusk will inexplicably disappear from view.
Ultra SunThere’s a rumor that if you catch a Drifblim floating on the wind at dusk, you’ll be carried away to the afterlife.

ShieldIt grabs people and Pokémon and carries them off somewhere. Where do they go? Nobody knows.
Legends: ArceusIt drifts along at dusk, perfectly silent. Its transient, melancholy aspect touches some people deeply—every so often, one will come upon a song or poem devoted to Drifblim.
