Shadow Drifblim Pokédex entries

Versions	Pokédex entry
Diamond	It’s drowzy in daytime, but flies off in the evening in big groups. No one knows where they go.
Pearl	It carries people and Pokémon when it flies. But since it only drifts, it can end up anywhere.
Platinum, Black, White	At dusk, swarms of them are carried aloft on winds. When noticed, they suddenly vanish.
HeartGold, SoulSilver	It can generate and release gas within its body. That’s how it can control the altitude of its drift.
Black 2, White 2	They carry people and Pokémon, but the wind can catch them, so there can’t be a fixed destination.
X, Omega Ruby	It carries people and Pokémon when it flies. But since it only drifts, it can end up anywhere.
Y, Alpha Sapphire	It’s drowsy in daytime, but flies off in the evening in big groups. No one knows where they go.
Sun	There was once an incident in which a man took a trip riding a Drifblim, only to go missing.
Moon	Even while under careful observation, large flocks of Drifblim flying at dusk will inexplicably disappear from view.
Ultra Sun	There’s a rumor that if you catch a Drifblim floating on the wind at dusk, you’ll be carried away to the afterlife.
Ultra Moon	The raw material for the gas inside its body is souls. When its body starts to deflate, it’s thought to carry away people and Pokémon.
Sword	Some say this Pokémon is a collection of souls burdened with regrets, silently drifting through the dusk.
Shield	It grabs people and Pokémon and carries them off somewhere. Where do they go? Nobody knows.
Legends: Arceus	It 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.
