Its greatest asset is HP — among the highest in the entire Pokédex. Weak point: Defense — lower than 86% of species. This is the final form of its line — it does not evolve any further. Defensively it can rely on 5 weaknesses, 3 resistances and 3 full immunities. Normal, Fighting and Ground-type moves do nothing to it at all.
Base stats
Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: HP; weak point: Defense.
A nature can improve this entry further: its boost hits hardest on Sp. Atk, the stat in which this species already leads. Which nature does that — see the list of natures.
Which nature to choose
It hits specially: its Sp. Atk (90) is 10 points higher than its Attack. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all.
- Timid +Spe · −Atk Its Speed is higher than 65% of species — ten percent more lifts it past some of the benchmarks that decide who moves first.
- Modest +SpA · −Atk If you already outspeed what you want to outspeed, those ten percent are better spent on hitting power.
- Unburden doubles Speed after losing its held item. Calculate Speed benchmarks with the ability active — it may change the point of a +Spe or −Spe nature.
A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.

How players use it
Data from 574,541 ranked battles on Smogon (Gen 9 OU, 2026-09). These are not numbers from the game — they are player habits. Gen 9 OU is the most popular format with no top-down team restrictions — everything is allowed except what was deemed too strong.
Rank 139 among 309 Pokémon in use — it is on 0.19% of teams.
Each row is a separate distribution, not a single set: the most common item and the most common move do not have to appear on the same Pokémon.
Pokédex entry
At dusk, swarms of them are carried aloft on winds. When noticed, they suddenly vanish.

TCG cards (11)
All Drifblim cards →Drifblim has 11 cards in 10 sets. The oldest of them are shown below.
Breeding
All Egg Groups →Offspring can come from 57 species from the same Egg Groups (with opposite genders) or from Ditto. Below are the first 12 by Pokédex number.
The Egg hatches after 30 cycles, which is roughly 7,900 steps. The exact cycle length depends on the game — newer titles shortened it noticeably — so treat this number as an order of magnitude, not a countdown. Having the Flame Body Ability in your party halves the wait.
