While some people might laugh at the fact that Drifblim is a Pokémon that is literally a balloon, this spooky entity could easily tear down your party if you're not prepared. As you make your way through the Elite Four, you will face Flint in the third battle. Although Flint is a trainer focused on Fire-type moves, he will use a Drifblim. Here are its biggest weaknesses and the Pokémon you should consider fighting it with.
What is Drifblim weak against?
Drifblim is a Ghost and Flying Pokémon. This makes it weak against other types of Ghosts and Dark, Rock, Electric, and Ice moves. The moves we recommend are Thunder, Blizzard, Foul Play, Shadow Ball, Phantom Strength, Stone Edge, Lightning Bolt, and Zap Cannon.
When battling Drifblim, avoid the Bug, Poison and Grass moves which deal reduced damage. Also, due to its Ghost and Flying base, Normal, Fighting, and Ground attacks won't affect it at all.
Best counters
Our recommendations for the best counters against Drifblim include Tyranitar, Luxray, Golem, Raichu, Weaville, or a Mew you've taught one of the moves above. Although Ghost-type attacks are strong against Drifblim, you don't want to risk the opponent countering your Gengar with their own Ghost attack, so we don't recommend taking out your Ghost.
