  I was initially confused on how this video ended up being 29 minutes long, but then I realized that half of this video is Gen 7 VGC.

  That one dex entry with drifloon carrying unsuspecting children away was my first introduction into the world of dark pokemon dex entries.

  The inverse of Dusknoir: enormous HP, terrible defenses...and as such, is about as useful<br>Weird how defensively inclined Ghosts are often so flawed.

  This thing was so, so close to being genuinely viable in OU as a defensive wall. The problem? It was introduced one generation too late, when it would have fit absolutely perfectly into Gen 3’s OU metagame.

  The fact that it took until GEN 9 for Drifblim to get a more powerful special Flying move than freaking Air Cutter (which it was only able to learn in gen 4 and was otherwise stuck with GUST mind you) is crazy

  Quick note on Drifblim in Gen 9: It actually hung on to NU for quite some time until the DLC and only then did it drop to Untiered.

  Unburden is so good and common that I literally did not know the Drifblim line had a signature ability Flare Boost until a week ago since I never saw anyone used it, I actually thought it was a fanmade ability when I saw it in a romhack.

  I LOVE Drifblim. Took a ludicrously long time for them to get actual usable Flying-Type attacks, but they&apos;re such fun either way. <br>Kidnapper ghost blimp jelly freak inflated with souls- that&apos;s so spooktacularly POKEMON.
