Drifloon

Description

This reverse holo finish distinguishes the card within the base set, appealing to collectors who appreciate the unique reflective treatment that defines this parallel version. Designed by Kyoko Umemoto, the card captures the essence of the ghost balloon Pokémon, known in Pokédex entries as the "Signpost for Wandering Spirits." From a gameplay perspective, Drifloon offers versatile options for trainers. With 70 HP, it serves as a sturdy early-game presence. The Psychic Creepy Wind attack allows players to flip a coin; on heads, it confuses the Defending Pokémon, disrupting opponent strategies. Alternatively, the Wind Blast attack deals 40 damage to a Benched Pokémon, bypassing standard Weakness and Resistance calculations for bench targets. This mechanic makes it a useful tool for applying pressure across the board, requiring a retreat cost of two Colorless energy. Collectors often seek out Plasma Blast cards to complete their set runs or to build themed collections around Psychic-type Pokémon. The reverse holo variant adds an extra layer of desirability for those focused on finish-specific collecting. As a common card, it remains accessible while still holding nostalgic value for fans of the Black & White era. Whether you are hunting for specific finishes or simply expanding your roster of classic Pokémon, this card represents a solid addition to any collection.
