Drifloon

Description

Card number 58 in the 2008 Stormfront set, this Pokémon Trading Card Game entry showcases Drifloon as a Basic Psychic-type unit. Designed by artist Atsuko Nishida, the card carries a Common rarity classification, making it an accessible piece for those building foundational collections. The 50 HP creature offers strategic versatility through its specific attack capabilities. Drifloon’s gameplay revolves around two distinct moves. The Colorless Constrict attack requires a coin flip; if the result is heads, it paralyzes the Defending Pokémon, offering a disruptive advantage. Alternatively, the Psychic Linear Attack allows players to target one of an opponent’s Pokémon for 10 damage, notably bypassing Weakness and Resistance calculations for Benched targets. This mechanical distinction provides tactical depth beyond standard damage output. Collectors often value this card for its role in the Stormfront era, a period defined by diverse Pokémon designs and evolving gameplay mechanics. The card’s Pokédex number 425 connects it to broader lore, describing a spirit-formed entity that thrives in humid environments. For investors and hobbyists alike, this product represents a tangible piece of 2008 TCG history. Whether you are completing a set or exploring the nuances of Psychic-type strategies, this Stormfront release provides a clear window into the game's development during that year.
