Drifblim in Pokemon Survivor

Drifblim at a glance

Stats and Stat Score

Drifblim has 138 HP, 112 speed and a 1.20x attack multiplier. The multiplier scales every move it uses, so it is the number to watch.

Compared with the whole roster, its HP is among the best on the roster, its speed is above average and its attack is about average. Weighting attack at half and HP and speed at a quarter each gives the Stat Score of 70.9, which puts it at rank 121 overall, rank 17 of 107 among Sinnoh Pokemon and rank 14 of 60 Ghost-types and 18 of 102 Flying-types. The score comes from the game's stat table, not from playtests, so read it together with the best Pokemon guide.

On the full Pokedex ranking Drifblim sits next to Meowscarada one place above it and Glastrier one place below it.

Drifblim moves

Pokemon that are not starters begin with the signature move of their first type, so Drifblim starts every run with Shadow Ball: a shadowy orb that pierces several foes.

The level-up cards can then offer 14 different moves: the 8 Normal moves that every Pokemon shares plus 6 moves of its own types. Moves level up to level 5 and can evolve once you also take the stat card they need, which is covered in the move evolution guide. The permanent Repertoire upgrade adds a second, random starting move; see the upgrades guide.

• Normal moves: Tackle, Quick Attack, Swords Dance, Agility, Harden, Body Slam, Hyper Voice, Substitute
• Ghost moves: Lick, Shadow Ball, Hex
• Flying moves: Gust, Wing Attack, Aerial Ace

Weaknesses and resistances

Drifblim takes extra damage from Electric (1.6x), Ice (1.6x), Rock (1.6x), Ghost (1.6x), and Dark (1.6x). It resists Normal (0.3x), Fighting (0.3x), Ground (0.3x), Bug (0.36x), Grass (0.6x), and Poison (0.6x). The remaining 7 of 18 types deal normal damage. The chart is softer than the main games: a super-effective hit is x1.6, a resisted hit x0.6 and an immunity x0.3, and two types multiply with each other inside the range 0.3 to 2.4. See the type chart guide for every matchup.

The multipliers apply to the damage you take, and enemies attack with the first type listed for them, so the dangerous enemies for Drifblim are the ones whose first type is Electric, Ice, Rock, Ghost, or Dark. Boss shots carry their first type too. Weather does not change these numbers, but it changes your own damage; see the weather guide. There is no same-type bonus, so Ghost or Flying moves do not hit harder just because Drifblim shares the type.

How to get Drifblim

Drifblim is part of the Sinnoh banner. A single pull first picks a rarity (6.5% for Epic) and then picks one of the 32 Epic Pokemon on that banner at random, so one pull gives Drifblim a 0.2% chance. Without pity helping at this rarity, expect to need around 492 pulls for this one in particular, although the pulls you spend on the banner also fill the rest of your collection.

A pull costs one ticket and ten pulls cost ten tickets or one x10 ticket. Tickets are earned in runs, from missions and from chests and are never sold for money. A duplicate turns into 120 coins, or 360 if it is the shiny version. The full odds and the pity rule are in the gacha guide.

Shiny Drifblim exists in this game. One pull in a hundred is a shiny, and wild enemies are shiny one time in 4096. Read the shiny guide for the details.

Drifblim as an enemy

Drifblim can show up as a regular enemy from 4:20 into the run (enemy tier 4 and 5). Each run draws only seven Pokemon per tier, so it is in some runs and absent from others.

Its enemy role is shooter: it keeps its distance and fires shots at you from range.

It is also strong enough to be picked as a boss: it can fill the minute 3 slot. Boss fights are laid out in the bosses guide. Its attack set would be a ground slam, a leap onto your position, a ring of shots, and a fan of shots.
