Drifloon is a Ghost/Flying-type Pokemon that serves as the player's transport to Dream Islands in Pokemon Pokopia. It is one of the earliest Pokemon the player encounters, found floating on the western beach of the Withered Wasteland near the bridge to Palette Town. Drifloon's habitat is Riding Warm Updrafts, which requires three Campfires. Its evolved form, Drifblim, has the Fly specialty.
Drifloon is a static encounter during the Withered Wasteland story. Walk to the western (left) side of the Withered Wasteland and head down to the beach area near the broken bridge that leads to Palette Town. Drifloon is floating there and can be befriended simply by talking to it.
To keep Drifloon happy and housed, build the Riding Warm Updrafts habitat:
Material | Quantity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Campfire | 3 | Each campfire costs 2 Sturdy Sticks + 2 Stones. Requires a Burn-specialty Pokemon to light. |
Place three campfires in a cluster. The rising warm air attracts Drifloon. A Burn-specialty Pokemon (Charmander, Growlithe, Litwick, etc.) is needed to light the campfires.
Drifloon's primary role is transporting the player to Dream Islands. These are floating resource islands rich with building materials, rare items, Stardust, and sometimes legendary Pokemon encounters.
To visit a Dream Island:
Obtain a Doll (found in Poke Ball pickups, Dream Island towers, or crafted). Each Doll type generates a different Dream Island.
Speak to Drifloon with the Doll in your inventory.
Drifloon carries you to a Dream Island corresponding to the Doll type.
You get one island type per day, but you can fly back and forth as many times as you want that day before the island resets at 5:00 AM.
Doll | Island Features | Rare Encounter |
|---|---|---|
Ditto Doll | Standard materials, blocks, Stardust | Entei (rare) |
Eevee Doll | Flowers, seeds, decorative items | Suicune (rare) |
Arcanine Doll | Fire-themed, volcanic materials | Entei (rare) |
Substitute Doll | Mixed resources, mystery items | Suicune (rare) |
Dragonite Doll | Sky-themed, Pokemetal Fragments | Mewtwo (rare) |
Pikachu Doll | Electric-themed, machinery parts | Various |
Magikarp Doll | Water-themed, fishing supplies | Various |
Drifblim is Drifloon's evolution and has the Fly specialty. Like Pidgeotto and Dragonite, Drifblim can carry the player to any befriended Pokemon's location via the Pokedex. Drifblim spawns at the same Riding Warm Updrafts habitat as Drifloon.

Befriend Drifloon as soon as you reach the western beach. Dream Islands are one of the best sources of rare materials and recipes in the game.
Collect every Doll you find. Each Doll type generates a different Dream Island with unique resources and possible legendary encounters.
Visit a Dream Island every day. The daily reset means you get fresh resources each morning.
The Dragonite Doll island is the only one where Mewtwo can be re-encountered in post-game.
Light the three Campfires for the Riding Warm Updrafts habitat early. You need a Burn Pokemon, so recruit Charmander or Growlithe first.
