Top 10 Scariest Pokemon

#8 - Drifloon

Up next in our top ten countdown is Drifloon. Drifloon, like most Pokemon, seems quite childish; it doesn't have that scary appearance. Much like Yamask, the spookiness lies in Drifloon's Pokedex Entries.

Drifloon's Pokedex Entries read (From Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver - in that exact order), "A Pokémon formed by the spirits of people and Pokémon. It tugs on the hands of children to steal them away. ...an old folktale calls it a Signpost for Wandering Spirits. It is whispered that any child who mistakes DRIFLOON for a balloon and holds on to it could wind up missing." Pretty deceiving from its design, right? Not so childish now, huh?

Drifloon, to start, is a balloon that is composed of spirits of dead people and Pokemon. Apparently when you pass in the Pokemon World, your spirit might want to haunt people either as a Drifloon or Yamask. Drifloon, unlike Yamask, sticks to little kids. It's easy to imagine Drifloon, as innocent as it looks, being able to easily abduct child. From there, it takes them away. Unfortunately for Drifloon (and those poor children), it doesn't control where it ends up. What Drifloon does from there is a mystery. Do they kill the children. It's definitely a possibility. Why? Well... It really lies in Drifloon evolution; Drifblim is able to release gases (possibly used to do the job?). Drifloon could also just let those children go while at hundreds of feet above ground. No one can really say what happens after Drifloon steals the children, but that doesn't stop Pokemon Fans from coming up with crazy possible outcomes.

It's scary to think that, in the Pokemon World, something as simple as a balloon is out to get you... Scratch That... It's out to get your children, who you love and adore.
