Drifblim is Pokédex #426, generation 4 (Sinnoh). Drifblim is a Stage 1 Psychic Pokémon with 100 HP. The card says it evolves from Drifloon. In this catalog that name is Drifloon (#425).

The flavor text reads "They carry people and Pokémon, but the wind can catch them, so there can't be a fixed destination."

Drifblim (#426) has 17 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 16 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2024. The earliest other card is Drifblim 24/130 in Diamond & Pearl (2007). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 100 HP. Both list the rarity Rare. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Akira Komayama illustrated this one. 13 other cards of Drifblim list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Akira Komayama. I count 239 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Plasma Blast set binder is where a full Plasma Blast set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Drifblim can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
