Did you catch and use Drifloon?
 
Every Friday in Sinnoh, outside Valley Windworks stands a Drifloon:

So, after catching it, what did you do with Drifloon?

Did you use it on your team, or leave it in the PC box to never see the day of light again?

ErikaInRainbowCity August 10th, 2013 7:16 PM

I did! Used it for a while because of the move Payback but it's currently in the PC :P don't know if I will bring it back out again

...After about 100 hours invested in Platinum (my only playthrough and the only one I played of D/P/Pt)... I never noticed that Drifloon there. Just now I set my calendar back on my DS and went there to find it. XD

Soo... I caught it. It'll most likely stay in my PC unless I get the time/urge to train it.

No. In fact, I don't think I ever went back to the valley windworks. Don't get me wrong, I would love to have a child snatcher just to freak people out, but there are bigger fish to fry.

I did use it for in game team actually.
Back then I was kind of stupid,
I was not aware about Physical and Special categories,
I remember giving Driftblim all Physical moves it can learn,
like Explosion, Fly and Payback.
Foolish, foolish...

KorpiklaaniVodka August 11th, 2013 7:27 AM

I leave it in the PC box, since I prefer to use better Ghost-types.

Kikaito plush August 11th, 2013 8:31 AM

I caught and evolved it and left it in the PC as my team was already decided.

Sirfetch’d August 11th, 2013 4:46 PM

I caught this cute little guy and used him on my team! He was actually stronger than expected and I enjoyed taking him for a stroll in Amity Square.

Amore August 12th, 2013 2:52 AM

I used him once, didn't like him. Now he just rots in the PC. May consider evolving him, who knows?

curiousnathan August 12th, 2013 3:48 AM

Despite it being super cute, I didn't use it. I did catch it though, but it merely gathers dust in my PC box.

CliCliW August 12th, 2013 5:25 AM

I caught it on my most recent run-through of Diamond and intended to use it but there were so many others I wanted to use. Damnit.

PlatinumDude August 12th, 2013 6:23 AM

I caught Drifloon, then I boxed it. Never found much of a use of it, tbh, since I already had a Flying Pokemon in Staravia.

Aeroblast August 12th, 2013 7:10 AM

Boxed, and never saw the light of the day.

Grimwohl August 12th, 2013 7:26 AM

I love my greifing pokemon, so Aftermath Drifblim with Willowisp, Toxic, Fly, Protect, and Lefties. Good times.

Meaii August 12th, 2013 7:45 AM

Wait, what?! ._. I never knew Drifloom appeared at Valley Windworks every Friday ... So that's how a lot of my friends had Drifblim and I was puzzled. >-<

atomtanned August 12th, 2013 6:09 PM

I caught it! I'm playing through Platinum and trying to complete the dex, so I did train/evolve it, but I haven't used it much aside from that.

XeroNos August 13th, 2013 12:54 AM

When I first reached Valley Windworks, I heard of it appearing but as that day was Sunday I think, I never got back the chance to get it again

Purple skies August 13th, 2013 4:41 AM

At first I never heard of a drifloom existed until some point and never knew ever since i heard it was every Fridays then I caught it but never used it

Hiatus August 13th, 2013 11:14 AM

I caught one in Pokémon Diamond, but it didn't have the nature that I wanted. I still evolved it, though, because I was required to have a Drifblim in order to complete my Pokédex. I stored the Pokémon in my third PC box, and later transferred it to Pokémon Black (along with a few of my other mons).

PokeChris123 August 13th, 2013 11:53 AM

I caught it, but never used it. I don't really have a reason to use one in D/P/Pl.

Ruben967 August 14th, 2013 1:43 PM

I caught it but didn't use it my first run. I'm using it on my current Ghost Monotype though <-<

Starry Windy August 14th, 2013 8:17 PM

I caught Drifloon and used it for a while, but after that, I store it to PC.

Altair August 15th, 2013 2:31 AM

Never bothered to catch it in my D, P and Pt version! I just never happened to play the game on a Friday! I imagine I would have just boxed it however...

Urutsune August 15th, 2013 3:50 AM

I never knew in the past that it appears there on Friday. I had used Drifloon before like in main team but never in Sinnoh though. More people should give a chance for the little guy, it becomes a great mighty wall when it evolves.

Brendino August 16th, 2013 12:50 AM

I caught the Drifloon in Platinum, but I'd already pre-planned my party at that point (one of the few times I actually have), so I just sent it to the PC to collect dust. I found that Drifblim was pretty useful on my White 2 run, though, so if I ever play through Platinum again, I'll probably end up using it.
