Strategy Overview
Drifloon is Little Cup's often overlooked Ghost. As he is not as bulky as Duskull and not as strong or as fast as Gastly, Drifloon seems to be inferior. However, Drifloon's unique ability, Unburden, allows him to double his speed while gaining HP courtesy of Oran Berry or boosting his Special Attack courtesy of Petaya Berry. With a Speed boost under his belt, Drifloon can be a very threatening sweeper in Little Cup.
