The gases and spores Drifbplume's body produces are toxic and cause temporary paralysis. Because this Pokémon is very social, it mimics the appearance of a flower to seem more approachable, but its undeservedly sinister reputation still stands.
In seasons when it produces more pollen, the air around a Drifbplume turns yellow with the powder as it walks. It's drowzy in daytime, but flies off in the evening in big groups.
