Drifloon · Scarlet & Violet, what to know.
About the Drifloon card
Numbered 89 of 250 in Scarlet & Violet, released in March 2023, Drifloon is a Common, a Basic Psychic-type carrying 70 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Drifloon needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.

Drifloon carries this Pokédex flavor text: "It is whispered that any child who mistakes Drifloon for a balloon and holds on to it could wind up missing."
What is Drifloon worth?
Drifloon is a Common, so raw copies trade for very little and most of the print run survives. The only real value is in pristine, high-grade copies, where even a Common can reach low triple digits in 1st Edition PSA 10. See the live price above for the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Drifloon before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Drifloon is the most forgiving tier to grade in the set. Centering on the framed border is the usual cap, and the soft cardstock picks up edge whitening easily, but high print runs keep clean copies affordable.
If you are collecting Drifloon
Raw copies of Drifloon are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Drifloon is the practical move.
