Drifblim Raid Counters

Whenever the shadow variant of a Pokémon listed below is available in the game, it is strongly recommended to use it over its regular/purified counterpart. However, since Shadow Pokémon are extremely expensive to power up and require specific events to TM away Frustration, they will NOT be listed as raid counters in this article.

  • Icy Wind Ice

Drifblim is a very good Pokémon to use in PvP battles. It has great potential in both Great and Ultra League and can fulfil different roles. Its best moveset is Hex, Shadow Ball and Icy Wind, and the best IV distributions are 0/15/12 (Level 24) and 1/15/15 (Level 50) for Great and Ultra League, respectively.

Since these IV spreads cannot be obtained in raids, I would recommend rerolling the IVs of your raid-caught Drifblim with Good, Great and perhaps even Ultra friends.

We hope you found this raid guide useful!
