McDreamy

John's Drifblim, nicknamed McDreamy, is the fifth Pokemon obtained by John in the Sinnoh region. It was caught as a wandering Drifloon caught in a tree at the Great Marsh. John rescued and captured it from its place in a tree at the Great Marsh. During a battle with Fantina, it defeated. John gave it to Fantina when she offers to train it, and she delivers it to him during his Pokemon League battle, where it is revealed to have evolved into a Drifblim. He uses it in battle against the final Elite Four member, Lucian, and is a powerful battler, one of the main reasons John wins this battle. After the League, John keeps McDreamy at home.

History
McDreamy was caught as a Drifloon in a tree at the Great Marsh. For rescuing it, John was also awarded a baby Squirtle from the Marsh's warden.

It is known for its daydreaming personality, often not paying attention in battle. Red tried to convince John that this is because it was not interested in battling and shouldn't be forced to battle if it doesn't want to battle, but John refused to believe it, saying that McDreamy was just a bit of an airhead.

McDreamy's uninterest in battling is the main reason it lost every battle it was in... until John used it against the Gym Leader Fantina. In this battle, McDreamy tries its best and defeats her main Pokemon, McDreamy's evolved form, a Drifblim. Fantina sees the Pokemo's potential and offers to train McDreamy for him, he accepts and gives McDreamy to her.

Upon arriving at the Pokemon League, John meets with Fantina, who hands him McDreamy, who she says may be useful in the League battles. He uses McDreamy once more in the battle against Lucian of the Elite Four, where he sees that it has surprisingly evolved. Now an expert battling Pokemon, it defeats Lucian's Alakazam and Mr. Mime, but loses to his Espeon, being a main resource for John during this battle. After the League, Fantina told John that McDreamy's training was complete and that it could return to John's care permanently, resulting in John leaving McDreamy at his house so he could start off in Unova with a clean slate.
