A Question About Drifloon and Drifblim...

[Kasedilla]

M'kay, as the title suggests, I have a question.

Apparently, Drifloon and Drifblim can learn the moves 'Spit Up' and 'Swallow'...
Could anyone tell me how exactly that would work? O__o;

I mean, they don't exactly have mouthes... which is why I'm asking.

Do they open up themselves at the bottom or something, or do they swallow up their foes with erm... ghost... stuff or some other supernatural means? Or do they do it some other way?

Tell me what you guys think.

There might be a mouth behind the bandages.

 

[~Locust~]

They may first grow bigger. Next they start to rip in the middle until they've made a giant hole. Obviously, the absorb the opponent next(Swallow). Then they just spit them out(Spit Up) and then seal themselve sup. That's why they're bandages.

 

[Habunake]

I remember seeing a pic of Drifloon with a mouth coming out of the "X".

 

[Ludo]

I see your point, but neither of those moves involve ingesting the opponent. You use Stockpile (what they're stockpiling, though, we may never know...), then use Swallow to heal depending on how many units you've stockpiled, or Spit Up to attack the opponent with power varying on the units stockpiled.

 

[Kriegsaffe No. 9]

Let us now speculate what "units" of "something" are being stockpil't, et, and expelled. My guesses, in no particular order or priority:

1. Small mammals
2. Large mammals
3. So-so lizards
4. Art objects
5. Fine thread
6. Tiny space armadas
7. Rare earth minerals
8. Keetoms
9. Clear fluids
10. Duplo blocks
11. Actual Legos
12. Flying hatchets
13. Ancient guillotines
14. etc.

Heh. Try dumping ice cubes into a Pelipper's mouth and make it use Spit Up to see how much damage it does.

 

[Ludo]

Perhaps they just swallow whatever's readily available, and it winds up becoming more of a spit ball by the time they spit up.
