Latest Pokémon News: Scarlet and Violet Players Spooked by Drifloon, Discovery of Ditto Size Variants

Drifloon is a cute ghost Pokémon that has been causing a buzz in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Many players are spooked by a group of them seen in the game. This is because of scary stories that claim Drifloon can take children away.

Big News in Pokémon Go

Pokémon Go introduced a new feature last year. Players can now catch very small or very large Pokémon. Recently, they added Ditto to this list. But, not everyone likes this new update.

Further, Pokémon Go introduced what many think is the worst Field Research Task ever. Players are baffled by its addition, as it seems to offer no real benefit.

Why Drifloon is Spooky

Drifloon looks friendly but has a dark side, according to Pokémon stories. It’s said to lead kids to the afterlife. In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, there’s a creepy scene with Drifloon at Uva Academy Schoolyard. This has made many players uneasy.

At night, you can spot three Drifloon hovering over a shed, drawing attention and fear from players. This eerie sight has sparked a lot of talks online.

Ditto’s Size Variation

Ditto, known for its ability to mimic other Pokémon, didn’t have size variations until now. Many players found XXL Dittos disguised as other Pokémon. Reactions are mixed, with some players finding it pointless and others excited.

Despite the mixed feelings, Ditto is no longer left out of the size variation feature.

The Controversial Field Research Task

Field Research Tasks in Pokémon Go usually offer great rewards. However, a new task simply rewards players with ten Pokéballs for catching ten Pokémon. This has led to jokes and criticism within the community. It’s seen as pointless since catching the Pokémon already requires using Pokéballs.

The player community has been poking fun at this strange addition by Niantic, highlighting the odd choice for a limited-time event.
