Drifblim seems to resemble a hot-air balloon, primarily purple in coloration. Its once-black, dot-like eyes are now red and set far apart. The lower hemisphere of Drifblim's body is lighter in colour than the upper, while its bottom portion is red and looks torn. It has four yellow-tipped limbs which may be twitched to act as rudders, and grooves running down the body. The white puff on the top of its head, with the pointed portion of it directed forward, seems small compared to its whole body. Like Drifloon, it has a yellow "X" on its face and (as seen in Pokémon Adventures and Pokémon Battle Revolution) a small mouth that can't always be seen.
