Effect
The holder is treated as Flying-type for Ground-immunity purposes until the balloon pops on the first move that hits.
Consumed
Yes — pops on the first move the holder is hit by.

Air Balloon is short-term Levitate: any incoming attack pops the balloon, but until then the holder ignores Ground-type moves entirely. Common on Steel + Rock types that hate Earthquake spam — Magnezone, Excadrill, Bisharp — and on setup sweepers that want one extra free turn.
