Drifloon TIME PENALTY Explained in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl
568HOW TO GET Drifloon in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Pokemon Shining Pearl. In this video I explain how the time penalty works if you reset the time on your system, and how you need to reset the time in order to find Drifloon. Drifloon is a static encounter by the Valley Windworks and can only be found standing outside the Valley Windworks on Fridays AFTER you have beaten Mars. This means that if you start your game on a Friday you will have to wait until the Friday the next week...
We can reset the time on the Nintendo Switch to make the encounter happen faster, but how does the time penalty work? In these games, at least for Drifloon, there is a 24 hour time penalty. You need to set your time to 10:00 on a Thursday and wait 24 hours without changing the time on your Nintendo Switch again, until it becomes 10:01 the following DAYTIME. You can also find Drifloon during the morning. The important thing is that you wait those 24 hours without changing the time on your Switch again, and for it to be a Friday AFTER you beat Mars at the Valley Windworks.
What is even better is that this Drifloon is my SECOND Drifloon encounter. You may therefore be able to help out a friend with this Drifloon if you reset your time!
The big issue with Drifloon is that you need to have seen every single Pokemon in the Sinnoh regional PokeDex in order to obtain the National PokeDex, which you then need to unlock the Post-Game in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
A special thanks to @Verlisify for pointing this issue out in his video on:
