What is Drifloon in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond?
Drifloon is a balloon-shaped ghost-type creature that can be found in Valley Windworks every Friday. In addition, players who use the Honey Tree on the same day will have a chance to encounter Drifloon. In the original DS version of the game, players had the option to manipulate the time on their system to ensure they didn’t miss the chance to catch Drifloon.
However, the new remaster of the game has implemented built-in functionality to prevent time manipulation from triggering in-game events. This means that players need to rely on the timing and methods specified in the game to encounter and capture Drifloon.
Where can I find Drifloon in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond?
To catch Drifloon in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, you must first reach the Valley Windmill, located east of Floaroma Town, and defeat Team Galactic there. This became possible after defeating Rock, the first Gym Leader, in the city of Oreborg.
Every Friday after the event, a flying dragon will appear outside the Valley Windworks building. Note that if you beat the Galaxy on Friday, you will need to wait until the following Friday for the Drifloon to spawn. It’s important not to change the date on your Nintendo Switch clock to bypass the waiting period, as doing so will lock you out of all time-based builds for 24 hours.
To capture Drifloon, follow these steps:
- Wait until Friday after beating the Galaxy.
- Visit Valley Windworks during game hours from 10 a.m. to 7:59 p.m.
- If done correctly, you will see Drifloon floating outside the building’s front door. Interact with it to initiate combat.
Note that Drifloon will only appear during the day on Fridays.
- There are no special tricks or methods to evolve Drifloon into Drifblim. Just upgrade it to level 28 through battle or using rare candies, and it will evolve into Drifblim.
- It’s important to remember that this is the only way to get Drifblim in the game. So, you have to catch Drifloon as mentioned before and then evolve it.

Pokemon Brilliant Diamond Wyvern Trainer
In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, you have a chance to meet a trainer with a flying dragon at the fifth gym in the game, the Heart’s City Gym. However, to start this battle, you need to incorrectly answer a question from the Gym Leader.
If you don’t want to wait for a Wyvern to appear naturally before encountering it, there’s another way. By adjusting the date on your Nintendo Switch, you can change the time in the game.
Access the “Date and Time” option under “System” in the console settings and disable automatic clock synchronization with the Internet. This allows you to freely time travel in the game. It’s worth noting that encountering Drifloon in this way can help complete your Sinnoh Pokédex and unlock the National Pokédex after the game.
