Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl Catch and develop Driftlon

 Driftlon is actually one of the rarest monsters in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. There is only one way to catch Driftlon. Maybe you already know the method and are wondering why it doesn't appear? We also answer this question in this guide!

This is how you get Driftlon

To get the chance to find a Driftlon, you have to complete the events at the wind power plant within the story and defeat Commander Mars from Team Galaktik . The girl at the power plant also mentions that a certain Pokémon may now be returning.

This Pokémon is of course Driftlon. However, Driftlon only appears on Fridays as a static encounter in front of the wind power plant ! And on Fridays you only have one chance to catch it.

Every Friday you will find Driftlon in front of the wind power plant.

Why is there no Driftlon on me?

Since this is a time event, you might come up with the idea of ​​simply changing the time on your console. That's the problem. If you set the date to a Friday, Driftlon will not appear . Much more, you get a penalty that blocks the temporal event for 24 hours. If you don't want to wait until next Friday, you can set the date to a Thursday. Then wait 24 hours and Driftlon should eventually show up with this trick as well.

See Driftlon for the Pokédex

Driftlon may be the last Pokémon that is missing from your Pokédex. Apart from the unusual catching method, there are only two trainers in the entire game world who fight with Driftlon and thus bring you a Pokédex entry. Both coaches can be found in the Herzhofen arena . The problem is that you only have to solve very simple tasks there and therefore you will probably miss the coach fights. If you haven't done the arena yet, you now know that you should intentionally trigger the fights there.

Develop Driftlon to Drifzepeli

If you want to have Driftlon on your team, then you will definitely be interested in how it develops. In contrast to the fishing method, Driflon has a completely normal development method. It evolves into Drifzepeli at level 28 . As a flight / ghost type, it has a lot of resistances and is certainly a good alternative for your team.
