I'm trying to catch a Drifbloon, but it never shows up! I just beat Mars a few minutes ago, I changed the date to the 8th (which is a Friday, FYI), and I tried changing the time to 12 AM, and the damn thing STILL doesn't show up!! WHAT DO I DO?!? |

Drifloon will show up in the Valley Windworks after you've beaten Mars there, but only on Fridays. It appears in a sprite-form, just like any other NPC or person does, and not in the tall grass.
Again, Drifloon only appears on Friday. If you change the clock on your DS to be Friday, it won't work either, because Diamond and Pearl makes you wait an extra 24 hours for any time-based events if you mess with the clock.
If you really need one badly, your best bet is to set the DS clock to Thursday afternoon and then waiting a day.
If you miss out in fighting the Trainer in the Hearthome Gym that has a Drifloon in her team, you will have to see this wild Drifloon in order to complete your Sinnoh Dex, or will have to trade with someone who has one.
One Drifloon will appear every Friday, so you can catch more than one. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I found this at GameFAQs but I'm not sure how totally accurate it is. What I mean is that I messed with the DS clock and it still appeared at a normal time for me, but it sounds like the situation that your in so just follow his instructions and you should be able to get it. |

I changed the day on my DS instead of changing the time, and it worked. Just try setting your DS specifically to any Friday, and it might work.
If not, I have an extra Drifloon if you have Wi-Fi. |

I didn't set a time, I just kept the time the same and picked a Friday on the calendar thingy. |

Sometime in the early afternoon. But I think Drifloon is there all day. |

Great, good to see my game's glitching already. But I just bought it today, so that might be the reason. |

Maybe. I'm pretty sure it'll show up eventually. It's just outside the building, next to the grass patch. |
