I'm shiny hunting Magnemite via Space Time Distortions ATM so I've been in the Cobalt Coastlands for several HOURS without ever leaving at this point. I think I've been hunting in the Coastlands for approximately 10 or so hours

And lately I've been encountering Pokemon at inappropriate hours- Drifloon + Drifblim and occasionally Murkrow in daytime, Staravia/Staraptor during nighttime. Dreadwood Haunt is full of the daytime Pokemon except near the shoreline which have Drifloon and only Drifloon. It's been so long that I can't remember but I'm pretty sure Purrlion are supposed to swap with Murkrow at nighttime as well but they hang around too.

Have I somehow bugged my own game by staying in one place for too long?

Or is this an unusual bug for Switch 2 players?

The Pokemon are fine when caught. I've managed to catch 2x shiny Drifloon and 1x shiny Drifblim.

I definitely think their shiny rates are higher than other Pokemon at the moment.

But yeah...is anybody else on Switch 2 experiencing this phenomenon?

I'm making amiibo cards and I may open up an etsy to sell them + all my other Splatoon amiibo cards I've designed because I need a side hustle

Shiver and Big Man were the hardest to separate DX
