Am I able to change the time to catch Cobalion successfully?

Question

If I change the time to Wednesday, will I be able to catch Cobalion or will the game not allow me to?

Comments

I have been able to successfully change time for timed events in Gen 4 and Gen 6... I don't think I ever did it in 5 but I'd guess it's possible.

So I could change the time and catch my Cobalion in ORAS?

No...? I caught mine in Pokemon Black Version and haven't needed another one since then, but I'm pretty sure it's only available in Gen 5.  Could be wrong though.

Changing the 3DS' clock time to Wednesday will not let you catch Cobalion. On the contrary, it will instead halt all time-based events for 24 hours. It's probably best just to wait, its only two days from now.

@Grime Time is that just for timed events that are a day or more in the future?  I successfully changed the 3DS clock time to get my time exclusive Mega Stones in Gen 6.

Thanks! This saves me a lot of time.
