• Wait until a Friday after you have defeated Team Galactic at the Valley Windworks.
• Return to the Valley Windworks on a Friday between the times of 10 AM and 7:59 PM.
• If you have done this correctly, Drifloon will appear in front of the Valley Windoworks building.

Once Drifloon has appeared you will simply need to approach and interact with it. This will cause a battle where you can catch it as you would a normal Pokémon encounter. Do NOT try and change your Switch's time as this will not work and will lock you out of any time-based events for 24 hours.
