Advancing time in Pokemon Scarlet is pretty simple! Just hit the home button on your Switch, go into system settings, scroll down to 'System', select 'Date and Time', and turn off the automatic synchronization. Then, just change the date or time to whatever you need it to be. This trick helps you skip ahead for certain events or to catch specific Pokemon that appear at different times!

Can confirm the date and time method works a treat! Needed to evolve a Rockruff into Lycanroc Dusk Form and speeding up the clock got me there. Don't see it as cheating; it's just being resourceful ;)

Honestly, changing the system's date and time feels a bit like cheating to me. Just play the game as it's intended, folks! There's plenty to do without messing with the clock.
