Infinite 100% Drifloon encounter

[Knolmos]

Do you know that Drifloon that sometimes appears at Valley Windworks? Yhea, so you basically can encounter it as many times as you please, catch as many times as you wish and defeat as many times as you want. A pretty easy shiny hunt that costs nothing but pacience and time just like that one Volcarona in the desert some time ago before getting fixed.


As you can see even after I've fought with it, it stays there and you can fight it again. You either defeat it or catch it since you cannot run. I dont know if it is shiny locked but still is something that needs to be fixed quickly.

Note: If you leave Valley Windworks the Drifloon will disappear.

I tested it and it seems to have the same gender each time you encounter it, so it might be shiny locked. I can't really think of any reason why this would be exploitable. 

 

An easier way to shunt Drifloon/Drifblim is to encounter Drifblim hordes on Route 13 (Night) in Unova using Sweet Scent.

I am getting different gender/natures, would this mean not shiny locked?
