Short and to the point: You can't 'officially' skip time in-game without messing with your system's clock. Doing that might mess with other time-based events though, so do it at your own risk!

Honestly, just changing your Switch's internal clock does the trick. I've done it a ton for events and haven't hit any major issues. Sure, it feels a bit like cheating, but when you need that one night-time Pokémon and can't stay up, it's a lifesaver.

Oh, the ol' time skip in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet? Easy peasy. Just open the main menu with the X button, then head into the System Settings. Look for "Date and Time" and turn off the 'Set Automatically' option. Now, you’re free to change the date and time to whatever you wish. This can help you catch specific Pokémon that appear at certain times or speed up events. Just remember to switch it back when you're done unless you want your phone wondering why you're living in 2045.
