Is it still possible to encounter Darkrai and Shaymin in Pokémon Platinum?

Question

I found my old DS with a copy of Pokémon Platinum, and I was wondering if I could somehow encounter Darkrai and / or Shaymin someway. I did activate Mystery Gift. Can I set the time of my DS to 2009 or something to claim those event? And if not, is there any way of doing this? I do own a R4-Gold Cart with some possible cheats, but I want to only use that if there are no other ways to do it legit.

Is your cartridge Japanese? There's a way to get a legit one but it only works if your cartridge is Japanese.

No it is a normal one :(

Well. That crosses out the Tweaking glitch. Tweaking takes 3 hours to do anyways.

I know the tweaking glitch doesn't work in Platinum, though there might be another way.

No. There is no legit way to get them, since mystery gift events are only around for a set amount of time, though, if you already have the gifts and never picked them, up you could encounter them, but if you never got the gifts, then I guess you'll have to resort to hacking then.
