D/P pokemon swarms.

[krishnath]

this thread is for people listing their daily pokemon swarms as they get them. This is mostly so that we can eventually see what swarms are the most common, which are more uncommon, and which are rare (like the fabled Beldum Swarm). It is also for discussing swarms, and sharing tips on catching the various swarm pokemon.

Today for example, I got Drowzee as my swarm, so I will write it as thus:

Swarm: Drowzee.

Swarm: Doduo..I think I will check again soon.

Sweet, try and get a shiny one. It's lime green. ^^

Does swarming increase the chances of finding a shiny?  

[blue_man_of_destruction]

I wasnt able to. My swarm pokemon today was Skitty.(originally)


I found out how to change swarm pokemon. I got on to check my swarm pokemon at 12:00 and it was Skitty. My older brother asked to play Animal Crossing on my DS (since he doesnt have one) so I let him while I layed down and fell asleep. He TT's(TimeTravels) so he had reset the time on my DS. I wake up a few hours later and cant remember if I checked my trophy garden pokemon, and I was impatient so I kept pressing A while it started up and since I was saved right in front of Dawn's sister so told me my swarm pokemon was Krabby.

Well, the Swarming Pokemon becomes common on the route that it is said to be swarming in, but only for the day that it swarms (It is unobtainable otherwise). So using this knowledge, one can easily chain them with a pokeradar, which would increase the chance of meeting a shiny considerably, depending on the lenght of the pokeradar chain. Without using the pokeradar, the chance is the same as normally finding a shiny pokemon.

My swarm today: Surskit.

The time on my DS was October 31 2008 >.>

okay, that makes sense. Speaking of that timetraveling thing, couldn't you just set your DS ahead a day and get a new pokemon? I did that once to catch Drifloon on a thursday, my friend wanted me to trade him one.....

Sounds probable.

However, time-travelling does have its downsides. You may loose planeted berries for one, and each time you change the Clock in the DS, the transfer from GBA to D/P countdown clock resets to 24h.

Almost forgot:

Todays swarm: Lickitung

yeah, that is potentially a problem....however, if you're not transfering pokemon (I REALLY need to get the national dex, I should be doing that rather then being online....) it seems to work.
