Bestfriends Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 (edited) Swarms in PokeMMO (2nd Edition) Before you read this guide, I would like to thank @Guizmobese for your work here on the Swarm Documentations. Feel free to check out the First Edition of this guide. Also, if you would like to see what normal encounters look like, then feel free to check out the Pokemon Encounter Index for PokeMMO. What is a swarm? In PokeMMO, a swarm is a wild group of Pokemon. It appears at a given place at a given time for a limited time. A swarm is composed of 4 Pokemons that appear in overworld as sprites. Sometimes, Pokemons appear outside their usual location. Official presentation of swarms by PokeMMO. This is the official presentation from PokeMMO. We can see: - Top Left : Absol swarm at Lost Cave (Kanto) - Top Right : Vileplume swarm at Route 230 (Sinnoh) - Bottom Left : Wailmer swarm in the sea (unknown place) - Bottom Right : Scyther swarm at Route 14 (Kanto) Why are swarms useful? A swarm is an easy way to catch a Pokemon outside its usual location. Somtimes swarm are composed of Pokemon you can't find in the wild. Where do swarms appear? As far as we know, a swarm can appear in many places: grass, cave, routes (even without grass), sea, lakes, Power Plant, Pokemon Mansion, and even cities What Pokemon could be in swarms? We haven't seen enough swarms to have an accurate list of what Pokemon can appear in swarm. But we think there is no limit as the Pokemon is available in the game. We noticed some kind of combinations. The pokemon that appear and its locations seem to be linked Notable appearances: Magnezone (at Power Plant), Dusknoir (at Memorail Pillar), Lapras (in the sea), Chansey at Route 15 in Kanto, etc. When does a swarm or swarm(s) appear? As far as we know, a swarm can appear at any time of the day or the night. How long do they appear? We don't know precisely. Usually 20 minutes (IRL Time) How to know if there is a swarm active? There are two ways to be aware of a swarm and its location Check your Town Map and a System Message should pop up. As a note, Unova does not have the pokemon's icon active. Spoiler Kanto Spoiler Hoenn Spoiler Sinnoh Spoiler Unova Spoiler Johto Spoiler Some Questions... Do swarms appear for everyone? Yes. Are IVs the same for everyone? No. How many swarms a day? We don't know for now Have swarms better shiny rate? No. This has been answered by official PokeMMO Facebook page. What do we still don't know... Many things!!! We would like to: - write a full list of Pokemon from swarms - write a full list of places where swarms appear - be able to know if a moment in a day is best to see a swarm appears How can I contribute? Feel free to drop a comment on this guide of any swarm pokemon that are missing on the list or locations that were not covered in this guide. Once the swarm is noted, then you will be credited just like the Community Pickup Guide (2nd Edition).

In vermilion, we take notice of swarms occuring in city. Not happen in Middle of vermilion, but in bordes of him, that have water. Usually, is Wingull Swarm(Other swarm isn't catalogated.) . So, it's only one "City Swarm". Hope that i helped. Edited February 11, 2022 by caioxlive13 Bestfriends 1 Link to comment

SaKuRaluv Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Thank you for this guide! Can you remove this line "Pokemon from swarms often have good IV stats." since it might make people think pokemon from swarms have a higher chance of better IVs (that's only for phenos). Link to comment
