Swarms, how do they work?


Recommended Posts

I recently started playing again doing a challenge and noticed some pokemon can be caught early on through swarms. But then I noticed swarms are kinda not documented on forum. Few minutes ago there was a Phanpy swarm in Kanto Victory Road, but ingame pokedex doesnt say anything about it. So my question is, is there a list of every swarm pokemon available and how often do they occur.

I have noticed that in some cases Swarm brings mons that don't normally come from said route. If im not mistaken it also ups encounter rate but I can be wrong due to Illuminate already does that. 

Pretty much. If you're looking for a swarm, NPC TVs also have hints for where they are. But these mons can also be found in other places (usually another region) so it's not that special.

Swarms existed before their normal locations were added to the game (in other regions), it is very old content few people use anymore so my memory is somewhat iffy but Kanto TV's will tell you if a swarm is occuring. (or at least they should.)
