4th Gen crappy swarms?

[NEOCHU]

im loving Soul silver atm, and next week im gonna be gettin heart gold so i can complete the pokedex to its fullest without cheating, ive traded all but a few of my legendaries over from platinum/pearl as i only have the one DS atm. (borrowed a neighbours :D )

But the swarm pokemon are really irritating me atm, this last week my swarms have been:
monday: Ralts
tuesday: ditto (which i can get with out swarms anyway)
Wednesday: Ralts....again
thursday: maril, something different but again id already got it from the safari zone.
friday: Ditto AGAIN!!!!!
saturday: just went on to check as its past midnight and guess what.....RALTS :sleeping:

is any1 else getting crap like this? at this rate its gonna take forever. my johto pokedex is stuck at 220 because the rest of the pokemon i need are swarmers/not on SS, and 2 that need to be traded (scizor/porygon2)

/sigh guess ill have to wait till sunday.........

Umm... the swarms are excellent! I mean, DUNSPARCE! Seriously? xD

Kidding. I kinda like Ralts when it's fully evolved, though. The game probably wants you to fully evolve the pokemon before you judge their swarms. So far I have Ralts, Dunsparce, Yanma and Qwilfish from swarms, and they can all be evolved to (semi) powerful evolutions except Dunsparce and Qwilfish. I really like Yanmega and Gardevoir, anyway, so I'm happy. See how you feel after you evolve them.

I'm 50/50 on swarms. It depends on the type of Pokemon. For something like Ralts, I'd definately enjoy it.

 

[NEOCHU]

i didnt mind ralts the first time, i cought 4 of em (its sad i know but i like to have one of each evolution in my box, ie: one bulbasaur/one ivysaur/one venusaur and i have em all in national dex order.) and i now have gardevoir and gallade so i really have no need for ralts, Gardevoir has become a part of my team now too, im not saying the pokemon are them selves are crap, but the fact that the same pokemon has come up 3 times in a week when ive got all its evolutions is a little annoying.

Maybe the chances are lower for rarer pkmn?

Sucks how its just a set of pokemon in the swarm. My pokedex count is at 402, and ive caught all pokemon on swarm :/

 

[bassforce288]

yup most swarms do suck gonna have to live with it unfortunately

 

[Mujahid]

OMG !!..took me a month to get a luvdisc swarm to steal those heartscales and then another half a month to get a chansey swarm for lucky eggs...seriously ..i'm cursed when it comes to my desired swarm pokemon

 

[riddleraven]

I've had Dunsparce (ugh), Ditto (hmmm), LUVDISK (heart scales!!!), and clamperl so far. Not super lame. But nothing to get excited about yet either...

I see what you mean.
When you want to complete the Pokedex legit, it can be such a pain.

 

[Future Arceus]

hm....that really stinks for u! i usually get good swarms with few repeats! :)

 

[quack407]

What are swarms and how do you find them

 

[BlazingShadow]

That happened in my Platinum too but anyway I completed the Pokedex but I never tried the swarm on Soul Silver cause now I only got 3 badges hehe.

 

[NEOCHU]

What are swarms and how do you find them

if you put your radio onto professor oaks show after a couple of lines of text mary will say "this is breaking news! a bunch of "x" have decided to make an appearance on route "x"" those are swarm pokemon.

i was pleased that todays was "quilfish" a dull pokemon but one i needed to fill the dex so im happy again. unless Ralts decides to show up again tomorrow, if it does i think im gonna spend a few hours KO'ing them in the hope that they never come back (\(^_^)

I always get crap luck with swarms. Litereally for about 2 months straight on my platinum the only swarms I saw were larvitar and beldum. those are great and all, but once you've caught like 10 of each you start wanting something else.

 

[mpistool]

I want swarms with pokemon who you could get only in that swarm not also in a different route

Lolz it's not sad that you like to have one of each evolution in your boxes. That's how I did it, I love to collect. I have 1 of every pokemon in my boxes, all 493!!!

But I agree, the swarms should be more mixed. When I was still working on my national dex I gave up waiting for the yanma swarm and just transfered one over from Diamond.

Ikr i keep on getting crappy swarms..... of larpers *shudder*

OMG ITS A GRUMPIG

 

[drivr3joe]

i hate it when there is swarms for the common pokemon like magikarp or rattata
