Pokemon Brilliant DiamondandPokemon Shining Pearlplayers will have a lot of new Pokemon to discover once they defeat the Elite Four and its Champion, andreceive the National Dex from Professor Rowan. Unlocking the National Dex requires players to see every single Pokemon in the Sinnoh Pokedex, which can pretty much be accomplished by fighting most trainers throughout the main story.
Once trainers unlock the National Dex, they need tospeak to Dawn/Lucas in Sandgem Town. They will mention that their little sister, who lives in Sandgem Town, knows about Pokemon Swarms. After speaking to her, Pokemon Swarms will become available for trainers to find. And players won’t need to speak to the sister to see where the swarms are, as they will appear daily in the main menu and will change out every day.

How to Catch Swarm Pokemon in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl
Once players make it to the Swarm location, they should immediately see the Pokemon popping up in the overworld in multiples. If trainers attempt to touch any of thePokemon to go into a battle, it won’t seem to work. However, to catch one of the Swarm Pokemon, players don’t need to physically touch the Pokemon; they can just capture it normally from the tall grass, but there’s still a chance for other Pokemon to appear.
