Learn about Trophy Garden, daily Swarms, and Pal Park transfers in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl after obtaining the National Pokedex.
Trophy Garden:
- After obtaining the National Pokédex, the Trophy Garden expands.
- Speak to the owner of the mansion in the right wing to get up to two Pokémon to appear.
- You can manipulate which Pokémon appears by saving before you talk to the owner.
- There is no time limit on the Pokémon; the earliest one will not change as long as you do not talk to the owner.
Swarms:
- After obtaining the National Pokédex, Swarms will begin to occur on certain routes in Sinnoh.
- You can find out which Pokémon are swarming by talking to Dawn's sister in Sandgem Town, or by watching TV (which may require sitting through other content).
- Swarms change every day at 12:00 AM.
- Saving and reloading will not change the Pokémon that appears in a Swarm; it is always fixed for the day.
Pal Park:
- Also after obtaining the National Pokédex, the Pal Park opens on Route 226.
- You can transfer Pokémon from your Game Boy Advance (GBA) games to Pokémon Diamond and Pearl every 24 hours.
- You must wait a full 24 hours to transfer from a specific GBA version again. For example, if you transfer at 7:25 PM, you must wait until 7:25 PM to transfer from that version again.
- Warning: If you alter the Nintendo DS system's clock, it will reset the 24-hour timer to the time you last changed the clock.
Tips
- Saving before speaking to the Trophy Garden owner is key to manipulating spawns.
- Checking Dawn's sister daily is the quickest way to learn about Swarms.
- Be mindful of the 24-hour cooldown for Pal Park transfers and avoid changing your DS clock.
