Learn how to find Pokémon in the Trophy Garden, daily swarms, and Pal Park transfers after obtaining the National Pokédex in Pokémon Platinum.
Trophy Garden:
- After obtaining the National Pokédex, the Trophy Garden expands.
- Talk 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 start to happen in certain routes in Sinnoh.
- You can find out about swarms by talking to Dawn's sister in Sandgem Town (quickest way) or by looking at the TV (may have to sit through other content).
- Swarms change every day at 12:00 AM.
- Saving and reloading does not change the Pokémon that appears; it is always fixed for the day.
Pal Park:
- Also after obtaining the National Pokédex, the Pal Park will open on Route 226.
- You are allowed to transfer Pokémon from your Game Boy Advance games every 24 hours.
- You must wait a full 24 hours to transfer from a specific GBA version again (e.g., if you transfer at 7:25 PM, you must wait until 7:25 PM to transfer from that version again).
- If you alter the Nintendo DS system's clock, it will restart the 24-hour timer to whenever you changed the clock.
Tips
- For the Trophy Garden, save before speaking to the owner to reset the Pokémon if you don't like the options.
- Check Dawn's sister daily for the quickest swarm information.
- Be mindful of the strict 24-hour cooldown for Pal Park transfers to avoid resetting the timer by changing your DS clock.
