Swarms are one of the many ways that players of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl can obtain Pokémon that are outside of the Sinnoh Dex, especially Pokémon that are exclusive to other regions.
Every day on a particular route, a "swarm of Pokémon" appears. By this term we mean that the probability of finding the given Pokémon grows from 0% to 40%, making this very easy. Swarms last only one day and are random events. However, the player can obtain information about the current swarm by talking to, depending on their own gender, Dawn's or Lucas's sister in Sandgem Town, or seeing the news report on a TV.
Due to higher catching rate of swarming Pokémon, they make longer and better chains when using Poké Radar.
The species that swarms seems to be determined using a formula, because it's not chosen randomly when the player starts the game that day. It's also possible that the species is determined the day before, though there is no additional evidence to support this. If the DS clock is changed (or a different DS is used?), then the game will detect this and will not change the species swarming until "midnight".
