What are Swarming Pokémon?

Swarming Pokémon events are the successor the defunct Buneary Madness, which was last held in 2014. First introduced with Swarming Bunnelby for Easter 2017, the challenge is to capture as many swarming Pokémon as you can by the end of the time limit. The event durations have varied from 24 hours to 72 hours and events have been hosted for Easter, Halloween, and Shrimpy's birthday.

Due to the success of the first Swarming Pokémon event, Swarm Saturdays was also introduced as permanent reoccurring challenge on the RPG.

Details

During a swarm event, escaped Pokémon randomly appear on pages of the RPG. If you spot one, you can click the image. A page appears with a captcha code. After entering the correct code, the Pokémon is logged as being caught by you. Rankings can be checked along with the number of Pokémon logged under the Swarming Pokémon tab in Challenges.

The Pokémon will look like this: [1]
