Hey, out of curiosity, can you only get one of each Pokémon from the Dream Radar? I'd like to think that one can get more than one of each Pokémon. LittleOmu (talk) 03:56, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

  • Yes you can get more than one of each. I've gotten a Munna, and then 3 Drifloon. I am not sure about the Legendary Pokemon, but I would think you can only get one of each. Nothinglord (talk) 22:40, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

Availability

Okay, we need to put some more info on this article. I've played for about an hour total, and ive found about six Swablu, two Minna, two Sigilyph, and one Drifloon, plus Tornadus. Also, I had Platinum Version in the DS slot the entire time, and Giratina did not appear. Could a few more people please help with the availability?

Thanks. I'm not really good at templates and stuff. KyuremsIceBlade (Talk) (Contribs) 12:22, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Upgrades

Should we also include a section about the upgrades to the goggles/machine, and the minor plot of capturing Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus? I just wanted to ask first because I'm still not very good at editing main pages. KyuremsIceBlade (Talk) (Contribs) 02:06, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Levels

I got a level 20 riolu from it? It says that they should be level 10 Grass is the best (talk) 11:05, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Huh, that is a bit unusual. I remember reading somewhere that it was based on the number of badges a player has. How many badges do you have? (Just to make sure.) Super goku (talk) 22:57, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
Sorry, I wrote that it was level 10. The badge thing makes much more sense, I guess it just turned out that way for me. KyuremsIceBlade (Talk) (Contribs) 19:24, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

Patterns

Sometimes I know which Pokémon I'm about to catch because the circle moves a certain way. For instance, whenever the circle gets smaller, then bigger, then smaller, I always get an Igglybuff. Whenever the circle is tiny and dodges all over the place I always get a Rotom. Whenever the circle appears, disappears and reappears, it's always a Swablu. Of course sometimes it's an item, but whenever a circle moves a certain way, it's literally always that Pokémon. KyuremsIceBlade (Talk) (Contribs) 11:20, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

  • I agree, it does seem certain Pokemon have certain patterns (like Swablu teleporting). I caught a Porygon tonight -- you can't mistake one of them. Tiny size, moves about erratically in a sort of stop/go fashion. Toughest Pokemon catch yet (even more so than the legendaries)! --Stratelier 03:23, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
    • Rotom, Porygon, and Rare Candies all seem to share the same pattern - tiny, dodgier than a Double Team Snow Cloak in a hailstorm, and breaks free rather easily.

Gender distribution?

Either I won the Random Number God's lottery tonight, or all Pokemon caught in the Dream Radar are female. After sending three Riolu and one Swablu to my White 2, I checked my PC box and discovered they were all female (which would otherwise be a 1/1024 probability). Can anyone confirm? --Stratelier 03:30, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

I've gotten plenty of male Pokemon from the Dream Radar --V4Victini (talk) 04:52, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
So I wonder what the ratio gender distribution is ... if this were the PGL Dream World, getting four females (out of four) would be a 1/256 probability. And since the Dream Radar (unlike the Dream World) doesn't disclose genders in advance, I'm assuming BW2 calculates that info at transfer/receive time.... --Stratelier 18:29, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
I just transferred another batch of six to my White 2 - a Rotom, Spiritomb, Munna, Igglybuff, and two Swablu - and when I checked my PC all of them (save Rotom) are female (a 1/32 probability). This cannot be coincidence; there has to be an explanation... but what? Can anyone post specifics from your experiences? --Stratelier 18:46, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
