Pokémon Dream Radar Discussion Thread [Read First Post]

Um, so my color for my next session isn't Green, Blue, Orange, or Pink. It's...red.

How do you even get a color like that?

[spikyearedpichu]

God!! When are they (Nintendo / Gamefreak) are revealing the final codes...hello Gen. 6 have been reveal!

[cybersonic233]

I need to know how rare it is to encounter Togepi. I have like 3 SpiritTombs, but no Togepi. And 4 Smoochums.

im having the the same problem with Smoochum have around 25 Togepis

Did anyone else not know that shooting clouds when they're bigger will yield more orbs? I had no idea until I read it online- the professor didn't mention it until I'd caught Landorus.

I've gotten back into this a bit. I stopped for awhile after catching Tornadus, so I could figure out how to back up my card so I could 'SR' for good legends, but now I've gone ahead and caught all 3 legends so I can 'SR' all 3 at once.

I'm wondering about the backing up part. I completely copied the card's contents onto my computer so far. Now, I've got a B2 and a W2. I'm planning on transfering everything to B2, then copying the backed up data onto the card to do my 'SR'ing on W2. This will work, right? I'm assuming it will, but wanted to check before I screwed it up.

Also, how far along in the game do you need to be to transfer stuff?

Hmm...well I noticed the color of cloud next to the dowsing extension is red. Were you using that mode, perhaps? Or maybe red is when the number of different colors is tied.

From what I've read, yes. I can't imagine why it wouldn't work. You won't lose anything from giving it a shot, at least, as long as you've backed up your SD card.

Okay, so to get Landorus you need 3,000 orbs. Does that include orbs you've spent?

[BCVM22]

Yes. The game doesn't give you a running tally until after you've caught Landorus, but that 3,000 figure does include orbs you've obtained and spent.

So, for example, if you collected 2,000 orbs without ever spending one and then spent every last one of them, taking your total down to 0, you'd still only need to collect 1,000 more orbs (as opposed to needing to recollect the 2,000 you just spent as well).

[AndyRedGold]

Thanks! Now I can have hopes!

[PsychicPsycho]

Ok, can someone tell me the best way to get pokemon/items out of the storm clouds, instead of just orbs? I've tried shooting them only when they're yellow, only when they're gray, going back and forth between the two, shooting a pink cloud before shooting each storm cloud, and other stuff, but nothing seems to get consistant results. What's the best way? Or is it totally random?

Also, does the time spent capturing the pokemon effect the item earned when using the Eureka extensions? That is, does a faster time yield a better item?

Shoot when yellow, and use the Pokemon or item expansions.

Edit: I'm not sure about the times, but you can use those bottom screen items (except time recharge is useless for that), to get better times, but I have a question about that.

Here is the question:

When one tries to best one's time for the Therian Formes, does the dragnet item become in any way useful. I know the vortex is pretty much the way to go, but perhaps you can "corner" the Therian Forme if they come out of your camera range, or does vortex work for that too?

[Shiny Bulbasaurrr]

I think it's a bit rubbish how on a DS game it has something that can only be accessed with a 3DS. Gonna need one for 6th Gen though so gonna take the plunge soon.

[SpaceVoyager]

Hi guys. I have Black 2 and have transferred all three Therian forms to it. I'm going to purchase White 2 soon and would like to have the Therians on it too. I only have one 3DS with Dream Radar on it. So do I have to delete and redownload Dream Radar to get the Therians on White 2?

hmmm, im really not sure, i would google it.

Ive had dream radar for a long time, but i just recently got B2 so i just got the motivation to actually play it, while it is a mini-game, it is pretty good. So far i only have tordadus, but im really close to getting thundorus,

[B-Rabbit]

Okay i just got Tornadus Therion form. Its nature is rash with Quick Tempered as its little status.
So what will the best way to train this be?

(Update) Got all therion forms, plus also got a Sacred Ash which i didnt even know was available in the radar!
