Noa swarm is not the only way you can get a Dunsparce in Generation IV.

You can get a Dunsparcenormallyor by usingRock Smashin Pokémon Heart Gold and Soul Silver inDark Caveon theViolet City Sideof the cave.

Note: There is only a1%chance ofencounteringa Dunsparcenormallyin the cave.

Although Dunsparce has an80% encounter ratewhen usingRock Smashto smash rocks inside the cave. If you do not encounter a Pokémon when using Rock Smash in the cave you may instead get an item. This would either be a Red Shard, a Blue Shard, a Green Shard, a Yellow Shard, a Heart Scale, a Revive, a Max Either or a Star Piece.

Hope I helped :)

Considering Gen IV includes Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Heart gold, and Souls Silver, you can get it other ways than via swarm. First is to transfer it over from one of your gen 3 games, but you can also catch it in Dark Cave in the Gen 2 remakes. And the other other way to get it is, yes, via horde D/P/Pt.
