→Hidden Pokémon: So that's why I'd never seen one naturally before. Get the Balance Badge and they appear as frequently as in grass. For water at least, this is also reflected in the dialogue of the Fisherman of Route 118.

Hidden Pokémon occasionally appear while the player is walking; these Pokémon can be selected from any of the Pokémon that can be found outside of Horde Encounters in tall grass normally. This is represented by the Pokémon making its [[cry]] while rustling around in a grass patch, typically with one of the Pokémon's appendages sticking out of rustling grass (often shadowed), although some Pokémon appear in different ways while rustling (such as {{p|Voltorb}} appearing as a yellow glow, or {{p|Shuppet}} appearing as a purple wisp). Pokémon which normally only appear in [[Horde Encounter]]s in that location will not appear at random. The player can also force hidden Pokémon to appear with the search function. | Hidden Pokémon occasionally appear while the player is walking; these Pokémon can be selected from any of the Pokémon that can be found outside of Horde Encounters in tall grass normally.

Hidden Pokémon that appear in [[tall grass]] will remain stationary; hidden Pokémon that appear in the [[Water tile|water]], in [[Sand tile|deep sand]], and on [[Cave tile|cave tiles]] will warp around the location, but in a set area and only on those same kinds of tiles. Pokémon in water must be encountered by {{m|Surf}}; [[fishing]] will ignore any appearance of a hidden Pokémon. | Hidden Pokémon that appear in [[tall grass]] will remain stationary; these kinds of hidden Pokémon will begin appearing as soon as the player obtains the DexNav<!--or maybe after the player is noticed by Brendan/May watching the hidden Poochyena-->.

If a hidden Pokémon appears near the player, the DexNav will react. If the DexNav is in the Nearby Pokémon view or the Found Pokémon view, it will automatically change to the Hidden Pokémon view; if the DexNav is in the catching progress view, it will display a blinking magnifying glass centered in a red circle; if it is not the active application, the DexNav tab will be overlain with a magnifying glass centered in a red circle. If the player taps the DexNav while it is reacting in such a way while it is in the catching progress view, the DexNav will enter the Hidden Pokémon view. | If a hidden Pokémon appears near the player, the DexNav will react.
