As the player continues to chain with the DexNav, hidden Pokémon will gain a bonus of one extra level per five encounters, until they are 20 levels higher than normal. At this point the level bonus starts over from zero, though the chain is otherwise unaffected. Additionally, some hidden Pokémon will have a fixed bonus of 10 levels, indicated by an exclamation mark; however, these Pokémon can change locations much faster than normal, and are typically much faster to flee if left alone. | ||

A chain is broken when the player leaves the area (including entering a building), encounters a wild Pokémon that isn't hidden, or moves too quickly and scares away a hidden Pokémon. Encountering hidden Pokémon that appear on their own accord (without using Search) does not break the chain; neither does the message "The Pokémon couldn't be found. Try looking in a different area!" | A chain is broken when the player leaves the area (including entering a building), encounters a wild Pokémon that isn't hidden, or moves too quickly and scares away a hidden Pokémon.

The level of hidden Pokémon increases by one for each five successive encounters, so if the player knows the expected level of wild Pokémon, they can use the level of hidden Pokémon to gauge the length of the chain. When the level of hidden Pokémon resets to normal, the chain must be a multiple of one hundred. The Search Level is also helpful here, since most players will chain for a single Pokémon at a time: simply track how much the Search Level has increased during the current chain. | ||
