The DexNav's search function searches the nearby area for hidden Pokémon of the selected species. If it finds one, the Pokémon will reveal itself and the DexNav will switch to the Hidden Pokémon screen. | The DexNav's search function searches the nearby area for hidden Pokémon of the selected species. If it finds one, the Pokémon will reveal itself and the DexNav will switch to the Hidden Pokémon screen. If the player is close enough to the Pokémon, the wild Pokémon's name, image, and Search Level are displayed. In addition, other information such as the Pokemon's [[type]] (if the Pokémon has been owned), its first move, IV potential and its ability are displayed. If the wild Pokemon is holding an item, the item it is holding is displayed instead of the Pokémon's ability. If a Pokémon cannot be found, the DexNav will display the message, "It couldn't be found nearby. Try looking in a different spot!" If a Pokémon is not in the area searched at all (for example, if the player walks from a route to a town with a Found Pokémon's screen displaying), the DexNav will display the message, "The Pokémon you searched for isn't here." | ||
The search function is the only way to find Pokémon that are only encountered by fishing or in [[Horde Encounter]]s as hidden Pokémon, since they do not otherwise spontaneously appear as such. Fishing Pokémon that are searched for will appear on [[water tile]]s, and horde Pokémon will appear on any tile where they may appear as a horde. | The search function is the only way to find Pokémon that are only encountered by fishing or in [[Horde Encounter]]s as hidden Pokémon, since they do not otherwise spontaneously appear as such.
