The '''Dowsing Machine''' (Japanese: '''ダウジングマシン''' ''Dowsing Machine''), referred to as the '''Itemfinder''' prior to [[Generation IV]] and as the '''Dowsing MCHN''' in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} and the [[Generation V]] games, is a [[Key Item]] used to detect hidden items in the vicinity of the user. The way in which it detects items and provides feedback greatly varies between games.

In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], the [[Poké Ride|Ride Pokémon]] {{p|Stoutland}} takes over the role of locating hidden items with Stoutland Search.
In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, the role of locating hidden items is given to the [[Poké Ride]] {{p|Stoutland}} Search; in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the {{ga|partner Pokémon}} and [[walking Pokémon]] take the role; and in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], the {{hi|Ride Pokémon|rideable}} {{p|Ursaluna}} takes the role. In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword, Shield]], {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet|Scarlet, and Violet}}, hidden items appear as sparkles in the overworld and do not require a specific locating method.

A form of the Itemfinder has been present in all core series {{pkmn|games}} since [[Generation I]].
 
====Generation I====
====Generation I====
=====Manual activation=====
The Itemfinder is used to find items. When used when the player is not near a tile with a hidden item, text will appear stating that there are no items nearby: "''Nope! ITEMFINDER isn't responding.''" If the Itemfinder is used while a tile with a hidden item is "on-screen", the item will give out four musical chimes, with text stating: "''Yes! ITEMFINDER indicates there's an item nearby.''"
A form of the Itemfinder has been present in all core series {{pkmn|games}} since [[Generation I]].


====Generation II====
====Generation II====
=====Manual activation=====
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the Itemfinder works exactly as it did in Generation I. However, the Itemfinder is now classified as a [[Key Item]] and can be [[Feature registration|registered to the Select Button]], allowing for easy access.
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the Itemfinder is similar to that of Generation I. As with other Key Items starting in [[Generation II]], the Itemfinder can be [[Feature registration|set to the Select Button]] and easily accessed.


====Generation III====
====Generation III====
=====Manual activation=====
Generation III marks the first time that the Itemfinder shows the direction and closeness of an item.
[[File:Bag Itemfinder Sprite.png‎|frame|right]]
 
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, the Itemfinder can be used to find hidden items.
=====Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald=====
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, the Itemfinder retains its previous mechanics from Generation I and II, requiring the hidden item to be "on-screen". However, the player will turn towards the direction of the hidden item after the chimes. The text when an item is near reads: "''Huh? The ITEMFINDER's responding! There's an item buried around here!''"
 
When operating the Itemfinder under normal circumstances, text will appear stating that there is no item around which reads: "''... ... ... ...Nope! There's no response.''"
 
=====Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen=====
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the Itemfinder receives an upgrade in the form of arrows that point towards the hidden item. The amount of arrows is based on how close the player is to the hidden item: Two arrows when the player is five to eight tiles away from the hidden item and four arrows when the player is within four tiles of the item. A musical chime will sound for each arrow that appears. The text used when operating the Itemfinder remains untouched from Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald.


In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, there are some items which require the Itemfinder to be used to obtain them, rather than simply being easier to find using it. These items cannot be detected by the Itemfinder, except when standing on top of them, at which point the item will be automatically obtained. In total, there are six items that can be found using this method:
There are also some items which require the Itemfinder to be used to obtain them, rather than simply being easier to find using it. These items can only be detected by the Itemfinder if the player is standing on top of them, at which point the item will be automatically obtained. When the Itemfinder is used on these tiles, three stars will appear above the player. In total, there are six items that can be found using this method:
* The {{DL|Out-of-battle effect item|Soothe Bell}} in the [[Pokémon Tower]] after having rescued [[Mr. Fuji]]
* The [[Soothe Bell]] in the [[Pokémon Tower]] after having rescued [[Mr. Fuji]]
* The {{DL|In-battle effect item|Leftovers}} on [[Route]]s {{rtn|12|Kanto}} and {{rtn|16|Kanto}} after having fought against each route's respective {{p|Snorlax}}
* The [[Leftovers]] on [[Route]]s {{rtn|12|Kanto}} and {{rtn|16|Kanto}} after having fought against each route's respective {{p|Snorlax}}
* The {{DL|EV-enhancing item|Macho Brace}} in [[Viridian Gym]] after [[Giovanni]] disappears
* The [[Macho Brace]] in the [[Viridian Gym]] after [[Giovanni]] disappears
* The {{DL|Vitamin|PP Max}} on [[Cape Brink]], located on a single patch of ground surrounded by the lake
* The [[PP Max]] on [[Cape Brink]], located on a single patch of ground surrounded by the lake
* The [[Sacred Ash]] on [[Navel Rock]] after having fought against {{p|Ho-Oh}}
* The [[Sacred Ash]] on [[Navel Rock]] after having fought against {{p|Ho-Oh}}
The text that appears when operating the Itemfinder over these spots is, as follows:"''Oh! The ITEMFINDER's shaking wildly! There's an item buried underfoot!''"


====Generation IV====
====Generation IV====
=====Manual activation=====
The Dowsing Machines in [[Generation IV]] are slightly different to those of previous generations; they make use of the [[Nintendo DS]]'s touch screen.
The Dowsing Machines in [[Generation IV]] are slightly different to those of previous generations; they make use of the [[Nintendo DS]]'s touch screen.


In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the [[Pokétch]]'s {{DL|Pokétch|Dowsing Machine}} app replaces the functions of the Dowsing Machine.
=====Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum=====
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the [[Pokétch]]'s {{DL|Pokétch|Dowsing Machine}} app replaces the functions of the Itemfinder. The layout of the Dowsing Machine app is that of a {{wp|Cartesian coordinate system|Cartesian plane}} with the player at the center. The app functions similar to a radar. When the touch screen is pressed, a circle will radiate from the point where the stylus hits and give out a "ping". When an item is nearby, a dilating radar circle will repeatedly appear. If the hidden item is within the radius of the circle, a dot will continuously blink while the radar circle repeatedly appears from the touched area. The app will reset its display upon the player performing any action.  


[[File:Bag Dowsing MCHN IV Sprite.png|frame|right]]
=====Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver=====
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, it is known as the Dowsing MCHN and again uses the touch screen to locate items.
[[File:HGSS Dowsing Machine.png|thumb|256px|The Dowsing Machine as it appears in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the Dowsing MCHN is a [[Key Item]]. It uses the touch screen to locate items, with each grid tile representing a tile on the overworld. Unlike Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, the Dowsing Machine is a circular grid and can be operated while moving. There are four lines around the central grid that will move around when the touched area moves in relation to the hidden item and will light up when an item is near. When touching the grid under normal circumstances, the radius of dots and lines will be dark red and will let out a slow series of lower-frequency beeping. If the player moves near a hidden item while touching the grid, the dots and lines will gradually light up from red to white until the player touches the grid tile representing the tile containing the item, in which a blinking dot will appear; the beeping will also speed up and become higher in frequency in relation to the closeness of the area the player is touching.  


=====Pokéwalker=====
=====Pokéwalker=====

{{main|Pokéwalker#Dowsing Machine|Pokéwalker}}
On the [[Pokéwalker]], the Dowsing Machine is a mini game that can be used to find items. It costs 3 [[Watt]]s to play. In this mini game, the player gets two guesses. If the player gets the first guess wrong, the game gives a message regarding whether the item is adjacent to the selected spot or not.

[[File:Bag Dowsing MCHN Sprite.png|frame|right]]
In {{4v|Black|White}}, it is once again known as the Dowsing MCHN. While it still appears on the touch screen when in use, it no longer takes any input from stylus touches and uses the screen for display purposes only. The bars and an arrow will face in the direction of a hidden item when the player is close. If the player is standing on a tile containing an item, the bars will cross and a square with four small arrows will appear.

====Generation VI====
====Generation VI====
=====Toggleable passive effect=====
In {{g|X and Y}} and {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the Dowsing Machine works entirely differently from previous titles. In both pairs of games, the Dowsing Machine cannot be used [[underwater]] nor in most buildings, and the player cannot ride a [[Bicycle]] or {{m|Surf}} and use the Dowsing Machine simultaneously.
In {{g|X and Y}} and {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the Dowsing Machine works entirely differently from previous titles.
 
=====Pokémon X and Y=====
In Pokémon X and Y, the Dowsing Machine takes the form of two rods that the player character holds in each hand that project the current forward. Once used, the rods project two streams of electric current in the air ahead as the character walks around. This current changes color depending on if the player is facing the direction of a hidden item and how close they are to it. The color cycles through blue, to green, to orange, with a musical chime playing when the color changes to let the player know they are getting close. When the player is directly in front of a hidden item, the electric currents cross each other and turn red, and a different musical chime plays.

When the player is directly in front of a hidden item, the electric currents cross each other and turn red, and a different musical chime plays.
In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the Dowsing Machine is worn on the head with two electrodes protruding from the top. The electrodes change color as in X and Y as the player approaches a hidden item, and the electrodes turn red and vibrate when the player is directly in front of a hidden item. While wearing the Dowsing Machine, the player cannot sneak.


[[File:Bag Dowsing Machine ORAS Sprite.png|frame|right]]
====Generation VIII====
In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the Dowsing Machine is worn on the head with two electrodes protruding from the top. The electrodes change color as in X and Y as the player approaches a hidden item, and the electrodes turn red and vibrate when the player is directly in front of a hidden item. While wearing the Dowsing Machine, the player cannot sneak. The Dowsing Machine cannot be used [[underwater]] nor in most buildings. The player cannot ride a [[Bicycle]] or {{m|Surf}} and use the Dowsing Machine simultaneously.
In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, the Dowsing Machine Pokétch app operates the same way as it did in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.

In ''[[EP181|A Ghost of a Chance]]'', a {{tc|Firebreather}} named [[Infernando]] tried to sell {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} an Itemfinder, referred to in the English [[dub]] as a "Treasure Detector". While the group refused the offer, the machine was soon after bought by [[James]]. He used it in an attempt to find treasures around [[Ecruteak City]], although he ended up just finding bottle caps.
In ''[[EP181|A Ghost of a Chance]]'', [[James]] buys an item called a "Treasure Detector", which is a pair of dowsing rods that are based on the in-game item Itemfinder. He attempted to find some treasures at the [[Burned Tower]].
