i'm not 100% on all of this and it's kind of second-hand, but it should be less wrong. most notably: the search level is completely irrelevant.

A crown emblem may appear in the upper right of the DexNav, to indicate the player's progress. If all of the wild Pokémon in the area are in the player's Pokédex, the crown will be platinum. If the only missing Pokémon are foreign species unlocked by the defeat of Groudon/Kyogre, the crown will be gold. If the player is missing Pokémon from only one of the encounter methods listed above, the crown will be silver; if from two, the crown will be bronze. Otherwise, there is no crown. | |||

Tapping anywhere on the DexNav screen except the non-silhouetted menu sprites themselves (but including the crown) while there is magnifying glass present will display a message based on the number of Pokémon the player has obtained from a particular area. The message depends on the player's available methods for wild encounters, so will exclude Pokémon encounterable via surfing if the player doesn't have Surf, and will exclude Pokémon encounterable via fishing if they have no rods (although no distinction is drawn between rods for this purpose). If the player has owned all the Pokémon they can with their available methods, the message "Good job! You've caught them all!" will be displayed. If the player has owned all the Pokémon they can with their available methods except one, the message "Nearly complete!" will be displayed. Otherwise, the message "There are still Pokémon in this area that you have not caught!" will be displayed. | Tapping anywhere on the DexNav screen except the non-silhouetted menu sprites themselves (but including the crown) while there is magnifying glass present will display a message based on the number of Pokémon the player has obtained from a particular area.

As the player's chain increases, wild Pokémon are more likely to have these traits. | |||

Of greater interest to the player is the length of their "chain". Chaining works similarly to the [[Poké Radar]], though it's much easier to keep a chain unbroken. | |||
Every time the player encounters a hidden Pokémon of any species for any reason, the chain increases. As the chain increases, have a greater chance of having special attributes mentioned above and indicated with an exclamation mark. The chance of encountering a shiny Pokémon also increases, anecdotally estimated to be a 50% chance within the first 130 encounters of a chain. | |||
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 of 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!" | |||
The chain length isn't exposed directly to the player, but it can be roughly estimated. The level of hidden Pokémon increases by one each time the chain increases by five, 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 fifty. 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. | |||
