DexNav: Difference between revisions

This view shows which wild Pokémon in an area the player has already owned or seen. Those that have been owned have their full menu sprite displayed, while those that have only been seen only have their silhouette displayed. These sprites are placed on a unique and representative snapshot of the area rendered using [[Generation III]] tiles, with the name of the current location shown in the bottom-right corner. Different rooms in a [[cave]] or building are considered separate areas by the DexNav.

When there are wild Pokémon, tapping anywhere on the progress map (other than the parts covered by owned Pokémon's sprites) will display a message reflecting the amount of Pokémon in the area that the player has owned; this message only evaluates Pokémon that are encountered via fishing after the player obtains a fishing rod, only evaluates Pokémon that are encountered by Surfing after the player has the Balance Badge, and only evaluates encounters that exclusively appear as hidden Pokémon after the player defeats or captures {{p|Groudon}}/{{Kyogre}}. The default message is: "There are still Pokémon in this area that you have not caught!" If the player is only missing one Pokémon, the message will be, "Nearly complete!" If the player is missing no Pokémon, then the message, "Good job! You've caught them all!" will be displayed if the player has not yet caught or defeated Groudon/Kyogre, or the message, "Amazing! Fantastic! You caught every possible Pokémon in this area!" will be displayed if the player has.

After defeating or capturing Groudon/Kyogre, Pokémon not in the [[List of Pokémon by New Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]] will begin showing up on catching progress maps. These Pokémon will not be recognized as appearing in that area in the [[Pokédex]]'s habitat view and can only be encounteredd as hidden Pokémon.

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 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."

*[[Tall grass]] and {{DL|tall grass|long grass}}, {{DL|tall grass|seaweed}}, [[cave tile|cave encounters]], or [[sand tile|deep sand]] (including any [[Horde Encounter]]s)

The crown shown will have different colors depending on the number of encounter types in the area the player has completed. Prior to defeating or capturing Groudon/Kyogre, these colors are (in order): bronze, silver, and gold. If the player has completed all of the methods above, the crown will be gold. If the player has not completed one of the methods, it will be silver. If the player has not completed two, the crown will be bronze.

After defeating or capturing Groudon/Kyogre, the player can also obtain a platinum crown. If the player has owned all Pokémon that can only be obtained as hidden Pokémon in the area (if any) in addition to all wild Pokémon that appear in an area by all of the above methods, the crown will be platinum.

Within ring 0 (in red in the image on the right), the hidden Pokémon will become scared if the player enters a tile without sneaking. In other words, in order to enter the range where the DexNav can display a hidden Pokémon's information, the player must usually sneak. The exception is any of the tiles that are four paces directly north, south, east, or west of the Pokémon: the player may enter these spaces without sneaking, but if they do not sneak when leaving them, the Pokémon will be scared off.

*Hidden Pokémon can be 10 levels higher than the level otherwise possible in that area. If a Pokémon is at a higher level due to this, an exclamation mark will appear next to its level.

**By chaining hidden Pokémon, a separate bonus of up to 20 levels can also be reached (making the total possible bonus +30 levels).

As the player builds a chain of hidden Pokémon, the Pokémon found will be more likely to have these traits.

The level that hidden Pokémon appear at increases by one for each five successive encounters. Every 100 encounters, this level bonus resets to zero.
