A chain builds every time the player captures or defeats a hidden Pokémon of any species. If the player does not capture or defeat the Pokémon (whether the player chooses or is forced to [[escape|flee]], such as by {{m|Roar}}, or the Pokémon escapes, such as by {{m|Teleport}}), the chain breaks. A chain will also break if, outside of battle, a hidden Pokémon appeared and is not encountered (whether by scaring it away, waiting too long, walking too far away, leaving the area, or entering a different battle). The chained Pokémon do not need to be found using the Search function, and the message "The Pokémon couldn't be found. Try looking in a different area!" does not break the chain if received when the Search function is used.

As a chain increases, the Pokémon have a greater chance of having the special attributes that hidden Pokémon can have. The chance of encountering a [[Shiny Pokémon]] also increases, estimated to reach a maximum of 0.5% per encounter after 40 chained encounters. There is thus a 50% chance of encountering a [[Shiny Pokémon]] in approximately the first 130 encounters of a chain.
As a chain increases, the Pokémon have a greater chance of having the special attributes that hidden Pokémon can have. The chance of encountering a [[Shiny Pokémon]] also increases when using the DexNav, though there is evidence that chaining may not affect this chance.


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