The DexNav is a powerful tool on the PlayNav that allows you to find Pokémon with hidden abilities, higher IVs, or even Egg Moves. When you encounter a Pokémon in the wild, the DexNav will register it. By sneaking up on rustling patches of grass or ripples in water, you can encounter 'hidden' Pokémon. The higher your search level for a specific Pokémon, the more likely you are to find one with better stats or a hidden ability. Chain Fishing is another method to find Shiny Pokémon. By successfully reeling in Pokémon consecutively without moving or failing to hook a Pokémon, your chances of encountering a Shiny Pokémon increase significantly. Use a Pokémon with the Suction Cups or Sticky Hold ability at the front of your party to increase your chances of hooking a Pokémon. Both methods are excellent for finding competitively viable or rare Pokémon.
