How often should dexnav work?

Apr. 10, 2016

Do I need to take a certain amount of steps like it was for the pokeradar, can I just sit there hitting search and eventually get something? The situation that has me frustrated is trying to find koffing in fiery path (I’m trying to find one with Toxic Spikes). I search and search with no result, taking half a dozen or so steps each time, then suddenly after 2-3 steps something else triggers the dexnav, and my concern is wether this is resetting some unseen counter.

To use the DexNav efficiently, I would recommend you use the Acro Bike and jump by using ‘B’. This counts as a step, and make sure you go away from the grass to stop other Pokémon triggering. It seems that special Pokémon (Those with Abilities and Moves) appear around Search Rate 20. And there is not an amount of steps you need to take, if that answers your question
