If you have the DexNav up on screen, you’ll be pinged with a PokeBall symbol that lets you know there’s a Pokémon nearby that has special abilities, rare moves or other features that might make you want to have it in your team. It’s a new Pokémon search feature that highlights all the available Pokémon to catch in a specific area and will also give you a buzz when there are rather special wild Pokémon to be found.
