A Pokémon Navigator (Japanese: ポケモンナビゲーター Pokémon Navigator), more often referred to as PokéNav (Japanese: ポケナビ PokéNavi), is an electronic device found in Hoenn. It was produced by the Devon Corporation under the orders of Mr. Stone, who wanted to find a way to keep track of a Pokémon's feelings. Mr. Stone gives it to the protagonist of Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald for recovering the Devon Goods from Team Aqua or Team Magma. They appear to be small, compact-disc-shaped devices. It was introduced in Generation III. The counterpart to the PokéNav is the Pokégear inJohto Region, the Pokétch in Sinnoh, and the C-Gear in Unova.
In the anime, Max has a PokéNav he received as a traveling gift from his parents. The main function is the map which slightly reduced the number of times that Ash got lost. In the Ever Grande Conference, it provided all the latest battle results along with statistics on each competitor.
They are chiefly useful for Coordinators to keep track of a Pokémon's status for Contests.
Functions
Map
The PokéNav displays a map of Hoenn, along with the current location of its owner. It's also possible to zoom in to display a basic layout of towns and cities with important buildings differentiated by color.
Condition
The PokéNav checks the Cool, Beauty, Cute, Smart, and Tough condition of Pokémon in detail. It can be set to search only through party Pokémon, or all Pokémon owned combined.
Trainer's Eyes
In Ruby and Sapphire, the PokéNav will keep track of 69 unique Trainers and alert the user when they want a rematch. The only requirement is that the player must have obtained five badges first. It also has information on Gym Leaders and Pokémon League members, though they cannot be battled through this function. There exists a hidden game mechanic that means the more often the player steps on to the route or cave where any of these unique Trainers are located, the greater chance the opponent Trainer in that area will be ready for a rematch. The amount of time for this effect to take place occurs at random.
Match Call
In Emerald, the Trainer's Eyes is replaced by the Match Call. In addition to the features of the Trainer's Eyes, it allows its user to call anyone who has had their PokéNav registered with theirs, similar to the cell phone feature of the Pokégear. An advantage the Match Call has over Trainer's Eyes is that after any of the unique Trainers are defeated, they identify themselves and have their number listed, which makes it easier to know where they are. The Match Call can also keep track of more Trainers than Trainer's Eyes, including having a few other non-Trainers like the player's mother and Prof. Birch listed and allows rematches with Gym Leaders.

Ribbons
The PokéNav will display the Ribbons the Pokémon have acquired, either via Contests or special events. This function can only be unlocked when a Pokémon gains a ribbon.

In the anime
Max receives a PokéNav in the episode There's no Place Like Hoenn given to him by his dad as a traveling gift and to guide them in their journey across Hoenn. Another function of the PokéNav, as seen in the episode Shocks and Bonds, can also identify various Trainers like Clark. In The Right Place and The Right Mime, Tracey upgrades Max's PokéNav so it can locate the Battle Frontier facilities. Scott, the owner of the Battle Frontier, also has a PokéNav.
In the manga
Ruby is the first main character to use this device, and first receives a PokéNav from Wally as thanks for helping him catch his first Pokémon, a Kecleon. Like in the games, it contains information regarding the map of the Hoenn region, and can view a Pokémon's condition stats, and its current level. The latter feature was used especially by Emerald for his Battle Frontier challenges, as while he had no interest in Pokémon Contests like Ruby did, it was needed to see levels and stats for the borrowed Pokémon from the Battle Factory.
In the TCG
The PokéNav appears as a card at EX Crystal Guardians set.
Trivia
- In Emerald, despite not being able to call Scott while he is in the Battle Frontier due to it being out of the service area, any Trainer except Scott may be called from the Battle Frontier, and other Trainers may call the player.
