Why am I finding Baltoy instead of Gible using DexNav?

Question

I’m doing the dexnav thing and it’s always baltoy or the cactus thing. It’s never gible and I even caught kyogre.

EDIT: Asker is probably referring to Route 111.

Comments

The "cactus thing" is Cacnea.

GIble is a huge pain to find, as with the other pseudo legendaries in oras. It's probably just rng as that's how pokemon works anyway. If you're looking for a certain pokemon, it very rarely appears but once you caught it, it becomes very common

Answer 1

Gible is a Hidden Pokemon, which means it's generally going to be harder to find. Cacnea and Baltoy, on the other hand, both have a 20% encounter rate. Finding it the first time is always the hardest, due to having a low Search Level for the Pokemon. You have already defeated Kyogre, so it should show up eventually. You're simply getting bad RNG.
