Dowsing Machine

The Dowsing Machine, known as Dowsing MCHN from HeartGold and Soulsilver to Generation V, is a device introduced in Generation IV. It replaced the Itemfinder and is later replaced by the Stoutland Search Poké Ride.
==Effect==
In all games, the Dowsing Machine is used to locate hidden items. The way it locates hidden items differ between games, however.
===Diamond, Pearl and Platinum===
In Diamond, Pearl and Platinum, Dowsing Machine is a Pokétch app, obtained from Dawn/Lucas at Route 207.
====Descriptions====
*Pokétch No: 07
*Basic Info: "The Dowsing Machine app locates unseeable items."

===HeartGold and SoulSilver===
Since HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Dowsing MCHN is a key item.
===Black, White, Black 2 and White 2===
===X and Y===
In X and Y, the Dowsing Machine is held by the player and no longer uses the bottom touch screen to function. Instead, it displays two beams of light, which changes angle and color depending on how close the player is to the hidden item. It goes from blue, green, yellow to red, and if the light is red, it means that the item is in front of the player.
Using the Dowsing Machine forces the player to walk in grid lines, and thus the player cannot use Roller Skates or Bicycle and Dowsing Machine at the same time. The Dowsing Machine cannot be used in some places like inside buildings.
===Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire===
The Dowsing Machine is instead worn on the head. There are two electrodes which functions the same as in X and Y: it glows in blue, green, yellow and red depending on how close the player is to the hidden item.
Like in X and Y, the Dowsing Machine forces the player to walk in grid lines, and the Dowsing Machine cannot be used when riding an Acro Bike or a Mach Bike, or when diving. Additionally, the player cannot sneak while using the Dowsing Machine.
