The exclamation mark, from what I gathered, is used to signify a pokemon with a significantly higher level then the other ones found in the area.

I don't know how to use the DexNav either. When it's on in the bottom screen I can see silhouettes of which Pokemon I can find in that area and that's about it. How do I unlock all these other bits of info? Sneaking is fun for a while but whenever I sneak up on a Pokemon it doesn't appear to be anymore 'special' than a regular one of its kind. What am I missing?
@Dieter; The DexNav will only work in the desert and caves once you get Surf, which will also unlock Surf sneaking and such. So once you get Surf, then the DexNav can be used to hunt down anything. However, even so, you won't always track something down right away. I spent a goodly amount of time hunting for a good Numel in Fiery Path via DexNav, but not every search came up with something. You just have to be persistent.
@lugia61617; Caves are a bit different than grass. It's similar to the swirling dust feature back in Gen V, only it keeps changing positions. Even when you get a "lock" on it, if you're not quick, it'll shift to another nearby spot and if it goes on too long, it'll run away. The idea remains the same: use the DexNav to search for a certain Mon, it may or may not appear right away, but when it does, you have only a little time to track it down and encounter it before it bolts. Caves and the desert are more likely to run than grass for some reason, so you do have to be quicker than normal. But it works the same way as tall grass, just with the changing locations bit thrown in.

Wait, what?

SURF.

Oh my God I'm in love with the DexNav. I'm intentionally catching/soft-resetting for Pokemon with ideal Natures for their species to turn my in-game team into a competitive team later on, and I'm currently looking for an Impish or Bold Skarmory, and instead of relying on the 5% appearance rate like in the past, I can press "Search" in the DexNav and have one automatically appear in a shaking patch of grass with new moves, higher levels closer to my team (in the high 20's range instead of the 16-18 range in a route).
Can you reset EVs?

You don't need surf to use DexNav in caves, unless you're looking for pokemon in the water.
I only have 2 badges, and have found lots of pokemon in Granite Cave.
