When you enter ecruteak city go left until you find a house go inside and you will find a man inside the house answer yes to his question and you will get an itemfinder try finding hidden items in ecruteaks burned tower
somewhere in Ecruteak city. a boy has got it. go into one of the houses
you cant. you have to guess. it drives me nuts.
The itemfinder only works when there is a secret item around the surrounding area try using it where snorlax used to be after you woke it up and caught it/defeated it you will find an item called leftovers.
If you find an item with the itemfinder underwater, look for a patch of slightly lighter sand. go beside it, face it and press A. you should get the item in the sand. Hope this helped! Shinin
Find snorlax then stand in the exact spot where it was then use the itemfinder and you will dig up a item it is the leftovers.
The itemfinder will point you in the direction of where hidden items are press A in that direction to find the item.
Open every item lying around and make good use of your ItemFinder. You can also find them in the underground.
if you use the itemfinder there will be a blackglasses item. show it to him and he will say that those aren't his glasses, and he will walk off
You don't need to dig to get an item if the itemfinder responds. All you have to do is follow the signals on the itemfinder until you reach the spot where the item is. Then you press the space in front of you, or next to you and you should pick up the item.
Face the spot where the item is buried and click A, or use the Item Finder on top of the spot.
Press use to use the itemfinder and if it dings you have found something. Walk in the direction you are facing then use the itemfinder again. continue until the itemfinder starts shaking wildly and press A facing the spot and you will find something.
Well firstly you obtain the itemfinder from prof oak's aide if you have about 30 Pokemon (I'm not sure) in vermillion to the far east. (The guard house if i could call it that). Now a fine example of using it is when your in a underground tunnel. First you go on your items menu and just click itemfinder then use. It would respond either "Yes itemfinder is responding" or "Nope, itemfinder isn't responding". How to get the item is quite simple, just face the ground where you think the item is and hit a and you should get a item, unless your wrong. I think the itemfinder has a range of four squares around you (one square is one of your steps)
The itemfinder works when it finds a secret item around your current area for example on One island if you go south you can reach a treasure beach using the itemfinder you can spot hidden items and dig them up. Also if you use it where snorlax and Giovanni and mr fuji used to be you will find super secret items.
You may have meant itemfinder go east of vermillion city go in the big building go upstairs and talk to the scientist he will give it to you only if you have 30 Pokemon recorded in your pokedex.
