Guide to QR Scanning/Island Scan
Pokemon Sun and Moon lets you scan in QR Codes to register Pokemon to your Pokedex to learn its location in the game.
There are three pages featuring the QR Codes for Pokemon:
You can also scan random QR codes to see Pokemon not in Alola and still earn points toward Island Scan:
I wanted to take some time to clear up some misconceptions about Island Scan and provide a list of which Pokemon appear at which time. I have seen a lot of websites that detail how to use Island Scan and provide a list of QR codes to scan, so I won't do that here. I've even seen one outlet claim they found a Bulbasaur in Melemele Island.
​
But here is a list of every Pokemon you can collect while using Island Scan:
First, you need to boot up the Island Scan from you 'X' menu and scan QR codes from various sources (here is all the QR codes for every Pokemon https://imgur.com/a/EFOqs).
​
Next, scan ten different codes to start finding new Pokemon. You can only scan all 10 codes at the same time but they operate on chargers, meaning each charge takes 2 hours to recharge. For example, I can use all 10 of the scans, use Island Scan, find and catch the Pokemon. After the ten have been used I must wait 20 hours for all 10 scans to come back up or wait 2 hours use 1 scan, wait 2 hours us another, etc.
