The '''QR Scanner''' (Japanese: '''ＱＲスキャン''' ''QR Scan'') is a feature in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] that allows the player to scan [[QR Code]]s to record a Pokémon as seen in their [[Pokédex]]. When enough QR Codes have been scanned, the player will also be able to use the '''Island Scan''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|島|しま}}スキャン''' ''Island Scan'') function to find rare Pokémon. The QR Scanner is accessed from the [[menu]].
 
==QR Code Scan==
[[File:QR Scanner QR Code Scan.png|thumb|200px|The QR Code Scan screen]]
The QR Scanner's main function is scanning QR Codes. Scanning any QR Code records the Pokémon it describes as seen in the Pokédex if it is not already.
 
The player is limited in the number of times they can scan QR Codes in succession. This limit is indicated by a row of 10 scan icons along the top of the 3DS's upper screen. When the player performs a scan, one of these icons becomes darkened. These scans recharge at a rate of one every two hours. If the 3DS's time is changed, the QR Scanner's usable scans will be reset to 0. The same QR Code cannot be scanned twice.
 
Each QR Code the player scans also earns the player points. Any QR Code that was produced by the [[Rotom Pokédex]] is worth 10 points. A few Special QR Codes are worth 20 points. The player can earn a maximum of 100 points, at which point the Island Scan function will be unlocked for use.
 
The Rotom Pokédex can display QR Codes for almost any Pokémon the player has registered, to share with other players. Some "special Pokémon" have no QR Codes in the Pokédex. The QR Code format can also support QR Codes for almost any Pokémon, however, including special Pokémon or those outside of the [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number|Alola Pokédex]].
 
===Special QR Codes===
These are Special QR Codes that are worth 20 points when scanned.
 
Although the five Pokémon below are in the Alola Pokédex, the patterns that would be produced by the Rotom Pokédex differ from the patterns below.

A [[List of QR Code in-game event Pokémon in Generation VII#QR Code Magearna|Magearna QR Code]] was also specially distributed and, unlike any other QR Code, unlocks an event in the player's game where they can receive a {{p|Magearna}}. Also unlike other QR Codes, each of the QR Codes below only works for games from a specific [[region lock|region]].

==Island Scan==
When the player has accumulated 100 points from scanning QR Codes, they can use Island Scan. Island Scan searches the island the player is currently on for rare Pokémon. On Alola's natural islands, it will always find a Pokémon; on [[Aether Paradise]] or in [[Ultra Space]], Island Scan will fail and will not count as a use. The Pokémon it will find depends on the island and the [[days of the week|day of the week]]. These Pokémon are all Pokémon that are not native to the Alola region.
 
When Island Scan finds a Pokémon, it tells the player where it can be found and starts a timer that counts down from one hour. This denotes how long the player will be able to find the Pokémon. If the Pokémon is knocked out or caught, the Island Scan ends immediately even if the time has not run out. [[Escape|Running away]] from the Pokemon does not end the Island Scan timer.
 
If the player runs from and repeatedly encounters the designated Island Scan Pokémon, they do not encounter a single individual, who always has the same [[Nature]], [[Ability]], and other data; each encounter is different, with randomly generated data. Island Scan Pokémon also know specific [[Egg Move]]s (unless the Pokémon has none).

Reason: In other languages for Island Scan
Artwork of the QR Scanner being used

The QR Scanner (Japanese: ＱＲスキャン QR Scan) is a feature in Pokémon Sun and Moon that allows the player to scan QR Codes to record a Pokémon as seen in their Pokédex. When enough QR Codes have been scanned, the player will also be able to use the Island Scan (Japanese: 島スキャン Island Scan) function to find rare Pokémon. The QR Scanner is accessed from the menu.

QR Code Scan

The QR Code Scan screen

The QR Scanner's main function is scanning QR Codes. Scanning any QR Code records the Pokémon it describes as seen in the Pokédex if it is not already.

The player is limited in the number of times they can scan QR Codes in succession. This limit is indicated by a row of 10 scan icons along the top of the 3DS's upper screen. When the player performs a scan, one of these icons becomes darkened. These scans recharge at a rate of one every two hours. If the 3DS's time is changed, the QR Scanner's usable scans will be reset to 0. The same QR Code cannot be scanned twice.

Each QR Code the player scans also earns the player points. Any QR Code that was produced by the Rotom Pokédex is worth 10 points. A few Special QR Codes are worth 20 points. The player can earn a maximum of 100 points, at which point the Island Scan function will be unlocked for use.

The Rotom Pokédex can display QR Codes for almost any Pokémon the player has registered, to share with other players. Some "special Pokémon" have no QR Codes in the Pokédex. The QR Code format can also support QR Codes for almost any Pokémon, however, including special Pokémon or those outside of the Alola Pokédex.

Special QR Codes

These are Special QR Codes that are worth 20 points when scanned.

Although the five Pokémon below are in the Alola Pokédex, the patterns that would be produced by the Rotom Pokédex differ from the patterns below.

Bagon Dhelmise Lapras Mimikyu (Disguised Form) Stufful

A Magearna QR Code was also specially distributed and, unlike any other QR Code, unlocks an event in the player's game where they can receive a Magearna. Also unlike other QR Codes, each of the QR Codes below only works for games from a specific region.

Japanese region QR Code Taiwanese region QR Code American region QR Code PAL region QR Code Korean region QR Code

Island Scan

When the player has accumulated 100 points from scanning QR Codes, they can use Island Scan. Island Scan searches the island the player is currently on for rare Pokémon. On Alola's natural islands, it will always find a Pokémon; on Aether Paradise or in Ultra Space, Island Scan will fail and will not count as a use. The Pokémon it will find depends on the island and the day of the week. These Pokémon are all Pokémon that are not native to the Alola region.

When Island Scan finds a Pokémon, it tells the player where it can be found and starts a timer that counts down from one hour. This denotes how long the player will be able to find the Pokémon. If the Pokémon is knocked out or caught, the Island Scan ends immediately even if the time has not run out. Running away from the Pokemon does not end the Island Scan timer.

If the player runs from and repeatedly encounters the designated Island Scan Pokémon, they do not encounter a single individual, who always has the same Nature, Ability, and other data; each encounter is different, with randomly generated data. Island Scan Pokémon also know specific Egg Moves (unless the Pokémon has none).
