QR Code patterns are specially encoded patterns that can be used in some Pokémon games. QR Codes have many different uses.

QR Scanner
- Main article: QR Scanner
QR Code patterns designed for the QR Scanner contain information about different Pokémon. They also accrue points to be used for Island Scan. There are three types of patterns for the QR Scanner.
Alola Pokédex QR Code
Alola Pokédex QR Codes are produced from a registered Pokémon's Pokédex entry in the Rotom Pokédex. QR Codes for "special Pokémon" cannot be produced this way. These QR Codes record a Pokémon as seen in the player's Pokédex if it is not already.
Although these QR Codes are meant to encode Pokémon from the Alola Pokédex, the format supports almost any Pokémon, including special Pokémon and Pokémon outside the Alola Pokédex.
Special QR Code
Special QR Codes are distributed for other official Pokémon uses. These also record a Pokémon as seen in the player's Pokédex if it is not already. Some of these QR Codes may be region-exclusive.
Moncollé Get figures feature region-exclusive Special QR Codes on the bottom of their stand.
A unique Magearna QR Code also unlocks a Magearna that the player can receive in their game.
Wonder QR Code
Wonder QR Codes are any QR Codes that are not specifically an Alola Pokédex QR Code or a Special QR Code. This includes Battle Team QR Codes, competition QR Codes, or random QR Codes completely unrelated to Pokémon. These QR Codes display a Pokémon that is not native to Alola, based on the pattern scanned.
Battle Team QR Code
Battle Team QR Codes allow the player to import a team designed by another player for use in Link Battles (via Quick Link or Festival Plaza), at the Battle Tree or Battle Royal Dome, in Battle Spot Free Battles and some Rating Battles, and in mock battles using Battle Videos. They can be scanned whenever the player is asked to select their Battle Team for a battle in one of these formats. Battle Team QR Codes can be found on the QR Rental Team section of the Pokémon Global Link website. They can also be found on individual users' profiles if they have made any QR Rental Teams public.
Users can create QR Rental Teams from their own profile. The number of teams that can be made public are limited, depending on the user's "builder rank". The user's builder rank increases as more people use their teams.
Friendly Competitions
- Main article: Friendly Competition
Friendly Competitions have two formats: an online/Internet format and a live format. The online format is conducted over the Internet, using the 3DS's wireless functionality. The live format is conducted with nearby players via infrared communication (meaning, in order to battle, the players must place their 3DSs facing each other).
Each format has a slightly different QR Code: a Friendly Competition QR Code and a Live Competition QR Code.
