How QR codes work in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon There are a few caveats to the system - and it will take you some time to scan then all - but below we explain everything you need to know about Island Scan and Gen 7's QR code functionality.

Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon's Island Scan feature works similarly, unlocking after you use the regular QR Scanner a certain number of times, only this one allows you to find and actually catch Pokémon in-game. Version No.Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon QR codes are by far the easiest way to fill out the "seen" aspect of your Alolan Pokédex, granting you the ability to simply scan a code - we have a full list below - and register that Pokémon as "seen" there and then. The more points you get, the better the version of Poké Finder which allows for you to get better pictures and a better score.

The points aren't just a useless feature for bragging right, but are in fact used in order to improve the version of the Poké Finder. The better each of these, the more points you will receive. These points are higher depending on how rare the Pokémon is, how close you are to the Pokémon, the position of the Pokémon, their pose and so forth. This will put it through a comment system where various anonymous NPCs will comment om the photo, sometimes relevant comments about the Pokémon such as it possibly "Cursing" you, or "7.8 Too Much Water", or other times it mirrors the Internet and gives nonsensical nonsense irrelevant to the photo such as asking for lunchĪfter this irrelevant exchange, you will then get points by Rotom. When you have the photo taken, then you can get it analysed. The Poké Finder can be controlled either with the 3DS's Gyroscope, or using the 3DS Circle Pad and you can save your favourite photo from each session onto your SD Card to share on other formats and social media. Other times, the Pokémon will just be still and show you their back. Sometimes, the Pokémon will stop or laugh, or make something posable which will create a better picture. The mode is quite simple, with Pokémon appearing in the area, often running/flying around, and requiring you to follow them around in order to get a picture. This feature is unlocked when you get to the Hau'oli City Tourist Center In various spots in the game, you'll be able to take pictures of wild Pokémon in various locations that you look out to with your Rotom Pokédex. The Poké Finder is a returning feature once again.
