This basically means you can catch Pokemon that aren’t found in Alola normally in the wild including classic starter Pokemon like Charmander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur and so on, though it’s limited. You can only scan 10 QR codes a day and you only get one attempt to catch that Pokemon, so be careful not to knock it out. You’ll also want to be careful and considerate of where you use your Island Scan. If you use it on Melemele island, the first, you’re going to find lower-level Pokemon. If you do it on later islands, levels will also correspond.
What’s The Point Of Scanning Qr Codes In Pokemon Sun And Moon Not all non-Alola region Pokemon are available through Island Scan, but a number are – including some of the classic starter Pokemon from previous generations of the series. Scanning a QR code marks that Pokémon as “seen” in your PokéDex.
