Be Acquainted With Pokémon Sun And Moon's QR Codes

Each Pokemon creature has its unique QR code that must be scanned to automatically register them in a player's Pokedex. Once the player has them in their Pokedex, they can now see where the specific Pokemon will appear in Alola. According to Digital Spy, This is one of the preliminary steps a Sun and Moon player needs to snag the Alolan Championship.
Get Rare Pokemon Through Island Scan Feature
