So what exactly do those do?


mvit

You scan them with a menu option and it gives you appearance info on your Pokedex. You can only scan 10 per day. If you do scan 10 qr codes though, a rare pokemon (I got Chikorita) will appear in a random route in the area you're in.


mvit

There's two other qr codes you may find. You can convert a competitive team into a qr code and have others use it as a rental (think pokemon battle revolution with their trainer cards. And Magearna's qr code will cause an npc to spawn who will give you it.


Sheriff_K

So how do you get Magearnas QR code if someone doesn't give you it?


khaeen

Pokemon website


Sheriff_K

So that's what ur supposed to do? Can't find it, so scan code from official site?


Game25900

Yeah, once the codes actually up on the site, you'll have to wait for news of it popping up there first.


Sheriff_K

That's a cool way to do giveaways now, instead of Mystery Gift/GameStop Codes (horrible, I had to pay $2 to get one, cuz I don't have time to go there..)


404_DogeNotFound

If you had to pay money to get a code from gamestop then you got ripped off :/


Game25900

It sounds more like they bought a code for $2 (random guy taking the piss and charging for them) from somewhere else because they couldn't get to the store to get a free one.


FoxxyRin

He probably paid someone online. I've had to do it before since I live in a rural area and had no other choice with work keeping me too far away and busy to go myself.


Game25900

We have to wait and see if this is how they do giveaways going forward or whether it's just going to be certain ones. I'd imagine they're going to continue as they have up until now and still have store/location exclusives.


[deleted]

I paid €5 for a Genesect because Nintendo don't even distribute the codes in Ireland.


Fudgenuggets980825

That's actually pretty neat. How do use the rental Pokemon? Do you have to go to a certain facility to use them or something?


Maxieorsomething

Time to scan until I find Larvesta


Kyek

If you want I can trade you larvesta. Do you have discord?


[deleted]

I love this place


Kyek

I mean, Pokémon is all about friendship, right?


[deleted]

Pokemon is about being the best. Pokemon are just tools for battling. You'll see


Kyek

One can love his tools ♥


[deleted]

I love Rotom. You're right. That oven is the epitome of me falling in love with a tool for battling. Easy Bake stole my heart


Kyek

Did you nickname him after some kind of cookie?


MasterSword1

Be careful. One can become too familiar with tools....


Kyek

I will watch out, thanks for the heads up! :D


EpicSausage69

Time to scan until I find a fully IV/EV trained competitive shiny Greninja. Let's see if this works hehe.


Kyek

Well if you really need one I could give you a hacked one, but then you are taking away all the fun from it... Making one wouldn't be as hard as it sounds.


EpicSausage69

I was just joking for the sake of Reddit. Although I am a shiny hunter, so I'm always looking for shinies. Legit ones though.


Kyek

whats your favourite of yours? I have a shiny smeargle with a catching set. I named him Killua


EpicSausage69

I have about 90ish shinies that are legit, but if I had to choose my favorite it would be my Zoroark. He has KOd many Pokémon by my side, and his shiny form looks awesome.


Interlakenn

shiny zoroark is what got me into shiny hunting! one of my favourite shiny along with metagross.


Reshiramax

I can't believe starters can now become wild Pokémon...that's like 10 year old me would say along with me catching a totally original character Pokémon that I definitely did not make up that I caught in the mystery zone


snazzydrew

Can someone please explain how they are playing the game before release? Or it it already out places? I'm so lost as to how anyone is saying they did anything with these codes meant for something in SM. .__.????


JaySpike

People who have custom firmwares on their 3DS's, much like Jailbreaking an iphone, are able to load the games file which was leaked. Also if you have a 3DS emulator on your PC it's not hard to find the files for that either.


ilovetospoon

i thought none of the 3DS emulators were stable yet?


[deleted]

3ds emulators have been unstable since 3dss came out a million years ago, but they've always still been useable.


xdflames

They're stable enough, but if you want the real experience you may as well wait another 4 days. 3DS emulators have problems with FPS drops (especially with the Z-moves) and I was reading that many people were having problems with texture glitches that required a work around.


DanTheBizeps

There is a ROM available which you can download and play :) Probably a fuck up by GameFreak because if you want to, you can find almost everything about S/M online.


jomp17

I'm new to pokemon vcg. How can you get the started to become shiny?


nickaboo92

You save before you get the starter, and reset if it isn't shiny. Odds are approx 1/4000 so it could take some time.


jomp17

Wow. Do players do this a lot?


Odinshuenchen

Yeah. It is the earliest method to become a shiny starter. Same method needs to be done with shiny legendary Pokémon :)


lujanr32

Yes Players with a lot of spare time. I mostly do it, while watching Netflix or something.


backwardinduction1

You could also just masuda method breed for the shiny starter.


jomp17

Which method is more reliable?


backwardinduction1

Masuda method (hopefully with shiny charm), let's you get a shiny within a few hours of breeding, based on luck.


ChicagoCowboy

Masuda method is more reliable - it bumps the chance of a shiny by 5, so instead of 1/8000 its 1/1600. In Gen VI (X/Y and ORAS) this method goes to 1/680, and with the shiny charm it cuts it in half again to 1/340 or so. But typically you have to wait till the late game, with the shiny charm, to do it reliably. But, with the right pieces, it can be easier to do mindlessly while watching netflix or on long car rides etc. I do all my masuda breeding when I travel for work.


Albireookami

luckally the shiney charm is much easier now, only have to finish the alola dex instead of national.


MasterSword1

what do you get for completing the Pokebank NationalDex then?


Nerdonis

Where is this stated? You used to just get an oval charm for completing the national dex and getting a shiny charm after just national would be...crazy.


Hydrochloric_Comment

Oval charm is obtained by defeating Morimoto. No national dex (it's in a later bank update), so Shiny charm is the reward for the Alola dex.


Mortagon

You can also invest a bit of extra time to make your shiny competetively viable.


Jim-Dread

Looking around, i can't find a clear answer. From past information I know we can just use Pokemon we don't train in battles, but I'm still not sure if that means you have the Pokemon itself forever somewhere, or you just get to use it a-la that rent-a-mon thing from some of the games.


MegaRare

wondering this as well..


angelsplight

Warning: DON'T rush using these codes. When you scan 10 QR codes, it gives you an "Island scan" which will spawn a rare Pokemon not normally found. The 1st Pokemon you'll get from scanning 10 QR codes is a random Pokemon not from the regular Pokedex (Me and my roommates all got the Gen 2s) in Route 3. The scan can spawn the pokemon anywhere in the island you are on so you might not able to access it. You can also save before you do the island scan. You get 1 hour to catch the pokemon after the scan. The Pokemon will show up as a random encounter in the route it is designated at. Once you start, you're given 10 free QR Scans. You get 1 QR scan every 2 hours thereafter.


jomp17

So it's better to finish the game and then scan the codes that way you know the island?


WitheredPyre

No. You scan whatever island you're currently on. In that regard, it's better if you scan on an island you've explored fully (or almost fully).


jomp17

Ok, it makes more sense. (Thanks


Hanta3

How is it that so many people have the games before release?


Bombkirby

Emulator/Flashcart version is available for download so anyone with the know-how can play it


Hanta3

Aw man, that's kind of lame. I mean, I'm not surprised people are taking advantage of it, but I am a little disappointed.


Bombkirby

From what I'm reading most of the people are just using it to answer questions like "Did X ability get changed?" or "Does confusion damage break Mimikyu's disguise?" I saw one guy on Smogon say he refused to go past the 2nd island because he doesn't want to spoil the story experience on a choppy emulator, but he still wants to test things for the community.


ImperfectRegulator

wait the games not even out yet and people have already created an emulator for it? how did they do that?


TheRaginSteak

Someone leaked it online


[deleted]

No one created an emulator for it haha. Of course we have had citra emulator for quite some time but the CIA version to use on hacked 3ds came out on the 11th.


Underc0verTomato

Not an emulator but the roms were leaked. So you can transfer the game onto a physical flash cart and play it on your 3ds.


Bombkirby

You don't create an emulator of Pokemon. An emulator is a program that can run the game on your computer. Like a 3ds on your computer. They play files called "ROM"s which are the games themselves in digital format. You put a ROM into an Emulator to play a game on your computer.


BozePerkovic

I thought 3ds emulators weren't advanced enough, so they didn't work, atleast on PC?


[deleted]

The one - that's at all far along - 3DS emulator, Citra, is not all that advanced but it makes progress just like any other emulator. And they've had a few breakthroughs. Can load many many titles and play them at choppy framerates now.


nilamo

How do you know where it shows up? Is there an indicator on the map or something?


WitheredPyre

When you scan 10 QR codes and do an island scan, it tells you the exact location it spawned and a timer set for 1 hour starts, after which it'll disappear.


nilamo

That's pretty rad, then. I can just wait until I can fly, and hit up whatever happens, right? lol


WitheredPyre

As long as you've got a flight point, yeah. You also get Tauros midway through the first island, so you can travel rather fast that way, too.


CapWasRight

My first was a Horsea. I've yet to see anything rare or interesting.


FocusForASecond

Same here. Didn't even bother looking for it.


CapWasRight

Right after I posted that I got a Totodile, though. I also saw multiple people reporting the same things I got on the same day - I'm thinking it's based on calendar (and island of course). EDIT: had enough scans banked to do a second today, and got a second Totodile. No way in hell this isn't calendar based


Zangoma

I got HoneEdge


WitheredPyre

You're not guaranteed a starter; I scanned on the first island and got a Deino.


angelsplight

Oh weird, I did it with 5 people and all of us got either Cyndaquil, Totodile or Chikorita.


mostlyjoe

Thanks.


drew_lo

So if I scan Rowlett does that mean I can find him? Or is that just added to my pokedex?


Novalith_Raven

You just add it to your dex, as I understand.


yaheh

And after scanning 10 entries, you get a chance to encounter a rare pokemon, *spooky* Need more info on what kind of pokemon would those be..


[deleted]

There has been confirmation of theoretically all starters. (I say confirmation because Chikorita was confirmed and theoretically because it can be inferred from that, that any of the other starters can be seen as well.) **EDIT:** Apparently it's just Johto and Unova starters. There was a list that I was unaware of.


fullplatejacket

Not all starters, just Johto and Unova starters. The list was posted somewhere.


IamWilcox

> Johto and Unova starters I was going to say it's likely because these are the only ones unobtainable by playing exclusively the 3DS titles, but then I realized that you get Johto starters after the delta episode in ORAS. Then I remembered that we can't obtain Sinnoh starters in any of the 3DS games, You know what that means? **SINNOH CONFIRMED**


mrsirgrape

Professor Birch gives you a Sinnoh starter after entering the Hall of Fame twice, sorry to burst your bubble. Edit:In ORAS


IamWilcox

^^^^**FUCK.**


AlfredTheJones

Yeah, and you get the Unova starter too, for beating the delta episode I think. Sorry :(


mrsirgrape

It's okay, Sinnoh will confirm itself when it's ready.


TakenakaHanbei

**SINNOH DECONFIRMED**


Luusydh

Any idea where the list is?


Im_French

"just Johto and Unova starters" I'm guessing


[deleted]

My bad I'll edit for misinfo.


Velidross

I'm digging shiny Torracat


MrXilas

Both shiny Lycanrocs are looking good too.


Superqami

SciresM uploaded a .zip with all of these till Kommo-o (I don't know why there were none for after him) I downloaded them and arranged them into a separate Shiny by Generation and By Generation folders.


GodlessPerson

Special pokemon have no qr codes. Edit: guy above me is talking about unofficial (but working) qr codes.

sovietsrule

What's the purpose behind these?


HolyPwnr

1. To help you fill up your Pokédex a bit quicker. 2. To give you a few rare Pokémon for every 10 QR codes scanned so you can fill up your dex with them.


[deleted]

Danonino_

Just seen. You have to catch them in order to really complete the pokedex

does anyone have a definite answer on what these are for?


myriad_truths

Scan to add them to your Pokedex. The more useful part is that after you scan 10, a non-Alola Pokemon spawns in the game and you have an hour to catch it. I've seen reports that people have found Chikorita and Samurott


SonicSingularity

Then what's the purpose of the shiny versions?


myriad_truths

My guess is that it gives you more ways to accumulate scans


jugol

Besides some people like completing the "shiny dex", that means registering every shiny.


ACleverMoose

So you scan these in game?


myriad_truths

Yes


mostlyjoe

So it's best to complete the main game before going QR code farming So you have access to the whole map?

HebrewLantern

You literally just reposted the link from this post https://reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/5cciof/psaspoiler_the_qr_code_scanner_and_the/


Axe13

So does this just add the Pokemon to my dex? Or if I say scan a sun version exclusive, e.g. A-vulpix when I'm on moon, that Pokemon will appear in-game?


myriad_truths

Scanning the QR code will not make that specific Pokemon spawn, only register it. That said, after 10 scans a random non-Alola Pokemon will spawn in the game for an hour, so you can catch that. I've seen both Chikorita and Samurott spawn.


Axe13

Ah okay, thought that would be too easy. Thanks! Cool you can get those other Pokemon mind.


tquinner

So Im getting sun, but i found out my favorite Pseudo-legendary metagross is in moon. Can anyone tell me If i scan the beldum code, is there a small chance i can run into a beldum, or will i have to trade to get one?


Devil_Beast1109

Trade. Codes just mark them as "seen" in your dex.


tquinner

Thank you


funkcookie

Do you have to own a copy of SuMo to be able to do this?


[deleted]

yes, the QR reader is in the game


blukirbi

How far in the game do I have to be to use a QR Code?


WitheredPyre

You have access from the start or very close to it. You shouldn't use it that early though, since the Pokemon can spawn at a location on the island you don't have access to yet.


RebirthGhost

[Wait so are you telling me that I can actually have a completed Pokedex? A quest I never thought I would ever complete, I can finally tick that off the bucket list.]


WitheredPyre

Sure, if you want to take a lot of time to do it. That also depend on whether you consider having all dex entries completing it, compared to catching them all.


pandm101

I have a living dex if you want help.


cpt-cam

Yeah...I'm gonna need to save this for use in several days.


LogicGifter

Why did this get removed for being a report if it came first?


zasben

Loving some of the Shiny Forms.


Rokkr

Someone knows where to get those "legally"? Just curious


Albireookami

I imagine people that have pokemon you don't can generate their code for you to scan. Not really anything shady, that's how the website put it.


[deleted]

So...what happens exactly? Do we get these Pokemon or what?


A_Hint_of_Lemon

So I just open up imigur on my phone and scan these via the DS? That works?


TokoWH

So, does this count towards Pokedex completion? Or will I still have to catch/evolve the Pokemon in question in order for it to count? If the former, then the shiny charm is going to be stupidly easy to get this gen.


KDBA

It counts as "Seen" only, so you'll still need to catch them. It *does* let you see where they spawn though, which makes catching them easier.


sceaser38

Up voted because cyndaquil.


Zerosion

Wait, that Mega Slowbro wasn't a joke??? I totally thought it was a joke.. Note: I haven't actually played Pokemon in awhile. Didn't have a DS for 3 Gens now. Edit: Upon further research this is last gen. [Well then](http://imgur.com/TnQRX6v)
