Available Pokemon

Discover which Pokémon are available via Island Scan in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, with locations and days for each starter and rare catch.

Alright, so you're diving into Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon and want to know which special Pokémon you can snag using the Island Scan feature? It's a super cool way to catch Pokémon that don't normally show up in the wild, especially those classic starters! Let's break down what you can find on each island.

Melemele Island Scan

Kicking things off on Melemele Island, you've got some real throwbacks here! Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur are all available, which is awesome for any old-school fans. Plus, Horsea can be found, and if you happened to grab that Dragon Scale from Ryuki in the Kantonian Gym, Horsea can evolve into a powerful Kingdra. For the completionists out there, Scatterbug is a must-catch to start collecting all those different Vivillon patterns.

Pokemon	Day	Location
Charmander	Sunday	Route 3
Squirtle	Monday	Seaward Cave
Onix	Tuesday	Ten Carat Hill
Horsea	Wednesday	Kala’e Bay
Scatterbug	Thursday	Hau’oli City
Bulbasaur	Friday	Route 2
Litwick	Saturday	Hau’oli Cemetery

Akala Island Scan

Hopping over to Akala Island, the Hoenn region starters are waiting for you! Ralts is a fantastic pick, and so is Beedrill, mainly because they can Mega Evolve later on, which is a huge power boost. If you're looking for a Pokémon with some serious strategic depth, Honedge is a great choice. You can evolve it into Aegislash, a Pokémon that can brilliantly switch between attacking like a maniac and defending like a fortress.

Pokemon	Day	Location
Ralts	Sunday	Route 6
Spheal	Monday	Route 7
Combusken	Tuesday	Route 8
Honedge	Wednesday	Akala Outskirts
Beedrill	Thursday	Route 4
Grovyle	Friday	Route 5
Marshtomp	Saturday	Brooklet Hill

Ula’ula Island Scan

On the vast Ula’ula Island, the Sinnoh starters make their appearance. You'll also find Pidgeot here, which is definitely worth catching if you're aiming to use its Mega Evolution. And remember that Protector item you might have gotten from Kiawe’s dad? If you give it to Rhydon (which Rhyhorn evolves into), you'll get Rhyperior, a powerhouse!

Pokemon	Day	Location
Rhyhorn	Sunday	Blush Mountain
Swinub	Monday	Tapu Village
Prinplup	Tuesday	Route 16
Grotle	Wednesday	Ula’ula Meadow
Pidgeot	Thursday	Route 10
Monferno	Friday	Route 11
Axew	Saturday	Mount Hokulani

Poni Island Scan

Finally, we reach Poni Island, where the Kalos starters show up in their fully evolved forms! Mega Evolution fans will definitely want to grab Aggron. And get this – Rotom itself is available as a Pokémon you can actually use in battle! How wild is that, considering its role in the Rotomdex? It’s a fun little nod to the series.

Pokemon	Day	Location
Eelektross	Sunday	Poni Grove
Aggron	Monday	Poni Plains
Rotom	Tuesday	Poni Gauntlet
Leavanny	Wednesday	Poni Meadow
Chesnaught	Thursday	Exeggutor Island
Greninja	Friday	Poni Wilds

So there you have it! The Island Scan feature is your ticket to catching some really cool and often hard-to-find Pokémon across all the islands. Make sure you're checking the right day and location to snag the ones you want!
