Where to Find Specific Pokémon in Pokémon Sun?
This is a common question, and the answer depends heavily on the Pokémon you're looking for. Many Pokémon have multiple locations, appearing in different areas depending on the time of day, weather conditions, or even your game progress. Rather than listing every single Pokémon, we'll break down location strategies by area and then highlight some particularly tricky-to-find Pokémon.
Island Scan: Unlocking Rare Pokémon Encounters
Island Scan is a crucial feature in Pokémon Sun. This mechanic allows you to scan for specific Pokémon on specific islands, significantly increasing your chances of encountering rare and powerful creatures. Make sure to utilize this feature regularly to round out your Pokédex! The Pokémon available through Island Scan change frequently, so be sure to check back often.
Version Exclusives: Pokémon Found Only in Pokémon Sun
Pokémon Sun features several Pokémon exclusive to its version. These aren't found in Pokémon Moon, making trading with friends or utilizing other methods crucial for completing your Pokédex. We'll list these Pokémon and their locations further down in this guide.
Finding Legendary Pokémon
Legendary Pokémon in Pokémon Sun require specific steps and often involve completing main story events or side quests. They're not just randomly encountered in the wild. We'll address their specific locations after covering more general Pokémon locations.
