==Teaser animation==
When a scout is performed, an animation will play: the player's Poryphone is slotted into a terminal on the counter of [[Tricia]]'s booth, and an antenna grows from the phone. The antenna begins to output a signal and displays a map, indicating that a sync pair is approaching the [[Pokémon Center]]. The camera view changes to the Pokémon Center's front doors, which open with a flash of light.
When a scout is performed, an animation will play: the player's Poryphone is slotted into a terminal on the counter of [[Tricia]]'s booth, downloads some information, and then two propellers emerge from its sides to allow it to float. The phone begins to output a signal and displays a map, indicating that a sync pair is approaching the [[Pokémon Center]]. The camera view changes to the Pokémon Center's front doors, which open with a flash of light.


The animation will slightly change to indicate the lower bound of the star rarity of the sync pairs received in the scout or batch of scouts:
The animation will slightly change depending on the star rarity of the sync pairs received in the batch of scouts. Certain steps of the animation may display differently if there is at least one 4★ or 5★ sync pair in the batch. However, only the final step of the animation—the doors opening—indicates this reliably, as the light coming through the doors will always indicate the highest star rarity of any sync pair received in the batch.

** If the Poryphone emits sparks upon touching the terminal, causing the background to turn rainbow, and a parabolic antenna appears, then the batch includes a 5★ pair.

** If the doors emit several rays of light and rainbow-colored shards, the batch includes a 5★ pair.

Starting from version 1.5.0, any 5★ sync pair that is scouted will have an image and a quote appear before the sync pair itself appears. This image, called a mindscape in internal data, is the same background image displayed during the character's sync move animation, and the quote is usually a quote from the character in a [[core series]] game. While the mindscape is the same for any sync pairs that the character forms in the same outfit, the quote is unique to each sync pair.
 
If the sync pair is from the [[Hisui]] [[region]], a special animation of a [[space-time distortion]] will play after the mindscape and quote appear, indicating that the pair has arrived from the space-time distortion.


As previously mentioned, if the player scouts a sync pair they have already recruited, then the sync pair receives an increase in level to their moves. Once the sync pair's move level is maxed out to level 5, if the player again scouts that sync pair, the player will instead receive a {{mas|List of items|power-up item}} corresponding to the sync pair's original number of stars.
