Rotom Pokédex
The Rotom Pokédex (Japanese: ロトム図鑑 Rotom illustrated encyclopedia), also known as the Rotom Dex, is an electronic device found in Alola and an enhanced version of the Pokédex. It appears in Pokémon Sun and Moon. This special Pokédex is said to be rare, even in the Alola region. While inside the Pokédex, Rotom can speak with the player. It is given to the player by Professor Kukui.
In addition to functioning as a regular Pokédex, the Rotom Pokédex also has other features for the player to use.
Functions
Pokédex
The Rotom Pokédex's main function is to work like past Pokédexes.
Map
The Rotom Pokédex has a map feature that allows players to see their current location, as well as view locations where a Pokémon lives. The Rotom Pokédex helps trainers navigate by picking up information from conversations they have and provides suggestions on where to go next.
Poké Finder
The Poké Finder (Japanese: ポケファインダー Poké Finder) function allows players to take pictures of Pokémon at certain spots. Pictures can then be evaluated. As the player gets higher evaluations and takes better pictures, more features, such as the ability to zoom, will become available.
QR Scanner
Using the QR Scanner (Japanese: ＱＲスキャン QR Scan) feature, the Rotom Pokédex is able to scan QR codes. These QR codes allow the players to register a Pokémon in their Pokédex, allowing them to find that Pokémon's habitat. QR codes can be generated to share with other players, but normal QR codes can be used to generate random Pokémon, including those that do not appear in the Alola Pokédex.
Island Scan

Scanning QR codes gives the player points for Island Scan to search for a specific Pokémon not native to the Alola region. Most QR codes give 10 points, though some QR codes specifically for use with Sun and Moon will give 20 points, and Island Scan can be used when 100 points are accumulated. The scanned Pokémon varies by day of the week and the island the player is on when the Island Scan is performed. An Island Scan ends if the Pokémon is knocked out or not caught within a set amount of time.
