"Pokemon Sun & Moon" players are always looking for the best places to find rare and strong Pokemon in Alola, the Hawaii-based region of the game. One of the four islands, Poni Island, is home to some pretty good Pokemon from across all generations of the franchise, for anyone looking for uncommon Pokemon to stock their teams with.
Poni Island, which is like the other games' Safari Zones, has a lot of different uncommon Pokemon for those willing to make the effort to visit it at the right times. That's because the Pokemon you can encounter on the island change depending on what time of day you visit the different areas of Poni Island in "Pokemon Sun & Moon."
One quick tip to do when you go visit Poni Island is to use the new Island Scan that comes in "Pokemon Sun & Moon." The Island Scan, a new feature in the game that is available after you scan 10 Pokemon QR codes in the Pokedex, spawns one rare Pokemon every day, and using Island Scan in Poni Island will net you a high-leveled rare Pokemon, according to Digital Spy.
News Everyday lists down the kind of Pokemon you can get in the different areas of Poni Island. For example, coveted Pokemon in "Pokemon Sun & Moon" Wimpod and the Alolan Exeggcute can be found in Poni Wilds, while Dratini, Dragonair, and Golduck can be found in Vast Poni Canyon.
Powerful Pokemon Riolu and Lucario can be spotted in SOS battles in Poni Grove, Dragonites can also be encountered in SOS battles in Poni Gauntlet, while Pokemon such as Miltank, Hariyama, and Scyther are available in Poni Plains. Version exclusives are also available in Poni Plains, such as Cottonee and Braviary for "Pokemon Sun" players and Petilil and Mandibuzz for "Pokemon Moon" players.
