PokéBase - Pokémon Q&A

There is a similar question already asked, but I want to know if it is possible to get every shiny in USUM just through QR codes.
I've gotten back into USUM lately and wanted to complete the postgame. Then I learned about QR codes and got my Magearna. But then I found this website https://www.perfectly-nintendo.com/pokemon-ultra-sun-ultra-moon-qr-codes-serial-codes-distributions-events/ and there are shiny forms listed... does this mean I can get any Shiny Pokemon in Ultra Sun without hunting it? It feels like cheating...

The only QR code that will actually give you a Pokemon is the Magearna one. The others merely register a Pokemon to your Pokedex as if you've seen it (but not captured it), and count towards the daily Island Scan total. Thus, you can't receive any Pokemon you want from QR codes. However, if you scan a shiny Pokemon's QR code it will be permanently entered in your Pokedex, so you can have a Pokedex full of shiny Pokemon that you never actually obtained.
