Incense (Japanese: おこう Incense) is an item exclusive to Pokémon GO. It causes wild Pokémon to appear more often for an hour
In Pokémon GO
Effect
When the player uses an Incense, for the next hour it causes more Pokémon to spawn for the player only. While an Incense is active, a pink gas swirls around the player in the overworld, and Pokémon it spawns also have this visual effect in the overworld.
Incense spawns approximately one Pokémon every minute if the player is standing still, or one Pokémon every minute while walking. Pokémon spawned by Incense tend to be more aggressive, dodging or attacking with shorter time intervals.
The Mystery Box and Incense are mutually exclusive: if one is active, the other cannot be.
Description
|
Acquisition
The player starts the game with two Incenses in their Bag.
Starting from Trainer level 5, every 5 levels the player receives a number of Incenses for leveling up. Additionally, the player receives an Incense when they reach Trainer level 7.
Additionally, Incenses can be purchased with PokéCoins at the Shop at the following rates:
| Quantity | Price | |
|---|---|---|
 |
×1 |  40
|
 |
×8 | 250
|
Special Boxes
- From March 12, 2020 onward, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, a one-time purchase Special Box containing 30 Incenses was made available for 1 PokéCoin. Additionally, while stay-at-home orders remained in place, Incenses were made to last for 1 hour instead of 30 minutes.[1]
Special events
Starting early 2020, the icon for the Incense may turn orange instead of green on the world map, in the player's inventory and in the in game store during special events to indicate the Incense will only attract specific Pokémon during the course of such event. This may require a game restart to show up properly in game. The Incense icon will revert to green once the event has concluded.
