Incense (Japanese: おこうIncense) is an item in Pokémon GO that, upon activation, draws wild Pokémon towards the player at an accelerated rate for 30 minutes in real time. The Lure Module is a similar item that, instead of being attached to the player, is deployed onto PokéStops.
For 30 minutes, an Incense spawns approximately one Pokémon every five minutes if standing still, or one Pokémon every minute if walking. Pokémon spawned by incense sometimes tend to be more aggressive, dodging or attacking in shorter time intervals.
The Mystery Box and Incense are mutually exclusive: if one is active, the other cannot be.

Acquisition
The player starts the game with two incenses in their inventory and will obtain more at every fifth level starting at level 5, as well as at level 7. They can also be purchased with PokéCoins at the Shop.
