Incense (GO)
Incense (Japanese: おこう Incense) is an item exclusive to Pokémon GO. It causes wild Pokémon to appear more often for 30 minutes.
In Pokémon GO
Effect
When the player uses an Incense, for the next 30 minutes 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 five minutes 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.
