Ever wondered how to attract more Pokémon to your location in Pokémon GO? One magic item that does just this is the incense. But how does incense work in Pokemon GO?

Let’s dive deep into the workings of incense in Pokémon GO and see how it transforms your gameplay!

The Magic of Incense in Pokemon GO

Incense is a special item in Pokémon GO that, when activated, attracts Pokémon to your location for a limited time. Imagine it like a sweet scent that Pokémon can’t resist.

Once you activate an incense from your inventory, a mysterious, fragrant aura surrounds your avatar for 30 minutes. This aura is your signal that the incense is working. Pokémon that wouldn’t usually appear around you start popping up, ready for you to catch. It’s perfect for players who can’t travel far or are stuck in one place.

Getting the Most Out of Your Incense

While incense is already powerful, you can boost its effectiveness by moving around. Yes! Walking increases the number of Pokémon appearances. For every 200 meters you move, another Pokémon will pop up, thanks to the incense.

Additionally, different types of incense attract different Pokémon. For example, during special events, themed incense might bring certain rare Pokémon your way. So, keep an eye on in-game announcements for these special incenses and make the most of your walks or gaming sessions!
