Incense



Incense is an item available in Pokémon Go. It can be bought from the Shop.

Description
Incense with a mysterious fragrance that lures wild Pokémon to your location for 30 minutes.

Effect
When activated, it summons a Pokémon to your location every few minutes for 30 minutes.

The Pokémon spawned by the incense do not appear in the "Nearby" box. It spawns new Pokémon for you to catch. The incense will spawn 1 Pokémon every 5 minutes if the trainer is standing still, and every one 1 minute or 200 meters (whichever happens first) while moving.

The incense only works for the trainer that activates it, other trainers are not affected.

Appearance
A pinkish aura circles around the trainer. The effect will follow them if they continue to travel. Pokémon lured by the incense will also have a pink aura.

Trivia

 * An alternate version of Incense known internally as "INCENSE_ORDINARY" exists in the game's data. It has the exact same spawn rate as normal Incense, but a significantly different appearance.
