The measure aims to enhance the game without leaving home during the coronavirus and increase the number of creatures in our location.
Niantic has announced Incense Day for Pokémon GO. The company, in its intention to facilitate more and more functions without leaving home, such as Remote Raids soon, now enables a new monthly celebration that features this characteristic object.
The first and most important thing: the date. The first Pokémon GO Incense Day will be celebrated this Sunday, April 19, 2020, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time. The objective is that, during each established time slot, very specific Pokémon appear in our range and, therefore, the range of options grows considerably. Furthermore, it is important to make it clear that incense will last 60 minutes instead of 30 minutes.
What is Incense for in Pokémon GO?
For the less initiated, it is worth explaining what incense is and what it is used for in Pokémon GO. Introduced exclusively for Pokémon GO – it has no presence in the main saga – the object is an item that has a fragrance that can attract wild Pokémon to where we are for a total of 30 minutes; unless Niantic temporarily activates measures to make its activation last longer.
Now, that amount of Pokémon that we find around us will depend on whether we move or not while we have it activated. The regular rule is that if we are completely stopped, a Pokémon appears every five minutes; if we move, one Pokémon every 200 meters guaranteed. In the store, the individual price of each incense is 80 Pokécoins; the x8 kit a total of 500 Pokécoins and the x25 at a price of 1250 Pokécoins.
Exclusive lot: 1 Pokécurrency in exchange for 3 Incenses (three hours)
Below, we leave the full breakdown that Pokémon GO has specified in its release. The main characteristic is that the Incense will attract more Sentret during the event; In addition, an exclusive lot worth 1 Pokécurrency with 3 Incenses will be launched in the Store.
