Incense is a feature in Pokétwo that allows users to spawn Pokémon at regular intervals without any prerequisites. To use incense, a user must have a role named Incense or have Administration/Owner permissions in the server. Incense can be purchased from the shop for 50 shards (10,000 pokécoins), and it will spawn Pokémon every 20 seconds for 1 hour, resulting in a total of 180 Pokémon spawns per incense. However, there have been issues with non-admins being unable to use incense, and potential solutions include allowing non-admins to use incense by tying its use to a configurable role or limiting its use to specific channels. Additionally, some users have suggested the ability to pause an incense or introduce smaller incenses that last for a shorter duration and cost fewer shards.

What You'll Learn
Buying and using incense
To buy and use incense in Pokétwo, you must first ensure you have the required permissions. You must either have a role named "Incense" (not case-sensitive) or have Administration/Owner permissions in the server. Incense costs 50 shards (equivalent to 10,000 pokécoins), and you need to have at least 50 shards to purchase it. Having 10,000 pokécoins will not be sufficient.
Once you have confirmed you have the right permissions and enough shards, you can proceed to buy the incense. Go to the channel where you want to purchase the incense and use the command @Pokétwo#8236 buy incense. Press the Confirm button. If you wish to cancel the purchase, press the Cancel button instead. The incense will now start to spawn Pokémon.
Each incense will spawn Pokémon every 20 seconds for 1 hour, resulting in a total of 180 Pokémon per incense. If at any point during this hour, you wish to stop the incense, you can do so by using the command @Pokétwo#8236 stopincense and pressing Confirm. It is important to note that you cannot stack incenses, but you can perform multiple incenses simultaneously, provided they are in different channels.
If you are unable to use the incense after purchasing it, there are a few workarounds. One option is to request temporary admin permissions from the server admin, but this may not be ideal as it grants unnecessary access. Another option is to send the server admin 10,000 pokécoins, so they can purchase the incense for you, but this is also not recommended for similar reasons. Alternatively, you can create a personal server and use the incense there. While there have been suggestions for improvements, such as the ability to pause an incense or introduce smaller incenses, the current workarounds are the best available options.

Creating an incense role
To create an "Incense role" in Pokétwo, you must first understand the purpose of incense in the game. Incense is a feature in Pokétwo that allows players to spawn Pokémon constantly at regular intervals without any prerequisites. An incense spawns a Pokémon every 20 seconds for 1 hour, resulting in a total of 180 Pokémon spawns per incense.
Now, to address the issue of creating an "Incense role," it is important to note that, by default, only users with Administration/Owner permissions or a role named "Incense" (not case-sensitive) can purchase and use incense in a server. This restriction has led to players suggesting workarounds, such as granting temporary admin permissions to users who have purchased incense or having them send a server admin 10,000 Pokécoins to buy it on their behalf. However, these solutions are not ideal as they can be risky and cumbersome.
Pokétwo itself suggests a better alternative: creating a role named "Incense." This role would be separate from the admin or owner permissions and could be granted to trusted users who want to use incense. By doing so, you can avoid giving away full admin privileges while still allowing players to utilize incense. This solution provides more control and reduces the risks associated with granting temporary admin permissions.
To create the "Incense role," you would typically follow the standard procedure for creating roles in your Discord server settings. Name the role "Incense" and ensure that it has the necessary permissions to start an incense but no additional abilities or privileges beyond what is required. Once the role is created, you can assign it to trusted users who want to use incense in the server. This way, you maintain control while enhancing the gameplay experience for your community, as seen in servers that host daily incense events.

Incense as a gift
Incense can be purchased in the shop for 50 shards (10,000 pokécoins) and will cause Pokémon to spawn constantly at regular intervals without any prerequisites. An incense spawns a Pokémon every 20 seconds for 1 hour, with a total of 180 Pokémon spawning per incense. To buy an incense, go to the channel in which you want to use it and use the command @Pokétwo#8236 buy incense. Press the Confirm button.
To gift an incense, you can buy it and send it to an admin to be used. You can also convert shards to pokecoins, which can then be sent to an admin to purchase an incense. However, this method has been described as "pretty bad". Another option is to create a role named "Incense" and assign it to the person you want to gift the incense to. This option is also risky, as it grants the person "all other rights a mod gets".

Pausing an incense
It is worth noting that this workaround gives the assigned user all the rights of a moderator, which may be undesirable. Other workarounds include giving the user temporary admin permissions or having them send 10,000 coins to a server admin to purchase the incense. However, these options may also be undesirable due to the level of access they grant to the user.
Another possible solution is to allow non-admins to use incense by tying incense use to a configurable role per server. This way, an admin can grant that role temporarily or to trusted users without giving them full admin or moderator privileges. Alternatively, limit incense to channels that already have spawns enabled via p!redirect, or have a separate setting for incense channels with an additional command to set them up.
While there is no official feature to pause an incense, some users have suggested that it would be nice to have the option to pause an incense for a few hours and then finish it later. This could be a useful feature for those who don't want to stick around for the entire hour that an incense lasts. As a workaround, it has been suggested that a smaller incense option could be created, lasting only 30 minutes and costing half the shards.

Incense and spawning
Incense is a feature in Pokétwo that allows you to spawn Pokémon constantly at regular intervals without any prerequisites. An incense spawns a Pokémon every 20 seconds for 1 hour, with a total of 180 Pokémon spawning per incense. To purchase an incense, you need to have either a role named "Incense" or Administration/Owner permissions on the server. Incenses cost 50 shards (equivalent to 10,000 pokécoins), and you must have at least 50 shards to buy one.
To use incense, go to the channel where you want to buy it and use the command @Pokétwo#8236 buy incense. Press the Confirm button, and the incense will start spawning Pokémon. You can have multiple incenses going at once, but they must be in different channels, and you cannot stack them. If you want to stop an incense, you can use the @Pokétwo#8236 stopincense command at any point.
It's worth noting that Pokémon spawning is based on server activity. The messages sent by non-bot users contribute to a spawn criterion, and when met, a Pokémon is spawned. The more users sending messages, the faster the spawn criterion is met. This means that inviting friends to a server and having natural conversations is an effective way to increase spawn rates without resorting to manual message sending.
There have been discussions about allowing non-admins to use incense, as currently, there are limited workarounds, such as giving temporary admin permissions or having the user send a server admin 10k coins to purchase an incense on their behalf. Some possible solutions include tying incense use to a configurable role or limiting incense to channels with spawns already enabled. Another suggestion is to allow incense to be gifted, so users can buy and send it to an admin to be used.
