Daily Adventure Incense: A free, daily 15-minute boost to attract wild Pokémon
Daily Adventure Incense is a special type of Incense that attracts wild Pokémon to your location for 15 minutes while you are moving. It is available worldwide to all trainers and can be activated from the Pokémon Go main map screen by clicking on the small Daily Adventure Incense symbol in the upper right-hand corner of the screen.
It is important to note that this type of Incense will only function if you are physically moving to a new location, not just dancing on the spot or on a treadmill. The number of Pokémon you encounter will depend on your movement, with spawns potentially occurring more than once per minute or every 30 seconds as long as you keep moving. If you are not moving, you will not encounter any Pokémon.
Daily Adventure Incense can be particularly useful for encountering Pokémon that are not regularly found in the wild, including those that are rare or more powerful in your specific location, such as the three Legendary Galarian Birds: the regional variants of Zapdos, Articuno, and Moltres. These Pokémon will have a blue mist surrounding them when they appear on the map.
If you catch any Pokémon during the 15 minutes that your Daily Adventure Incense is active, you will be given the option to share your adventure on social media afterward. This post will only show the Pokémon that were specifically attracted to the Daily Adventure Incense and will not include any Pokémon caught without the blue mist and Daily Adventure Incense symbol.

Mystery Box: A special Incense for players with linked accounts, attracting Meltan
The Mystery Box is a special kind of Incense that attracts Meltan for 60 minutes. It is available exclusively for players who have linked their Pokémon GO game account with other Pokémon games and have transferred at least one Pokémon to that game. To unlock the Mystery Box, players must transfer a single Pokémon from Pokémon Go to their Pokémon Home account. This requires a Nintendo account. Once the Mystery Box is activated, the Trainer must wait three days to transfer Pokémon and receive another.
The Mystery Box is considered to be an Incense due to attracting Meltan, just like how Incense attracts Pokémon. However, Trainers cannot use Incense and the Mystery Box simultaneously. The Mystery Box is highly valued by players as it is the only way to catch Meltan in Pokémon Go. Meltan's evolved form, Melmetal, is also highly desirable as its attack is very fast, making it great for battling Team Rocket and in gym battles.
To get the Mystery Box, players can follow these steps:
- Download the Pokémon Home app.
- Create (or sign in) to a Nintendo account on the Pokémon Home app.
- Link Pokémon Home and your Nintendo account to Pokémon Go in the settings under "linked accounts and services."
- Transfer a Pokémon from your collection to Pokémon Home.
- Open the Pokémon Home app and receive the transferred Pokémon.
It is important to note that the Mystery Box has a cooldown period of three days, during which players cannot transfer Pokémon and receive another Mystery Box.

Coin Bag: Another linked-account special Incense, requiring movement to work
The Coin Bag is a rare, special type of Incense that is only available to players who have linked their Pokémon GO game account with the Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet game. It is used to attract the Coin Chest Pokémon, Gimmighoul, to your location for 30 minutes. Like standard Incense, the Coin Bag works best when the trainer is moving. When stationary, the trainer will get one spawn per five minutes, but this increases to one spawn every 30 seconds to one minute when walking.
To get the most out of the Coin Bag, it is important to note that the trainer must be moving. This means that the full effect of the incense will not be achieved if the trainer remains in one place. The Coin Bag can be activated at any time, and its effects will last for 30 minutes. However, it is worth noting that the duration of the Coin Bag cannot be extended by enabling standard Incense, and only one type of Incense can be active at a time.
Additionally, the Coin Bag can be used in conjunction with the Daily Adventure Incense. The Daily Adventure Incense is a special type of Incense that attracts wild Pokémon for 15 minutes as long as the trainer is moving, including Pokémon that are not normally available in the wild. It is added to the Item Bag once daily at 12 a.m. local time, and only one can be carried at a time. If the trainer has 30 or fewer Poké Balls, Great Balls, and Ultra Balls in their Item Bag when the Daily Adventure Incense is activated, they will automatically be granted 30 Poké Balls.
By combining the Coin Bag with the Daily Adventure Incense, trainers can maximise their chances of encountering rare Pokémon like Gimmighoul while also having the opportunity to catch a variety of other wild Pokémon. It is important to note that the Daily Adventure Incense must be used before 11:44 p.m. local time to ensure that the next day's Incense is received.

Incense mechanics: Incense creates a pinkish cloud aura around the Trainer
Incense is an item that attracts Pokémon to spawn near a Trainer for a limited time. When activated, it creates a pinkish cloud aura around the Trainer. The effect follows the Trainer if they move, but it can also be used to catch Pokémon while remaining in one place. The incense's duration and effectiveness can vary depending on ongoing events, and it usually lasts for an hour, spawning one Pokémon every five minutes if the Trainer is stationary, and one Pokémon every minute or 200 meters if the Trainer is moving.
The pinkish cloud aura is a visual indicator of the activated incense, and it surrounds the Trainer, creating an attractive effect for Pokémon. This aura is distinct from the regular green colour of the incense item, which changes to orange during specific events with a themed pool of Pokémon.
Daily Adventure Incense is a special type of incense introduced in July 2022 that provides a 15-minute window to attract wild Pokémon, including those not commonly found in the wild. It is automatically added to the Trainer's item bag once per day and must be used before midnight to receive another one the next day. To activate it, players can locate it in their item bag or tap the icon on the in-game map, creating a blue fog around their avatar.
Another special type of incense is the Mystery Box, which attracts Meltan for 60 minutes. This incense is exclusive to players who have linked their Pokémon GO game account with other Pokémon games and transferred at least one Pokémon.

Incense alternatives: Tricks exist to attract Pokémon without using Incense
Incense is an item that attracts Pokémon to spawn near a Trainer temporarily. However, there are some tricks and alternatives to using Incense to attract Pokémon.
One trick is to walk or run around a particular area, especially the first grass in the route, which has been said to make legendary Pokémon appear. This method has been said to work best after reaching level 30. Another alternative is to link your Pokémon GO game account with other Pokémon games and transfer at least one Pokémon to that game. This will give you access to the Mystery Box, a special kind of Incense that attracts Meltan for 60 minutes. The Coin Bag is another special Incense that can be obtained by linking your Pokémon GO game account with the Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet game.
Additionally, Daily Adventure Incense, introduced on July 25, 2022, attracts wild Pokémon for 15 minutes as long as the Trainer is moving, including Pokémon that are not usually available in the wild. It is added to the Item Bag once daily at 12:00 a.m. local time, and it must be completely used before midnight to receive the next day's grant. If the Trainer has 30 or fewer Poké Balls, Great Balls, and Ultra Balls in the Item Bag when the Daily Adventure Incense is activated, they will be granted 30 Poké Balls.
Some players have also suggested that different types of Incense should be available, each attracting different types of Pokémon, such as Bug Pokémon.
