How to use it
Odd Incense is a held item in the Pokémon games that has a variety of uses, particularly in breeding and in-battle effects. Here are some ways to use Odd Incense:
Breeding Mr. Mime for Mime Jr. Eggs
Odd Incense is essential when breeding Mr. Mime or Galarian Mr. Mime with Ditto to obtain Mime Jr. eggs. For this method to work, Mr. Mime must be holding the Odd Incense. Otherwise, the resulting egg will only hatch another Mr. Mime. Mime Jr. has access to Charm and Healing Wish as egg moves, which a Mr. Mime cannot hatch with. Therefore, trainers seeking to include these moves in their Mr. Mime's set will need a female Mr. Mime holding the Odd Incense and another Pokémon in its egg group that knows Charm or Healing Wish to pass on to Mime Jr.
Powering Up Psychic-Type Moves
Odd Incense boosts the power of Psychic-type moves in battle. When a Pokémon holds the Odd Incense, their Psychic-type attacks are strengthened by 20%. For example, the move "Psychic" typically has a base power of 90, but with the Odd Incense, its power increases to 108. Additionally, if a Psychic-type Pokémon uses "Psychic," it receives an extra 50% damage bonus, resulting in a base damage of 162 due to the STAB benefit.
Obtaining Mime Jr. through Other Pokémon
Odd Incense can also be used by Pokémon such as Meloetta, Manaphy, Enamorus, Keldeo, and Meltan. For example, a Pokémon holding Odd Incense will have their Psychic-type moves powered up, similar to the effects of the Twisted Spoon item.
Purchasing and Locating Odd Incense
Players can obtain Odd Incense by purchasing it from the Incense Merchant in Hulbury for ₽2000. Alternatively, in the Crown Tundra map, one can find Odd Incense on the ground near the bush and trees on the east side of the Crown Tundra station. Another location to find Odd Incense is in the Solaceon Ruins, just right of Solaceon Town in Pokémon BDSP.

How it differs from Everstone
Incense is a group of held items introduced in Generation III. They allow bred Pokémon to produce baby Pokémon they otherwise would not be able to. For example, if a male Jigglypuff and a female Marill are in the Pokémon Day Care together, they would normally produce Marill Eggs. However, if either of them holds a Sea Incense, they will produce Azurill Eggs instead. Odd Incense is one such item in the Incense group.
The Everstone, on the other hand, is a type of held item introduced in Generation II. It prevents the holder from evolving. For instance, in Generation II, the Everstone can prevent Kadabra from evolving into Alakazam. In Generation VIII, if a Pokémon holding an Everstone attempts to use an Evolution stone, the text "Cannot use" will appear. The Everstone can also be used in breeding to pass down the nature of the parent holding it to the offspring. In Pokémon Sword and Shield, due to an oversight, breeding a Unovan Stunfisk and a Galarian Stunfisk that both hold Everstones will always result in Unovan Stunfisk offspring, regardless of the parents' genders.
In summary, the key differences between Odd Incense and Everstone are:
- Odd Incense is a type of Incense, which allows bred Pokémon to produce baby Pokémon they otherwise could not, while Everstone is a held item that prevents the holder from evolving.
- Odd Incense affects the breeding of Pokémon by changing the type of Eggs produced, while Everstone affects breeding by passing down the nature of the parent holding it to the offspring.
- Odd Incense was introduced in Generation III, while Everstone was introduced in Generation II.

Using it to breed Mime Jr
Odd Incense is a held item introduced in Generation III that allows bred Pokémon to produce baby Pokémon that they otherwise would not be able to. When held by a Pokémon in the Pokémon Nursery or Day Care, Odd Incense lets Pokémon produce Eggs containing baby Pokémon that they normally could not.
Mime Jr. is a Pokémon that is available in Sword and Shield, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, and Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Mime Jr. evolves into Mr. Mime, and in Galar, it evolves into Galarian Mr. Mime, which then evolves into Mr. Rime.
To use Odd Incense to breed Mime Jr., you would need to give the Odd Incense to a pair of Pokémon that would normally produce Eggs containing Mr. Mime, the evolved form of Mime Jr. For example, you could breed Mr. Mime with a Ditto, and if Mr. Mime holds the Odd Incense, you will get Mime Jr.
It is important to note that this method of breeding with Odd Incense only works for baby Pokémon introduced in Generation III or later, and it does not work for Riolu or Toxel. Additionally, the resulting baby Pokémon from Incense breeding may have different Egg Move lists than their evolved forms. For instance, Azurill, which can be bred from a Jigglypuff-Marill pair if either holds a Sea Incense, can learn Fake Tears through breeding while Marill cannot.

Using it to boost Psychic-type moves
Odd Incense is a Held Item in Pokémon that can be used to boost Psychic-type moves. When a Pokémon holds this item, its Psychic-type moves are powered up. This can be particularly useful for Psychic-type attackers, enhancing their performance in battle.

Once you have acquired the Odd Incense, you can give it to a Pokémon to hold. It is specifically associated with breeding Mime Jr. and its evolutionary family, including Mr. Mime, Galarian Mr. Mime, and Mr. Rime. To breed Mime Jr., you can let either Mr. Mime, Galarian Mr. Mime, or Mr. Rime hold the Odd Incense and breed it with Ditto. This will result in an Egg that will eventually hatch into Mime Jr.
It's important to note that the effects of Odd Incense are similar to those of the Twisted Spoon item. If you're looking to enhance your Psychic-type moves, Odd Incense can be a valuable tool for your Pokémon to hold during battles.
