Incense Day is an event in Pokémon Go themed around the use of, unsurprisingly, Incense, which is used to attract Pokémon to you.

Each Incense Day in Pokémon Go focuses around a specific Pokémon. Certain Pokémon which share the same types as this spotlighted creature can then be found more frequently when using Incense during event hours.

Incense Day's also include a variety of other bonuses, such as increased shiny rates for the spotlight Pokémon or an increased duration for Daily Adventure Incense.

Below you'll be able to find the time and date for the next Incense Day, as well as the bonuses that apply to that event.

Incense Day time and date in Pokémon Go

The next Incense Day will occur on Sunday 26th May 2024 from 11am to 5pm local time. The spotlighted Pokémon for this Incense Day is Ferroseed.

Each hour of this event causes any Incense you use to attract a particular type of Pokémon, with that Pokémon type changing every hour.

Incense Day bonuses in Pokémon Go explained

During an Incense Day in Pokémon Go you'll be able to take advantage of a variety of bonuses.

The first bonus sees you encountering a higher number of Ferroseed when using Incense, which works perfectly with the second bonus - an increased chance of encountering shiny Ferroseed! So, if you haven't had the chance to add shiny Ferroseed or Ferrothorn to your collection yet, now is the time to do so.

The third bonus sees Daily Adventure Incense lasting for 30 minutes during event hours. This is double the amount of time Daily Adventure Incense is usually active for, increasing your chances of encountering one of the Galarian Legendary Birds. You can also use Roar of Time - Origin Forme Dialga's Adventure Effect - to pause the Daily Adventure Incense timer to make it last even longer! (If you have the candy required of course.)

There will also be a selection of event-exclusive field research tasks to collect throughout the event. From these you can earn Stardust, Pinap Berries, Ultra Balls and Great Balls.

Keeping to Incense Day tradition, the next bonus sees a selection of Pokémon being more attracted to Incense than the rest. These Pokémon hail from the Grass and Steel-types, with the specific type of Pokémon changing on the hour much like how habitats rotate during a Go Fest event. (Ferroseed will appear in every hour though - it is this seed's special day after all.)

Here are the hours each type is active during May's Incense Day:

  • 11am to 12pm - Grass-type Pokémon
  • 12pn to 1pm - Steel-type Pokémon
  • 1pm to 2pm - Grass-type Pokémon
  • 2pm to 3pm - Steel-type Pokémon
  • 3pm to 4pm - Grass-type Pokémon
  • 4pm to 5pm - Steel-type Pokémon

During the hours that Grass-type Pokémon appear more frequently, you might encounter:

  • Hisuian Voltorb
  • Tangela
  • Hoppip
  • Petilil
  • Phantump
  • Morelull
Both Tangela and Hoppip are spawning during the Grass-type hours..

Meanwhile, during the hours for Steel-type Pokémon you might find:

  • Galarian Meowth
  • Magnemite
  • Aron
  • Beldum
  • Shieldon
  • Togedemaru
Shieldon and Togedemaru will be making an appearance during the Steel hours.

Finally, if you need some Incense, you can purchase one from a 1 PokéCoin bundle in the in-game shop.

How to prepare for Incense Day in Pokémon Go

If you're planning on taking part in Incense Day in Pokémon Go, then you should make sure you're prepared for it.

First things first, you need to ensure that you actually have Incense. If you don't then you can easily purchase some from the in-game store or earn it by completing Special Research tasks, such as Let's Go Meltan.

Having a Lucky Egg or two for doubling your XP is also a good idea, especially if you're planning on catching a lot of Pokémon.

Finally, you should also ensure that you've stocked up on Poké Balls and berries of all varieties. The worst thing that could happen to you on Incense Day is that, when that rare Pokémon you've been hunting appears only to discover that you're all out of Poké Balls.

Where to purchase Incense in Pokémon Go

You can purchase Incense in Pokémon Go from the in-game store, which is accessible via the main menu.

During the event, you'll be able to purchase an exclusive bundle containing one Incense in exchange for 1 PokéCoin.

You can purchase additional Incense at these PokéCoin prices:

  • One Incense - 40 PokéCoin
  • Eight Incense - 250 PokéCoin

The Dual Destiny Season is here! It brings the Holiday Part 2 event with it. You can now catch Dynamax Pokémon through Max Battles. First, however, you need to visit Power Spots to collect Max Particles and complete the To the Max! quest. Don't forget to try out Routes, Gift Exchange and Party Play while you're hunting down rare Pokémon, fighting in the Go Battle League or competing in PokéStop Showcases.
