Incense Day
For those who can’t join the Charge Up Event, there’s going to be an Incense Day on March 14, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time.
The highlight of the event is that the Pokémon Beldum will be attracted to Incense. Trainers lucky enough could even meet a shiny version. During the event, players have the chance to evolve Beldum to Metang and then to Metagross. Doing so gives Trainers a Metagross that knows Meteor Mash. There’s also going to be an event-exclusive one PokéCoin bundle that features Incense available for purchase in the shop.
It’s not all Beldum since other Pokémon will be attracted to Incense at different times of the event as well. Possible Pokémon that can be encountered include:
- Psychic-type Pokémon
- Natu
- Girafarig
- Meditite
- Baltoy
- Munna
- Steel-type Pokémon
- Alolan Diglett
- Magnemite
- Aron
- Bronzor
- Shieldon
Here’s the actual breakdown of the time of different Pokémon that Trainers can encounter:
- 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. local time: Psychic-type Pokémon
- 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. local time: Steel-type Pokémon
