Pokemon GO players can capture a lot of Pokemon using single Incense. This feat may sound incredible but it's definitely doable.

Pokemon GO Incense Spawn Duration

According to the Pokemon GO game guide, Incense can spawn a Pokemon at five minute intervals if the player is stationary. But moving or walking can increase the number of Pokemon spawn to a maximum of 15 in 30 minutes.

Pokemon GO Incense Game Code

Otakukart was able to get a screenshot of the Pokemon GO source code for the Incense. The code basically confirms that the Incense has a maximum life of 30 minutes. Pokemon will indeed spawn every 300 seconds (five minutes) if the player is not moving.

But the additional code mentioned that a player who can travel 200 meters in less a minute will be rewarded with a Pokemon spawn. This means that players can in theory, catch a Pokemon every single minute. However, the Pokemon GO player should practice fast walking or use a bike to finish the 200 meter requirement.

Pokemon GO Potential Rare Pokemon Capture

The higher the number of Pokemon the Incense can spawn the more likely chance that a rare Pokemon will appear. Pokemon GO players can simply ignore the common ones and focused in capturing the rare or at least the most valuable ones.

Collecting even the common Pokemon is actually beneficial to the players. They could be grinded to for candies and given to Pokemon who are in need of evolution or upgrade.

Pokemon GO Incense Trick Useful With Nests

Pokemon GO players can further increase their number of Pokemon catch if they use the Incense near the Nests. At least two Incense are given to Pokemon GO players. Additional Incense is also given to trainers who have reached a certain XP level. Players with 80 PokeCoins to spare can buy one from the in-game shop, according to Gamerant.
