Pokémon Go organizes an Incense Day to celebrate the arrival of Mega Ampharos at the game. Today, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., local time, Dragon or Electric-type Pokémon will generate when you have Active Incense. Electric-type Pokémon will appear through incense from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., while Dragon-type Pokémon will appear through incense from 1 p.m. : 00:00 to 14:00 and 16:00 to 17:00 In addition, Mareep will appear more frequently than Incense throughout the event. To help players participate in the Incense Day event, Pokémon Go sells 3 incense for 1 poke coin.
In addition to Mareep appearing more frequently during the event, any Ampharos that has evolved during the event will know the Dragon Pulse movement, a movement that previously could only be learned during Community Day 2018. Dragon Pulse is particularly useful when Ampharos Mega Evolves, as Mega Ampharos is an Electric / Dragon type Pokémon and would gain an attack bonus of the same type when the attack was used.
Pokémon confirmed to appear during the incense event: Pikachu, Magnemite, Voltorb, Chinchou, Mareep, Plusle, Minun, Stunfisk, Horsea, Dratini, Trapinch, Vibrava, Swablu and Bagon. Note that Plusle, Minun, and Bagon are needed to complete the Hoenn Celebration event collection challenge.
In addition to today’s incense day, Pokémon Go also organizes the mentioned Hoenn Celebration Event, that includes an increase of the reproductions of several Pokémon of the region of Hoenn. This includes the incorporation of Groudon and Kyogre into the 5-star raids until tomorrow Monday 25 January. The game will jump to a Johto Celebration event that will give players the opportunity to evolve certain Pokémon to learn moves that were previously exclusive to older Community Days. All of these celebration events lead to the Pokemon Go Tour: Kanto event, which offers players the opportunity to capture brilliant versions of all the Pokémon in the Kanto region.
