Now that "Pokemon Go" has taken over the entire world, users aspiring "to be the very best, that no one ever was", search day and night to gather as many "Pokemon" as they can, some even have fallen into bodies of water, trying to catch them all. While the majority of "Pokemon Go" players are able to catch multiple "Pokemon" of the same species, there are obviously bigger "Magikarp" to fry. Here is a quick guide to catching rare "Pokemon" using incense.
There is more to the "Pokemon Go" life than simply capturing 5 "Pidgeys" and 7 "Rattatas", believe or not, and fans of the super popular mobile app have been frantically looking for rarer "Pokemon" to capture. According to Sionnara's post on Reddit, the key to capturing rarer "Pokemon" on "Pokemon Go" is to use incense in remote areas where there no other "Pokemon" around. Incense can be used to draw "Pokemon" near players, where there seems to be none. When players use incense in an area filled with plenty of common "Pokemon", they will attract more of the exact same species.
To properly execute the method, "Pokemon Go" players must first clear their "Nearby" list. One can do so by simply restarting the game. After clearing the list, players must find a place that is not commonly frequented by other players of "Pokemon Go". If a player ventures far enough, there will be no more "Pokemon" that will show up on the in-game radar. This is the perfect opportunity to use the incense according to Sionarra. He writes "Far away from anything and the in game pokemon radar was total blank. Popped an incense while laying in the sun and boom, a Vulpix arrived." adding, "And then some Pokemons I have never seen before in the wild here in Sweden (Ponyta, Diglets and even two Dragonairs)".
A useful tip from Attack of the Fanboy for the incense method is that "Pokemon Go" players must keep in motion for the rare "Pokemon" to appear faster. Also, as much as possible, try to stay away from places where "Pokemon" can be usually found.
This is only a theory but feel free to try this "Pokemon Go" method out.
