The new adventure incense in Pokémon GO can attract rare Pokémon. However, due to the World Cup event that runs until tomorrow, using it is even more worthwhile than usual.
What kind of incense is this? In addition to the “regular” incense, Niantic activated a new type of this item, the adventure incense, weeks ago. The item lasts only 15 minutes, but if you move while using it, you may encounter rare creatures like Galar Articuno.
This makes the incense generally good. However, along with the World Cup event, one trainer noticed that you can secure certain moves.
That’s why you should use the adventure incense now
The trainer shows: On reddit, user deanz3 writes, “Rhyperior learned Rock Wrecker from the Daily Adventure Incense”. Deanz3 also published two screenshots, before and right after the catch, which prove his statement. You can see the screenshots here on reddit .
Why is this good? Due to the active World Cup event, some Pokémon can currently learn moves that they can only learn on special occasions such as Community Days. An event like this rarely occurs, and it should be taken advantage of. Rhyperior is a very popular attacker in raids. With a moveset consisting of Smack Down (Fast Move) and Rock Wrecker (Charged Move), this Pokémon deals particularly high damage. Thus, Rhyperior becomes the best Rock attacker in Pokémon GO.
The fact that you can get Rhyperior with Rock Wrecker from the Daily Adventure Incense is therefore quite strong. It should also be noted that the other Pokémon that can now learn special moves during the World Cup event will also know these moves when caught. Rhyperior is not an isolated case, but an example.
A trainer writes in the comments that he caught a wild Gyarados and it knew the move Aqua Tail. In general, it is worthwhile to be on the hunt for these Pokémon.
How long does this last? You can find these special moves in the evolved Pokémon until the end of the World Cup event. It runs until Tuesday, August 23, at 8:00 PM local time. So it is worthwhile for you to walk around with the adventure incense today and tomorrow and pay attention to the spawns. Maybe you’ll also find some strong Pokémon along the way.
