During the Special Research Quest, "A Mysterious Incense," Trainers can acquire a special item that can be used to find and catch Galarian Articuno, a Legendary Psychic and Flying-type Pokémon in Pokémon GO. This quest item is known as Daily Adventure Incense, a unique Incense variant that Trainers can activate to attract wild Pokémon for a 15-minute duration. However, unlike normal Incense, this type only works when the player is moving.
Daily Adventure Incense will be supplied to the Trainer once they've begun the Special Research Quest in Pokémon GO, "A Mysterious Incense." At 12 a.m. local time, this Incense will be automatically added to the Item Bag without cost. Only one Daily Adventure Incense can be held at a time and must be activated before the daily reset can be restocked. A useful feature of this Incense is granting players 30 free Poké Balls if they use the Incense if they own fewer than 30 Poké Balls. This also applies to Great Balls and Ultra Balls. As noted previously, the Trainer's avatar must be mobile within the AR world for the Incense to work, meaning that a stationary player cannot attract wild Pokémon.
Once a Daily Adventure Incense in Pokémon GO has been activated, Galarian Articuno can potentially appear near the Trainer while they are moving. Since Galarian Articuno is a rare Legendary Encounter, it can be extremely challenging to capture, with an extremely low Base Catch Rate and an exceptionally high Flee Rate.
