It’s Incense Day, travelers! A new type of event is starting to roll-out around the world. From 11:00 am – 5:00 pm local time on April 19, Incense will draw special Pokémon to you. Each hour of the event, a new type of Pokémon will be highlighted, rotating through Water, Fire, Grass, Psychic, Bug, and Ground types. Our researchers have set out (or stayed in) to bring you live data on what we’re seeing out in the field! Let’s check out what they’ve unearthed so far!

From the data collected so far on over 8,900 Incense spawns, it appears that each hour will highlight exactly 10 species. Sentret will spawn during every hour, occupying a little more than a quarter of all spawns, and is accompanied by nine other species of the corresponding type. We’ve also recorded several Ditto during different hours (all from the expected disguises).
Here’s the raw data from what we’ve recorded so far. We also show the average number of spawns in one hour.
