Pure Incense
Summary
Pure Incense is a held item in the Pokémon series that primarily serves as a breeding item rather than a battle item. When held by a Pokémon, Pure Incense has two main effects:
-
Breeding Effect: When a Pokémon holding a Pure Incense breeds, it will produce specific baby Pokémon that otherwise wouldn't hatch from the breeding pair. For example, if a Chimecho holds a Pure Incense when it breeds, the offspring will be a Chingling.
-
Wild Encounter Effect: In addition to its breeding utility, Pure Incense also reduces the chance of encountering wild Pokémon when the holder is leading the party. This can be particularly useful when traveling through areas with high wild Pokémon encounter rates, allowing for a smoother journey without frequent interruptions.
Additional Facts:
- Introduction: Pure Incense was introduced in Generation IV of the Pokémon series.
- Purchase Locations: In various games, Pure Incense can typically be bought from specialty shops
