Use Incense
When you first start up Pokemon GO, Professor Willow will give you a quick introduction, before throwing you into your first encounter with a Pokemon. Once this is over, you would normally have to get up and go outside to start catching Pokemon. Well, the game gives you a helping hand to start filling out that Pokedex with the minimum amount of effort, and supplies you with Incense in your bag.
Using Incense will release a purple smoke around you, as can be seen in the screen above, and will work for 30 minutes. This will lure Pokemon toward your location meaning you don’t have to go outside and aimlessly walk around your neighborhood in search of that Drowzee. You don’t have to use the Incense straight away, of course, but just don’t forget that you’ve got it in your Inventory. Use it wisely, too. Once it’s gone it’s gone and unless you want to use real-life money to buy Pokecoins to buy more of it from Pokemon GO’s store you’re unlikely to see it again for quite a while.
