March will be just about halfway over this Sunday andPokemon GOplayers will be able to celebrate the occasion with a short Incense event. The event isputting Beldum in the spotlight, but that is far from the only Pokemon that will be featuring increased incense spawns when March 14 rolls around.
ThePokemon GOIncense event is going to offer trainers a chance to get the Beldum Community Day exclusive move, which is great news for anyone who missed that opportunity the first time it was available. In addition tothePoGOmeta-relevant move set, there will also be some increased shiny chances that should help motivate collectors to login and spend some time with the game during the event.

As players might expect, there’s an increased chance of encountering shiny Beldum, but shiny Munna and shiny Shieldon are also going to be appearing at increased rates. The event is only six hours long, which means players whowant to secure multiple copies of all three shiny Pokemonwill likely need to keep Incense live nearly the whole time and consider visiting some spots that include multiple points of interest on the map to increase their odds.
