Yet another topic in the how was your … series. How was your incense day?
I only ran stink for 3hrs and let the Ho Plus do all the work. My priority was farming an Oshawott nest. Manual catch all Oshy and let the Plus pick up whatever else.
1 Fang Fish for 0 effort.

I have watched the incense for 2 hours now, captured some Pokemon, and captured a (normal) Sableye, which is a ghost type. Captured some water Pokemon and finished the hoenn throwback challenge
Forgot to mention I Go Plused a Scraggy too. No idea if others got away.
Incense Day wasn’t too bad. Only played the dark hours and got four Scraggy and a Green/Blue Piranha Fish as a result for doing nothing but staring at my phone. The only bad thing was that I almost found more Purrloin than Carvanha. Also I really hope the Incense spawns will be doubled and the Incense duration reduced by a half next time they do an Incense Day though. That’d save a LOT of time for the same amount of encounters.

Good grief, if I see one more of these stupid water weedles (tympoops) I may puke. To their credit, at least they only come during water hours – the spinning toothfish have been here the whole time.
Postlogue: I’m incensed. (Sorry for the groaner pun that was worth only a weak smile; but that’s the only smile I got all afternoon.) Incense event was aotal waste of time, Pokéballs, and incense. A ton of worthless spawns. Zero shinies. Most disappointing ‘event’ ever.
The whole event, two phones 0 shinies. Either I have the worst luck or Niantic hates me. Worst shiny drought I’ve had since the release of shinies
Edit: the day turned around, managed to catch a shiny wurmple and it evolved into Beautifly (which I needed)

So Tympole was the Water version of Dark Cat? Because Purrloin was almost more common than Carvanha.
Around here Carvanha easily outnumbered Purrloin, at least by a factor of 2, probably closer to 3.
I played for about 2 and a half hours. My goal was to get at least one shiny Skorupi because I already had one. I used 2 incense and a daily adventure incense. The latter didn’t give me anything spectacular, but on the other hand I got 2 shinies from regular incense - Skorupi and Scyther. I also found XXS Litwick, XXL Pinsir and Skorupi and as a surprise Frigibax appeared in the wild! It was a nice event.
I would have loved to get another shiny Skorupi, having just 1 that I bagged in GO Fest 2022. I think I encountered one Skorupi today, and it wasn’t shiny. But I was on duty from 7 to 7, and busy from 7-10 and 2-7, so I didn’t get out much to play.
Working from 4am to 4pm got in the way of being able play. By the time I had a shower straight after work I was left with 15mins before end of event.
Don’t think I really missed anything tbh.
I think I May have completely missed this event 
You were not the only one, although I knew it was there I couldn’t play and couldn’t care.
