Pokémon GO’s Season of Adventures Abound’s Incense Day: Skorupi event guide

In the world of Pokémon GO, it has been nearly two years since the last Incense Day was announced. It’s back for October 2023 and since we’re in the midst of the Pokémon GO Halloween 2023 Part I event, the event will give us a short break from catching Ghost-type Pokémon. Skorupi, along with a variety of Bug- and Poison-type Pokémon, will be featured. These (adorable or not) “creepy” crawlies will take turns spawning each hour, save for Skorupi (which will be available the entire event). Do keep in mind that the Pokémon GO Halloween 2023 Part I event will still be happening at the same time, so that event’s bonuses and more will also be active. (For more details about the Season of Adventures Abound, you can check out our overall Season of Adventures Abound guide hub.)

Now, check out what’s happening during the Incense Day: Skorupi event with our guide below:
