March will be just about halfway over this Sunday and Pokemon GO players will be able to celebrate the occasion with a short Incense event. The event is putting Beldum in the spotlight, but that is far from the only Pokemon that will be featuring increased incense spawns when March 14 rolls around.
The Pokemon GO Incense 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 to the PoGO meta-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 who want to secure multiple copies of all three shiny Pokemon will 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.

That should be everything trainers need to prepare for the event and take full advantage of the limited window of bonuses. Be sure to keep a close eye on the event schedule to make sure playtime is optimized based on the spawns each player is most interested in seeing.
Over the next week or so players should begin to learn a lot more about what other events are on the way throughout the Season of Legends. Be sure to check back in the near future for more Pokemon GO strategy guides, news, and updates. Until then, good luck out there, trainers!
