A Mysterious Incense Special Research story has arrived in Pokemon Go, so we’ve got details of the tasks and rewards to help you complete both parts right here.

Trainers around the world have noticed a Special Research story appearing in Pokemon Go called A Mysterious Incense, which is tied into the new Daily Adventure Incense item just launched by Niantic.

By completing this Special Research story, you’ll be able to unlock the Daily Adventure Incense and learn how to use it to encounter some rare creatures including Galarian Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos.

Below, you’ll find all of the tasks and rewards in both parts of the Mysterious Incense Special Research story.
