Another great novelty is that with the Daily Adventure Incense it will be possible to meet the shiny versions of Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres from Galar and the best of all is that they won’t escape if you don’t capture them the first time. This means that they will remain on your screen until you get hold of them, escape, or run out of Poké Balls, whichever comes first.
