Can you use Mystery Box and Incense?
To directly answer the question, no, you cannot use Mystery Box and Incense at the same time, as the Incense will be consumed and the Mystery Box will not work until the Incense has finished, and using Incense does not increase Meltan spawns from the Mystery Box. The Mystery Box is used to spawn wild Meltan for 60 minutes, after which it cannot be reopened for three days, while Incense is used to lure Pokémon to your location for a specified duration.
