In 2016, Pokemon Go was released and got downloaded across the entire world over half a billion times by the end of the year. The augmented reality mobile video game had over 147 million monthly active users by May 2018, over a billion total downloads by 2019, and grossed more than $6 billion in revenue by 2020. Since then, much content has been added to the game.
There is an item in particular called the Lure Module, which players use on a PokeStop to attract more wild Pokemon to show up nearby. A PokeStop that has an active Lure Module is noticeable through the pink flower petals swirling around it. They last for 30 minutes, as do the Lure Modules themselves.

Lure Modules are given to players as a reward for hitting Level 8, 10, 15, 25, and 35. Two Lure Modules are given at Level 20, three at Level 30, and four at Level 40. Or, Lure Modules are purchasable from the shop for 100 PokeCoins each or a bundle of eight for 680. Moreover, they are rewards for players that complete certain Special Research tasks.
"A module that attracts Pokémon to a PokeStop for 30 min," says the item's official in-game description. "The effect benefits other people nearby."
In May 2019, three advanced Lure Modules were added: the Mossy Lure Module, the Glacial Lure Module, and the Magnetic Lure Module. Each attracts specific types of Pokemon but more important are necessary when trying to evolve certain Pokemon.
